After lunch we came back to the stateroom and there was a message from the front desk reminding us that we still had unused non refundable obc.

Nice touch!

We're there more than one flavor of bread pudding ? We're there any cold berry soups ?

I would just take a rain poncho from your local dollar store

You can buy tickets in some of the convenience stores downtown. For a full list, look here:
https://www.atb.no/en/ticket/ (Scroll down for "Retailers". For example "Narvesen Prinsenkrysset" which would be very close to the first tram stop "St. Olavs gate". Google maps will get you there or just ask any person you see downtown where "Prinsenkrysset" is).

 

I would however recommend downloading the AtB app instead. (More info about the app on the same link above) You can set it to english language and buy your ticket on your phone. The same ticket will work for both the bus and the tram and if you plan to ride several times (3 or more) a 24 hour ticket might be better. Remember half price for seniors if you're within that demographic group. 

 

Welcome to Trondheim!

I am well into the senior demographic ..lol ! I am not bringing a phone so if I have time to take the tram I will stop at a convenience store. Thank you 😊 

Can they be bought onboard or at a nearby shop ? I am not sure if I will have time to go

Will there be taxis at the pier ? Any idea of cost ?

It looks too far to walk. How much would taxi be ?

Observations and bon mots, part......whatever!

 

@Cruisetrekker, there also a small Star Trek group on board, including one actor, a Cameron somebody, who was in 40 episodes. Also 2 retired astronauts. And a couple of NASA folks doing some research. 

 

Captain Smit is pretty funny, and a good speaker. His accent seems to lend to his humor and presentation. He said we are still 3 to 5 years ( my summary of what he said) at least from a female Captain.  But there are several females in the chain, including a 3 striper on Zaandam right now.

 

Docked next to the MSC Explora 1. Google it...very interesting. 

 

 

 

Actually there is 3 actors aboard and one special effects guy

Not sure what to call them? Sky and Telescope is the group...somewhere around 485 of them. Does that make them sci-fi? Have seen a few Star Trek and related tee shirts. They have had a lot of events. Interesting to hear them talking around the ship about their various experiences. As I have mentioned,  this is not an early riser crowd at all.

You are right. Some of them are a sub group of star trek fans that have travelled together for over 25 years. I have travelled the world with them and really should be there this year but it is getting so expensive......

If you look carefully you might see an actor or two or three

You have a sci Fi group aboard I hope they are behaving LOL !!

Ask for the sauce on the side then throw a shot of rum or bourbon in it, or throw the shot on the pudding before the sauce. Perhaps @POA1 could take on this vital research and submit a report on his findings. I would take it on myself but alas I won't be on Westerdam until March next year and this requires a quicker answer. Of course I wouldn't  be able to do a good job on the bourbon variant because I have never enjoyed that spirit; Rum on the other hand is more to my liking. That being said I like vanilla sauce on bread pudding so my report would be skewed towards a vanilla sauce.

I would be willing to bethe taste taster with the rum

I am on your sailing World with Bill. Your better head straight to the Lido after embarking because I might get there first and eat it all

I have to stop reading, as this has made me hungry for lunch now. And since I do not have bread pudding at home, I'll have to wait for the NS.I am on your cruise so you better go straight to the Lido and find it when you embark or I will probably be there first and eat it all

The Bread Pudding at lido is awesome....get some.

 

It seems to vary at the location based on the ship but I recall finding it at the ice cream, pie, cake area or at the end caps where the bread/pizza is.....

 

All you need to do is ask any lido person "where is the bread pudding" and they will dispatch you to the area....

 

Enjoy the bread pudding.....

It's been two years almost since I had some on the Rotterdam and my mouth is so ready for some! Lol I will be on the Statendam this time,

Besides the one that is served at breakfast. What station can I find it in the Lido ?

Also has anyone seen any other flavours lately like banana or chocolate ??

omg ! I just can't wait !

Is it down or is it me ?

Is it down or is it me ?

Where can I buy a ticket?

George st is perfect for me , I am headed to the Hard Rock 

I think it is Bus X99 but someone needs to verify this
