aliaschief replied to rafinmd's topic in Holland America Line
Good morning. We are just arriving I St Johns, Antigua. Another catamaran day here. Last night we had another Chefs Table with the theme being Italy. Very good! Slept in a little to late so now kind of rushed getting ready for excursion. After dinner we went to late show where the singers and dancers put on a great show. Really enjoying the entertainment on board. Thanks Roy for all you do and to all who contribute.- 81 replies

We enjoyed our Azamazing evening last night. Bussed to Bridgetown’, Barbados large cricket stadium we were treated to a Carnival like atmosphere with lots of steel drums, singers, dancers in lavish costumes. It was a nice evening of enjoying the history, culture and music of the island. Upon return to the ship we were offered flutes of bubbly at the gangway and the ships band playing outdoors on the promenade. A classy way to end the day after catamaran, snorkeling, buffet an our Amazing evening. Arrive Dominica at 1:00 PM.

Good morning! We are currently at sea headed for Dominica. Last night was our Amazing evening were we were all transported by bus to Bridgetown’s Barbados large Cricket Stadium were we entertained by a show of Carnival of rhythm and history and culture of the island. Lot’s of steel drums, singers, dancers in lavish costumes. Upon return to ship we were welcomed with flutes of bubbly and the ships band playing on promenade. A very amazing evening indeed. Azamara has one of these evenings each cruise at no extra cost per guest. I guess I can relieve my wild man days as I’m pretty tame these days. Mae’s quote has a lot of truth. Thanks to all who contribute.- 115 replies

It just cracks me up that Azamara can have charcoal grills cooking lamb chops and kebabs and Holland can’t.- 68 replies

We have been enjoying trying the different cocktail selections offered at Atlas Bar. Some tasty concoctions. Wi Fi has been so good that we have been able to watch long video streams.

We are in Saint Lucia today and it’s a pretty nice day but we have had a couple of lite showers. Hopefully it will clear off so we enjoy White Night by the pool. We really enjoyed our dining experience last night at the Chef’s Table. It was the Stateside Theme menu. There was a typo on menu. They did not offer white wine with beef or Red with fish! Here are some pics for foodies!

Good morning! We had a wonderful dining experience last night. Yes the wine selections on yesterday’s menu I posted was a typo. Today we are in St Lucia and tonight is White Night. Whether permitting tables are set around the pool, majority of folks dress in white. Big BBQ and feast served by officers then band, dancers singers perform and a lot of dancing among guest. A bunch of mature guest acting like teenagers! When I think of peculiar people Red Neck Bob comes to mind!😁 Enjoying a cafe latte and breakfast will soon arrive. May post some food porn pics later. Thanks for the reports- 68 replies

We’ll soon find out. Traditionally at these type dinners one can usually ask for a white or red. Some folks do not do well on red wine. Plus we agree with you. Feel it’s a misprint.- 62 replies

We still love our Holland America but trying something new has been refreshing. This meal isn’t something you do every week as it’s $95.00 per person!- 62 replies

They have a different theme every day. Tonight we are going to Chefs Table where the theme is Stateside Menu. They also have French, Italian theme evenings. This is extra fee and I believe around 14 folks maximum.- 62 replies

Good morning! We have just arrived Charlestown, Nevis which will be a tender port. We enjoyed our stay on board yesterday in St Thomas. We just may do the same today. Enjoyed a nice dinner in MDR last night followed by a show in Cabaret Lounge. MDR is open seating of which we have never had to wait and always get a table for two at our adopted waiter’s service area. The Wi Fi still amazes me and the price of $71.00 for entire cruise was even better. Per request from Redneck Bob here is a sample of last nights menu. Roy thanks for your loyal volunteerism and triple duty. Thanks to our police. Have a great day. Bruce- 62 replies

It was a pretty sail into St Thomas this morning and as we arrived those of us enjoying breakfast on the aft terrace were treated to a vivid rainbow. Last night we enjoyed cocktails in Atlas Bar followed by dinner in Prime C. Wonderful service and the chauteaubriand was perfect. Chef’s special dessert of rum raisin soufflé was delicious. After dinner we enjoyed the ships band playing big band popular tunes followed by our CD Matt who put on a great show. Met a couple who were on the inaugural cruise. They showed pictures of what it was like! Happy to say I haven’t seen anything that even resembles those pictures. They have done an excellent job of bringing Onward up to standard. We are enjoying our day be the pool. Life is good on the beautiful Onward.

Good morning. Another pretty day and Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas coming into view. We dined in Prime C last night and enjoyed Chateaubriand for two. We then went to the Cabaret Lounge and enjoyed our CD Matt put on a great show. Along with the ships band which includes great sax and trumpet players. As I write all of us having breakfast outdoors aft are being treated to a vibrant rainbow. Today we may get off and walk around but may just enjoy the less used pool. Tonight we return to MDR. So when I entered Windows Cafe this morning I was looking around the muffins and asked the gal working that station “got any donuts?” No donuts so I went to table to join Sue and was soon approached by a supervisor apologizing for not having donuts! Tomorrow there will be donuts! Spoiled rotten!😁 Thanks for the reports and postings.- 77 replies

Yes, sparkling jacket and shoes and a diamond ring that Liberace gave him. I Sue hope Hal gets the Star Link Wi Fi they just had installed on Onward. Fastest I have ever experienced on a ship. Crew members so excited. “It’s so fast!” I have been even watching my news apps video streams. Best part was $71.00 for entire cruise!- 68 replies
