I know she does but don't see it very often.  I've seen a big sign at the end of the harbor in St. Lucia thanking her for her presence there but have never seen her there on AIS.

Same here, never seen her anywhere but Oranjestad, at the same berth, but she does get around, just a little bit. She's an old lady, you know; gotta have her prune juice plus a kick start to get going!

Hope there is more to come!

[Copper10-8]

Hey, just in time!

Yeah, they said they have a lot of Canucks on board, imagine that

We could use a WP on the PE cam.

Good look at her spare anchor centered on the bullwark on her bow deck

1st smaller lifeboat does double duty as the rescue boat. She does not have the low profile fast ones that the Vistas and up have

Lots of sun coming into the midship pool.

Three nice long toots.  I’m happy.  Until next time.

Yay!!! Nice toots!!

[rafinmd]

Horn seemed a bit hoarse but still nice toots.  Wishing all on the Zaandam a great cruise.

 

Thanks Kathi, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.

Far right

2 year old says Zaandam is "pretty blue boat." I agree.

Lovely blue skies and peaceful seas to all cruising on her.

I didn't even realize that there was a HAL ship in port. They're doing concrete work on our balconies so I'm kind of encased in plastic. Hi all!

Did the whistle wake you up, Brian?

 No, I was just sitting in the living room reading and I heard it. They've got us locked in while they do the concrete work and our windows are covered by plastic film. The view ain't what it used to be.

Got it! Hopefully, not too long w/o that great view and the Cornhuskers flag

Hopefully not. The weather is finally getting nice. We can go to the pool or the beach, but there's something about watching the ship traffic from the balcony.

Zuiderdam is approaching the Verizzano Bridge.  There's no WP at this hour but the ship will go through the field of view.

[rafinmd]

Correction--We do have a WP
