Pop quiz; why are the Zuiderdam-class ships known as "Vista" class?

[rafinmd]

Another easy one--4 points of the compass.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

Is that Oosterdam in the gap between the ships?

True re: the four directions in Dutch, but "Vista" has nada to do with a compass

I knew points of compass - but have never considered what the 'Class name' stood for. I'll be waiting on your answer.

Eighty-five percent of the staterooms have ocean views and sixty-seven percent have verandas, in addition to the extensive use of glass in the superstructure of the class, resulted in the name "Vista class"

Nice work by those aircraft handlers! It's like a Formula-1 pit stop down there

I wonder what NA Rescue Boat 2 was doing yesterday to get caught frozen in time on AIS.

Poss a "Abandon ship" or "MOB" drill and an AIS hiccup

[Copper10-8]

Will we have a PTZ operator?

Finally showing real evidence of docking port to.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Oosterdam will soon be docked.

Wishing all the Oosterdam passengers a great day in Juneau.

See you all tomorrow for the Noordam.

She should be docked by 1PM or shortly thereafter.

That red/blue Turbo Otter appears to be a new one

Hope to be here for the Noordam tomorrow.
