Now on the Maasdam's 14-day Caribbean!

[Golden Cat]

We sailed yesterday morning on the Maasdam, heading out for a 14 day tour of the Caribbean. Woohoo!

 

While sailing I try to post a daily weblog, time and internet connections permitting. The first post went up five minutes ago... follow along on our trip at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/hal_09_home.htm

 

Enjoy!

Looking forward to your "Live" report.

[aliaschief]

I have read your other daily logs and will be especially looking forward to this one. We have 28 days booked on the MS Maasdam this year. Both repositions to Canada May & Oct.

 

Matter of fact, went out to get the newspaper this morning and our Doc's for the May 8 repositioning cruise were laying at our front door and had been there overnight!! We are having a half awake Doc Dance!

Thanks so much for posting a link here at CC. I have read your last Maasdam journal, and also checked out your trip on the Spirit last year:) Enjoy all the information and the pictures:)

Looked at your blog - looks like you are having a wonderful time - I am sooo jealous.

 

We will be on the Maasdam/New England cruise in October. I see your stateroom is an outside room. What category? We have a D booked for our cruise (didn't figure we should spend the extra for a balcony on a cooler weather cruise) but we have never stayed in anything other than a balcony room and just wondered about the room.

 

Hope your cruise is GREAT!! :)

Yesterdays (Saturday's log) just got posted at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_14.htm.

 

As for our cabin, we're in 846 - on A Deck (Deck 4) all the way in the stern on the port side. We weren't sure what to expect being that low and far back, but we' like it. Much better than being all the way forward like we were last time we were on the Maasdam!

What a great report - I am really enjoying your cruise, almost like I'm traveling with you .... almost LOL :D!

 

Thanks for the info on the stateroom - your room looks great! Have you noticed any improvements since drydock?

Just home from the hospital, but did this same cruise last November. You have made my recovery MUCH easier as I read your amazing minute by minute report, I am redoing this cruise in my head! Thank You

[Golden Cat]

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

 

Today's log (Sunday) is now up at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_15.htm

We sailed this same itinerary on the Maasdam exactly one month ago and am enjoying your daily posts very much! I'm re-living our cruise and wishing I were onboard ship again. Thank you!

We had a great time in San Juan on Monday... it can be found at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_16.htm

Wonderful account of your voyage. Warming us up for the same one in April.

 

Quick question. On Formal nights so far are most men in suits or Tuxes.

 

Thanks

[Toad]

I am loving every minute of this!

[aliaschief]

Again, thanks, what a great log! Make reservations for two of us tonight in the dining room!

[Love the beach]

Thank you for bringing us along. I, too, am loving every minute! Especially love that you insert the pictures with the text! The Segeway tour seems like a great idea-- will have to try it!

[kyriecat]

Great reports. I'm jealous but only have a few more weeks until my cruise!

[airlink diva]

I'm really enjoying your blog! I sailed on her in late October and loved every moment of my cruise!!

I wish that I was on her right now instead of at work. Oh well, I have to wait until April 2010 before I step foot on my fave ship!

Happy sailing!!

[Golden Cat]

I had trouble posting this morning from the ship = 8 tries and Frontpage just wouldn't do it. Time for a new program when I get home. The log is up now at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_18.htm

 

Enjoy!

[Toad]

Why are you cruising? I would be spending my time in Saba at your very own cottage!

[Golden Cat]

We cruise because we love travel in all it's many forms! We spend 6-8 weeks a year in Saba and enjoy it immensely... but cruising gets us out and about in the rest of the world.

 

Yesterday's log just got posted at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_19.htm

 

Our advice - if you go to Dominica, go river tubing!!!

[Toad]

We have done the river tubing 6 times and would do it again!

[Golden Cat]

We had a quiet but nice day in Barbados... check it out at http://pcaldwell5.tripod.com/march_20.htm

 

Thanks for reading along.

What a great story!!! I am anxious to read the rest... wonder if you "ever sleep"???? :p

 

We'll be on the Maasdam for the May repositioning Ft Lauderdale-Montreal! The docs have arrived and it's difficult not to start packing so soon.

 

Thanx for the great posts...I'm waiting for today's details!!!!
