I have a picture taken from the top deck looking down at the bow before any repairs were made and after the railings and struts were repaired. I'll put them up on the web and link them here. I don't have any that were taken from in front of the ship.

 

There has been a fairly large dent in the bow since I first saw Prensendam in January 2005. I asked Capt Gundersen about it and he said it encountered a 40 ft wave at 20 knots. He also indicated that it wasn't when he was onboard...

Thank you Grumpy the excellent report. I had DH read it before he went to work this morning. We're looking forward to seeing your pictures.

 

Please give our greetings to the lovely Slinky. Also, we'd like to thank you for saving our keisters that night in Hamburg. None of the rest of us at dinner that night had thought to have our room keys changed to reflect our new table. We've learned from that experience. ;)

Here's a link to Webshots with three photos of the bow taken from the top deck.

OK, follow the link in my signature and look in my Public Shoebox album

That works, as does the link (in post #105 above) since you've edited it. Thanks!

[DougandEric]

Thanks Grumpy. That doesn't look too bad - at least from above.

And I didn't hear any rumors of the pumps working overtime or the pax on deck 4 being issued bailing buckets to keep her that way, either :D

Thank you for the link Grumpy, the story scared me a little bit, but i suppose it will all make the trip much more exciting when i sail next week, hoping for the quiet sailing though
