  3. I have lived in the South (Georgia) most of my life. I do like a good serving of grits with breakfast. I was told growing up that the taste of grits depended on what you added to them, either egg yoke, a bit of bacon grease, butter, etc. On Volendam for the 94 day GAUSNZ grits were available almost every day, but the quality varied from too watery to almost too dry. After a week or so, the server at my usual breakfast station made a point of checking the grits and would only suggest them when they were reasonably made.

  5. I talked to the IT director on Volendam earlier this year and his answer was that they exclude everything until someone makes a fuss about it. Once that happens it goes to Seattle for approval, then it is allowed.

  13. There is a thread that addresses just that question: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3020845-are-we-really-a-legendary-cruise/#comment-67717418 By the definition HAL provides for a legendary voyage, it should be. Some of the posts I have seen tend to indicate that it is, but I guess we won't know for sure until we board.

  18. @StLouisCruisers I thought the country code for Greece was HE (Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country in Southeast Europe. Located on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula, Greece shares land borders) so having GR for Greenland made sense. Turns out that the country code for Greece is GR, and Greenland is GL so since the source of the information is AIS, which comes from the ship, someone on the ship did enter GRPPI in error and the port code GLPPI does not exist
  19. I use cruisetimetables for the basic, advanced information and MT each morning. If you look at CTT's Zuiderdam listing you will see this - Last Recorded Location (AIS) @ marinetraffic.com Where is ms Zuiderdam now? so they refer you to MT for current location. That link brings you to this: which shows that Zuiderdam's port for today is, in fact Prinos where they should be arriving shortly
  20. Since I don't have your intimate knowledge of the world's cruise ports, I have to go by what is reported on Marine Traffic. MT reports Zuiderdam to be in Prinos, Greenland so that is what I went by. I did notice afterwards the report of scenic cruising. For Nieuw Statendam, MT reports arrival at Seydisfjordur, Iceland. For this I took the position that Djupivogur might be an alternate name for the area, which does quite often happen. I chose to leave the listing as originally provided.
  21. Today is Global Tiger Day, International Butler Day, and International Chicken Wing Day It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man. - H. L. Mencken Meal Suggestion for today - Clean-Out-the-Fridge Vegetable Soup Drink of the Day - Pineapple Express Wine of the Day - Dry Sack Sherry Destination of the Day - Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia Today in History: 1928 Test footage first created for Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie" with Mickey Mouse Ship Locations Eurodam Juneau, Alaska Koningsdam Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska 09:00 - 09:30 Nieuw Amsterdam At Sea Destination Ketchikan, Revillagigedo Island Alaska eta 07-30 Nieuw Statendam Djupivogur, Iceland 1000-1800 Noordam Hubbard Glacier, Alaska 1500-1800 Oosterdam Portofino, Italy Riviera 08:00 - 21:00 Rotterdam Nordfjordeid, Norway 11:00 - 18:00 Volendam Sydney NS, Nova Scotia Canada 08:00 - 17:00 Westerdam At Sea Destination Juneau, Alaska eta 07-30 Zaandam Ketchikan, Revillagigedo Island Alaska 11:00 - 19:00 Zuiderdam Prinos, Greenland
