    We have just returned from our cruise on Azamara Journey from Civitavecchia to Lisbon and entertainment was excellent, in fact, better than ever. We were so lucky that Eric de Grey was the cruise director on Journey. We so much enjoyed his shows.

    There is currently a very popular band from the Philippines on board that plays every night in the Living Room and the dance floor was well frequented. 

    The name of the band is East Pearl; I have a friend that is a bartender ( Rodel ) on the Journey who was very happy about that the guest liking the band..

    I don't remember that promo in the UK either. It can't have run for very long. There were no posts about it here that I recall, but what with the pandemic wasn't logging on as much. A nice way to make up for cancelled cruises!

    Can’t see it being 2022 as itineraries are already out and on sale besides it’s too soon for people to organise being away for that sort of time. There’s nothing for Onward in 2024 so that might be it, on Facebook saying information is due today.

    I guess we will find out on Thursday?  Onward would seem the likely ship but in 2024..jmo

    Holland America Line is getting ready for a big comeback in the United States. In a letter sent to the employees, Holland America Line President Gus Antorcha said that after CDC issued a framework for conditional sailing, which allows eventual resumption of cruising, the company will deploy six ships in the U.S. waters in the coming weeks.

    "Following in-depth discussions with the CDC, other government agencies, and medical and science authorities, we have decided to start moving six Holland America Line ships toward U.S. waters over the next several weeks to begin completing the requirements for conditional sailing." Mr. Antorcha said in the letter.

    The ships moving to U.S. waters for eventual resumption of cruising will be Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam, and Noordam. Specific arrival timing and locations are yet to be determined.

    “While there is still much to be done, this is an important first step toward our goal of resuming cruise operations. Holland America Line will continue to work with the CDC on our eventual return to guest cruise operations. We are fully aligned with the CDC on our top priorities for compliance, protecting the environment, and the health, safety, and well-being of our guests, the people in communities we touch, our crew, and shoreside employees.” Gus Antorcha said. “Until we are able to communicate a specific date, we ask for, and appreciate your patience. We are committed to sharing more details as soon as possible.”
