Happy Birthday Nieuw Statendam

[1ANGELCAT]

Happy 1st Birthday December 5th. It’s hard to believe it’s a year ago that I boarded for the crossing.

This means the Innagural season is over.  I have been on her twice.

Happy Birthday Nieuw Statendam.

Happy Birthday, we'll be on her in July.

Hard to believe it has been a year since the Premier Cruise. It was an exceptional experience. Have already booked passage on the Ryndam's Premier cruise. Have no idea of itinerary nor pricing, but want to be part of the excitement of a new ship.

 

Happy Birthday Nieuw Statendam! May you continue to have smooth sailings and happy passengers and crew.

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for this post.  I sailed on her in January, 2019 and proudly wear the nice polo shirt that celebrates her Inaugural season.  Given my experiences that I had on her, particularly in the MDR, I felt I was helping to "break her in".

Wow!  Almost a year since we sailed on NS for Christmas week.  My son and I enjoyed it so much, we're doing it again this year in the same cabin 4154, but this time we're going to cruise Christmas and New Year's.  My son's first B2B, and he's so excited about the fact that he doesn't have to get off after the first seven days!  We're in countdown mode and hope our second cruise on this lovely ship is as much fun as the first time.

 

We're also anticipating her new sister, debuting in 2021, and we're eagerly awaiting those itineraries.

Let's hope they scrape off the "Nieuw" eventually.  🙃😤

Yes!  There is confusion with two ships being Nieuw not to mention the tradition of the Statendam name.

I'd be surprised that the current Nieuw Statendam would become the "Statendam".  The newbuild sister of hers will be named Ryndam--not "Nieuw Ryndam".

I'll bring the paint, you supply the chisel.  😀

Maybe it could happen, who knows. They rename ships all the time. (But guess it's wishful thinking on our part ... ☹️)
