Rare VMax1700 Posted April 12, 2019 #101 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Here is the word of Captain Darin! Ryndam will be capable of transiting Panama Canal as lifeboat davitts will be different. 'Will we lose any of the Promenade Deck?' asks I. 'No' says he, as Ryndam will have a diffetent type of davitt, which will be adjustable inwards for PCA rules. 'Will those davitts be retro fitted to Kdm and NS?'. 'No, would be cost prohibitive!' Ryndam will probably do Caribbean through winter months and Alaska during summer months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would kinda doubt if that decision has been made already, Father. Interesting tidbit however; Capt. Bowland was initially announced as the take out master of Nieuw Statendam however, was then replaced without an explanation by Capt. de Boer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to finally meeting Captain Bowland. Captain de Boer did a good job and appeared to be guest-friendly as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted April 13, 2019 #107 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Captain Bowland has been my most memorable, and favorite, of all the HAL captains I have sailed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Captain Bowland was announced as the take out Captain. Then when Captain de Boer took it out I thought I must have gotten it wrong. Thanks for telling what happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FlaMariner Posted May 7, 2019 #112 Share Posted May 7, 2019 RE: Confusion w/the two Nieuw ships...... Was working with TA to book the NS. He quoted me NA prices. (NA was departing Saturday, NS Sunday) Once he realized his mistake (which was when it was time to book) he did what he could to make good on the disparity in price. Minor confusion but I'm certain it occurs frequently and can be a bigger problem. I'm all for dropping the Nieuw on Statendam....And looking forward to sailing on her again as well as the Ryndam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the Ryndam would be capable of doing the Panama Canal cruises, great news for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
