Hi Copper

 

would you know who will be sailing as Captain.. Hotel Director..COM .. DRM and CD

 

this is our 3rd adventure in as many years on this Transatlantic Europe cruise

 

BTW..it sure beats 'pushing' a PD.. 23 years retired this past July 30.. and never looked back :) ( Suffolk County , NY)

 

thanx much

 

Where in Suffolk County? My DH is from Huntington, N.Y. & belonged to the Huntington Manor Fire Dept, before we were married..I grew up in Nassau & worked at JFK for a several years... We took early retirement & moved to FLa because we loved to sail & only could do that in the summer on L.I.

 

Sending a Thank You to you & Copper 10-8 for keeping us safe!.

Cheers..Betty

We really enjoyed Linda Minnikin on the Maasdam last Dec. We really hoped she would still be there this Dec., but no. Maybe on the Volendam or Oosterdam next Sept. 2014 or 2015, she gets our vote?

Linda is a very good CD; spent two Christmas/New Year celebrations with her as CD on Maasie. She's going to Statendam and Hawaii/Tahiti next, and will be on Prinsendam for the first half of 2014

Dear John: I was so sorry to see Pieter Bos leave the Volendam. He was an awesome Captain and was the absolute best on the inside passage!

[innlady1]

Linda Minnikin was our CD on the Maasdam in January of '11 or '12. I agree...she's a great CD.

Capt. Bos loves the wildlife in Alaska and always has a "who can spot the first bear ashore" contest for crew and passengers going, complete with door prices;)

It is a shame they took him off the Volendam!

Thank you Copper 10-8! Appreciate the info!! Was hoping we might hear the "Kiki" (sp?) might be on as DRM.

DRM Kiki Basuki, one of the best, just left Maasdam in Canada/NE and went straight to Oosterdam in Alaska

[sail7seas]

Yes it would

 

I have read Captains Log so I am aware of the author and the line he worked for I was also aware that Anthony Haywood was a CD but unsure on which ship.He used to be a frequent face in my living room on my TV and came across as having a great sense of humour,so I am more than happy to learn he will be the CD on my trip

 

 

 

Thanks for explaining. :)

 

Have a great cruise.

 

 

 

DRM - Hermenegildus Erni Hanzlagut or just "Gildus"

COM - Roland Borsje

Enjoy PRDM, Pettifogger! Semper Fi!

 

 

 

Never, never, never, JUST Gildus. We miss him so much.

Maitre d' extraordinaire. Yes, I know it's now DRM but for us, Gildus will always be an impeccable Maitre d'.

 

We'd be so thrilled to see him again.

It was NICE to read that Edward VanZaane [ and his DARLING wife Apolonia] are still sailing actively. The last time we saw them WAS on the NIEUW Amsterdam but we first knew them on several Grand cruises in the mid-2000s into Asia/Australia, on the Amsterdam and REALLY felt they are special!

I don't remember WHY now but on one of the earlier cruises I wrote Apolonia a "Thank You" note for something -and then heard that simply wasn't done; I became known as the "Thank-you note lady!" [ not a bad thing! ] They are a LOVELY and CHARMING couple and I'm glad to hear about them!

We'll be on the Amsterdam next month/WWII theme cruise in Asia -I believe FRed Everson is the Captain and we enjoy him too; They SHARED those duties/Capt on the Amsterdam! Memorable cruise; memorable PEOPLE!

Thank You, Copper -your information is always welcome! :) Anne

Captain Eversen is joining AMDM on 20 Sep, Ma'am. Awesome itinerary, Enjoy! :)

[ANSalberg]

This is our [?] 4th cruise ON HAL/ in Asia/ON the Amsterdam. I assumed when I retired I would 1. be bored 2. quit LEARNING. NONE of that is true and I've LOVED our adventures [PLUS a World Cruise/HAL -that took us thru the red sea/Suez and India and Egypt; which is what makes me sad about the recent politics in the Middle East; There is SO MUCH to see/learn/enjoy. It's called a "Bucket-list" and we've LOVED every minute!

Thanks for the information, John.

[sppunk]

John, any word on ms Eurodam for September 22?

[CruisinTexans]

Weird. Our documents said the captain would be Jonathan Mercer. We were surprised because is suppose to do the 14 world and that Fred always does the Asia/Pacific.

 

leslie

 

P.S. We like them both.
