Actually, Zuiderdam is scheduled to go up the Amazon to Manaus on the 2024 World Cruise. I guess we will see how that goes, but obviously the Amazon is not considered by HAL to be a barrier to assigning such an itinerary to Zuiderdam.

Hi Bill & Mary Ann. We met you on the New Statendam last Spring, where we were right down the hall from you. We always enjoy, and learn from, your blogs, especially now when we are anticipating being on the 2024 WC. Interesting about your being charged full price at the Sel de Mer pop-up. We had dinner at a Sel de Mer pop-up on the Grand Africa about 2 months ago and received the full Mariner's discount. I wonder whether there has been a policy change or this is a ship by ship (or cruise by cruise) onboard decision. Rick & Mary

When the NYT mini-paper was printed on HAL ships it always included a crossword puzzle. Now that it is gone, does anyone know whether there is an alternative way the ship will provide a printed daily crossword?
