Yes we do; yesterday was a beautiful 16C (60F), and overnight we had a cold front move in bringing freezing rain, then snow and we are expecting a high of -4 (24F) today with a frigid wind.  On the positive side, there aren't any mosquitos.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

 

Hang in there! Gonna be a looooong one by the sounds of it

Easy pop quiz; what is Nieuw Amsterdam named for?

If you listen real close, you can hear the "beep, beep" backup sound

When are you sailing?  I tried this week, but was told to check in November for dining reservations on the Nieuw Statendam.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Love the profile of the HAL ships.

I have arrived in time to watch the sailaway!  I have been busy elsewhere on the CC site this afternoon as well as doing other research online.

[Krazy Kruizers]

She should be moving forward towards the channel soon.

One of HAL's best captains in charge for his last pre-vac voyage; Capt. Jeroen van Donselaar. He likes to toot!

[rkacruiser]

Have the ships been repainted a darker shade of blue?  Looks like it to me and I like it!

[ger_77]

Gooood toots ! ! !

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Nice long toots from the Nieuw Amsterdam.   Now that is how you toot.

[erewhon]

Good early toots.

[rafinmd]

Now THAT'S what tootin should be!

 

I think HAL has the magic, not Carnival,

No 'sissy' toots today.
