Thanks, Ellie, for sharing all of this. 

Looking through this thread took me back to my cruise to the islands on Rotterdam V. 

Hope to make it back there one of these days.  😍🍹

Happy Birthday!

Don't leave without me, I'm almost done packing!!  😵🙉

Hmm. It sounds like you booked it with your fcc already

We are on that cruise and hope we finally get to go after all the previous cancelations

Oh, no ... most definetely not.

I'm extra careful at not clicking buttons, and didn't touch "book now" or "hold".  😱

So I'm not going.   😭

My FCC is still out there, and waiting to be used.

(But have to admit, that itinerary looks pretty nice ... )

Please give her my regards. 

90 days?

I recall final payment being due 75 days before departure, at least that is what's mentioned on their website and brochures.  

Thanks!

I think I know which one I'll book.    🧐

This was our "summer cruiser" horseless carriage for a number of years.  It came to us as a pathetic looking vehicle, but DH paid to have it beautifully restored.  I used to refer to as my "61 Hair Dryer" because in the early mornings by the time I got to work my hair would be dry.  It was so long it just barely fit into our garage.  We finally gave it up a few years ago, as it didn't seem fair to only take it out a few times every summer, so it went to a new home where they said it would see lots of miles.

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

What's  the make and model?

(I tried zooming in ,but the name gets blurred)

Strike three.....

 

Which leaves one one option, which is Maasdam.

I remember the lanterns and the fountain. Never paid much attention as to what they were made of. 

Thanks for bringing that up. 😎

Which Ship?
 

Statendam

But the passageways were the real deal ... Capri Deck, and the stairtowers.

Except at the end when he had to get on a tender.

LOL

That was classic.

This episode is a real keeper.   🙂

Oh, ok ... 

It's starting to make sense now.

My FCC from the cancelled Sky Princess Nov2020 is the deposit. And if I want to book that Mexico trip, I'm technically booked.

Sounds easy. 

I appreciate your help guys. Thanks a mill!

Hey peeps

Ok, so I get on the Princess site to check out what's on offer for next year. 

Found the 10day Sea of Cortez on Grand Princess for 5Dec.

Did a dummy booking, and it won't let me have the deposit option. My fare got adjusted from my FCC, and it's either pay now or "Hold without payment til Sep 6 2021."

Hold without payment? Doesn't sound right (or am I not really understanding things tonite LOL)

Does that mean holding it is "booking and not paying for it til next year" ??

Thanks for your help and patience.   😵

It was a good story. 

But have to say I lost count how many times they said "It's a ship" ...    🧐

3 double WangWangs!  Of course after that you’ll end up on the FloorFloor!!!!

Oh boy, I'm in trouble!  LOL

Just make sure I get them by my birthday in a few weeks.   🤪

Correct - it is the Winsdstar Cafe on the Zuiderdam which was HAL’s first dedicated coffee bar. When the Library was converted to the Explorations cafe Concept the space was converted to the Pinnacle bar.  Now that the explorations Cafe has been moved to the Crows Nest I personally would like to see the space re-imagined as the Grand Dutch cafe on all the Vista and Signature class vessels as they go through their next drydocks.

I know, it took me long enough.   LOL

I recall seeing that name on the original deckplans, but knew it would comeback to me.

(So what do I win? )

Just seeing the name ROTTERDAM on the bow makes me happy!

I feel the same way. 

Lets just hope they don't add "NIEUW" to the front.  🤐

WINDSTAR!!!

WINDSTAR!!!

WINDSURF CAFE!!

Getting warmer..... hint - the venue was named after another cruise brand then linked to Holland America

WINDJAMMER CAFE !!!!!!!!!

I remember it being a coffee bar of sorts, that's all I recall. 

(Drat ... the name escapes me!)

And, all 4 Vista ships had one.  🧐
