Roy, you’re right! I hadn’t noticed , I mainly look at my Navigator app, and that still says Sailaway is 4 pm. I’ll have to check with the Frint Desk and see which is correct. -
After breakfast we went to the Crow’s Nest for a cappuccino and to have a look at the historic display that has been set up there. Lots of pictures and memorabilia. My pictures aren’t great because of the reflections, but you get the idea.

Mass was at 8 this morning, and didn’t end until almost 9. So we had a late breakfast in the lido for the first time. It seems to be mainly self-serve, except for things that have to be cooked. So I helped myself to my favourite smoked salmon and pecan pastry. And the coffee was good and hot.

Dinner last night was just the two of us in Club Orange. We had a kir royale before, in the Ocean Bar, and chatted with Khay, who is having a busy time with all the visitors on board. Club Orange didn’t seem too busy when we are, about 6:30, but filled up by the time we finished eating. Our new manager , Wayan, gave us a nice corner table, when we could watch all the comings and goings. I had the fresh haddock and Pat had the Polish galumpki, the fish was lovely and it was really fresh, the lady at the next table said it was just brought on that morning. I am a bad “Live Frommer”, though , I always forget to take a picture of the starter! Dessert, rhubarb crisp and the cheese platter, there were crackers, but I had to ask for them!

After seeing Martha and Tony off to visit their daughter, we decided to go for the short walk over to Pier 83 and take a 1-hour boat ride on the Circle Line, as recommended by our historian on board, Bill Miller. It was just as far as the Statue of Liberty and back again, so not too onerous! It is a rather overcast day and not warm, but they have to have had some good weather, as even the tulips are blooming.

The Fleet Report and Daily for Thursday April 6th, 2023
Vict0riann replied to StLouisCruisers's topic in Holland America Line
Good afternoon from New York. We are having a lovely time on Rotterdam, although both of us are having difficulties with going out and about. But it is nice to be able to just relax on board. We did walk a bit this morning, and took an hour’s boat ride as far as the Statue of Liberty and back. Perhaps tomorrow, a visit to the Intrepid, which is right next door. I hope to attach(!) a photo of my mother’s Fraser dress tartan kilt and all the trimmings. It was made for her on a visit to Scotland, I think when she was a teenager . It is all put together by hand, so it could be expanded or taken in. I sent it to a cousin in Vancouver a few years ago, as she has daughters who do Highland dancing. She was thrilled with it.- 90 replies

After a nice breakfast of smoked salmon in CO, we headed for the Dutch Cafe, where someone from the shore is doing a tasting of all the liquors there - at 9 o’clock in the morning! There will be inspections today evidently and the ship is bustling-all filters are being changed in the stateroom hallways.
