OVgirl Posted January 7, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here are a couple of groups on Westerdam, January 17, 2015. I noticed in another thread that the groups seem to be causing some diningroom problems. Finding out about these groups less than 2 weeks from sailing is unbelievable. A continuing education course on board. http://www.continuingeducation.net/coursedescription.php?topic=Diabetes_Metabolic_Syndrome_Obesity_CME_Cruise_Caribbean_January_2015 And a Gospel Music Celebration cruise. http://www.imcconcerts.com/event.php?id=59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormyWildcat Posted January 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I noticed that Maasdam returns from her holiday cruise January 4th, 2016 and then starts her South America trip on January 14th, but I do not see any trip listed for the time between.
