Live! From Half Moon Cay

[Pudgesmom]

Its a bright sunny day here in the Bahamas. We're ready to sail for Ft Lauderdale on the OOsterdam after a week in the Caribbean We've had some bad weather, good food and great company! We're dining with HeatherinFlorida. Mostly, a great trip. The SS cabin is superb, we've spent hours reading and watching Humphrey Bogart. I'm on the way now for a sail away facial special.

 

I will write a review when we return. One interesting note: Dutch night is now International Night, including the Dutch hats, but no chocolate tulips anywhere in evidence.

Hello! Good to hear from you live on the scene. I'm glad your weather is good today. HMC is one of the most beautiful places on earth, IMO. We'll anxiously await more on your trip. Tell Heather hello.

Hi Beth....

 

 

Thank you so much for posting. I'm sorry to hear your weather was not good but happy you have enjoyed yourself anyway.

 

Eager to hear more about this International Night menu.....maybe you could jot down what the entrees were?

 

Please say HI to HEATHER....

 

Enjoy your last night aboard and we'll be eager to hear more from you (and her) when you get settled.

No Chocolate Tulip? :mad: Say it isn't so!!!!! That was the absolute best part of Dutch night!

 

I may have to find another cruise line if this keeps up.:rolleyes:

^(%&^^$*^)&(^%^$$%*^&

There. I think that says it all!

Ruth, no chocolate tulips!!! What are you to do? You did look "cute" wearing your dutch hat but I know that the chocolate tulips were the best part of Dutch night for you........

[RuthC]

I don't know, Adele! I simply don't know. Life as I know it may have come to an end.

 

Sure I like the hat. I've got some great pictures over the years, and of course it becomes a really nice dust cloth afterwards. But the tulip gone?

If it's truly "International" night HAL still needs to have something Dutch. The chocolate tulip is perfect!

Woe is me. Woe is me.

We were on the Oosterdam 10/31. My DD ordered a chocolate mousse desert

on Dutch night which our waiter said used to be called the Chocolate tulip. She loved it and I was miffed because I had ordered something else not knowing that was the tulip. Too full to order another desert!!!!:(

Still no email from my errant teenagers, so I will use my minutes here!:D

 

There was a choclate mousse on International Night, and it was delicious.

 

As far as the bad weather goes, what happened was, we ran into an otherwise unknown low? pressure system after leaving Tortola. We had 12-18 foot seas and gale force winds- either 50 knots or mph. Not sure on that. We were rocking and rolling for almost 24 hours! Yee Ha! I didn't miss my horse at all.;)

 

It cleared up today and all went ashore, including the contingent of service dogs and their owners.
