Rare HeinBloed Posted October 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Kalispera: it was one of the best cruises I ever made: The Homeric Quest on RYNDAM Part 1 of the blog is now available: http://heinbloed-hal.blogspot.com/2013/09/tagday-11-auf-deron-ryndam-in.html Our taxi driver Johanna. View out of Room 706 of the Hotel Poseidonio in Piraeus. Our little tiny janitor's closet After few hours I could already say: "dam good ships". Stress from the very first beginning onboard: which one should I take? My Bone-In-Rib-Eye-Steak in the Pinnacle Grill. I will let you know once I am finished with Day 2.

Rare HeinBloed Posted October 13, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Day 3 on Corfu is now available. This link below takes you to the blog with all pictures: http://heinbloed-hal.blogspot.de/2013/09/tagday-31-auf-deron-ryndam-in-korfu.html Once you are in my blog you need to scroll down to click on "Newer Post" to see the next pictures. Or "Older post" if you have not seen the pictures of the previous days before. This six pictures are only tasters. Good Morning, Captain Kim Karlsson - so sad to miss you in January 2014 on NORWEGIAN JADE There is one stupid thing when you are on a cruise ship: you never can take pictures like this from your own cruise ship. "Good Day - Sunshine!" Olive oil and olives tasting Visiting the Monestry of Paleokastritsa. A message from our shoes. See you next day in Katakolon (Olympia).

dvcmember Posted October 15, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've enjoyed every page. Under 50 days until I board the Ryndam. I can't beelive how exquisite the food presentation was throughout the voyage. I'm sure I'll snap a couple of flicks while on board and showcase to all my friends back home.

Rare HeinBloed Posted October 17, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted October 17, 2013 A nice reason to save taxes: Kusadasi, Turkey on Day 5. http://heinbloed-hal.blogspot.de/2013/10/tagday-61-auf-deron-ryndam-in-kusadasi.html Please visit all nine chapters to see all pictures. We feel good! This was heaven. Greeting from a Hamam. I love Turkish food! Especially in Turkey! With our friends Erkan and Deniz we discuss our program in Izmir and Istanbul when we are back in January 2014 with NORWEGIAN JADE. A fantastic view: Kusadasi and WIND STAR, RYNDAM and NAVIGATOR OF THE SEAS. The best Show "Classique": Viva la Vida - Long Live Life. We headed to Rhodes and I will revert once we arrived.

Rare Vict0riann Posted October 17, 2013 #20 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I recognized Roger, Lina and Jerry in the Pinnacle, and Vincent from the NL. They took good care of us on our Norway cruise in July. Great to see them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted October 18, 2013 Author #21 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Day 7 on Rhodes is now available: http://heinbloed-hal.blogspot.de/2013/10/tagday-71-auf-deron-ryndam-in-rhodos.html 7 chapters you need to visit to see all pictures. A beautiful sunrise. We would not make it alone to the port. Are they sure that we could go ashore. NAUTICA, SEVEN SEAS MARINER and HAMBURG were together with us in town. Only for looking - too beautiful to eat. Carnival??? So sad that the wonderful voyage is coming to the end very soon. Greetings HeinBloed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HeinBloed Posted October 20, 2013 Author #24 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Unfortunately even the most beautiful voyage will find an end! So the last four chapters of Day 8 from RYNDAM homebound via Vienna are written: http://heinbloed-hal.blogspot.com/2013/10/tagday-81-auf-deron-ryndam-in.html It was beautiful. And though we have been on Hawaii, Alaska, Halong Bay, Norwegian Fjords... that was definately one of the most beautiful voyages we have ever been. RYNDAM is a great ship with a lot of personality! A fantastic size where you will not miss anything. And a wonderful great crew. My superhero: Roger - he is next on PRINSENDAM's Grand Voyage as Pinnacle Grill Manager: Just order a dragonfruit. It would be same like a greeting from me. It was so sad. Corinth Canal. Enjoying the sea in Voula (near Athens)n. Dining with good friends... first here in Athens with Johanna and Nikolaos and later in Vienna with Carmen and Richard. I must find a way to get back to RYNDAM... And after I read that ALLURE OF THE SEAS would be in Europe in 2015 we could cancel OASIS OF THE SEAS in 2014 and find an alternative... I hope you had as much fun to join us on our voyage again as we had on our cruise. See you next time. I stayed with my opinion: Holland America is excellent.
