Oosterdam to Alaska 9/2 - Which captain?

[NWvacationer]

We are sailing to Alaska on the Oosterdam 9/2/2012. Is there anyway to know who the captain will be? We recently sailed with Captain van der loo to Hawaii, and would love to sail with him again. Thanks all!:)

Yes, I know how you feel, we sailed with Captain Van der loo in January and he was great. The only person I know that might be able to answer your question would be Copper.

PathfinderEss...he was the best right?? Did he make his dutch pancakes for you? He was just a joy...we just got back from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, and had a ball!

We have grown fond of many HAL Captains and would love to see a posting of who the Captain is for each cruise. Unfortunately, Captains change - sometimes even in the middle of a cruise, so there's never a guarantee. If would be so fun, however, to search each cruise and discover the Captain, Cruise Director, Piano Man (ya gotta love the best ones!!)....

Capt. Schettino, I believe its his name, sent a resume applying for a captain position. Apparently he was "grounded" recently from another cruise line...:rolleyes:

Capt. Arjen van der Loo, as of right now, is scheduled to be Oosterdam's captain for that particular cruise! Always subject to change though!;)

Hi Copper :) If it holds then we will get the pleasure of sailing with Captain van der Loo for the third time (and I hope we do as we will be doing ROV for our 30th anny on ship). He is just a kind and gentle soul, not to mention a helluva Captain.
