I sure do remember the Hema stores while growing up in Amsterdam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juneau is pretty far to the north, near the airport. I miss the one close by that closed a few years ago, although not as much as cruise ships started using unlimited wifi.

I flew Frontier airlines last month and they offered them as one of their purchasable snacks. Had them both directions. Yum! The perfect thing with a cup of coffee. United has them too, and they give them for free! They've replaced peanuts and pretzels. A big improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a tip from Sailing Dutchy if you have a coffee and a stroopwafel , lay the wafel for a minute or two on top of your warm cup of coffee that softens up the stroop ( sirrup ) and makes it even more delicious .

Baaijens replaced Capt. Sijbe de Boer as Fleet Captain for the company in 2018. That means he'll visit all fourteen ships periodically to conduct quality control and assurance, give training and conduct investigations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed on Volendam with him, a very personable Captain. He would always stop to speak when we saw him on the ship. We were told that on the occasion of a crew member's birthday, he would always find the birthday person to wish them Happy Birthday and shake their hand . We did see that happen with a wine waiter at dinner one evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double D Cruisers Posted July 15, 2019 #714 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi Copper, by chance would you know if the Tales of the South Pacific Voyage this October will have any Hawaiian Ambassadors onboard?

Having said that, long voyages such as the Tales of the South Pacific, most always have 2-4 Hawaiian Ambassadors sailing, giving lectures, classes, as well as playing music. Enjoy that voyage!

FlorenceItaly Posted July 15, 2019 #718 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Is Captain Jeroen Schuchman new to Holland America? I do not see him on Captain Albert's current Captain's list.

He has been on Prinsendam, first as Staff Captain and again as Master for just under 10 years, and was Prinsendam's final Captain. A real nice guy.

It looks like you are on the Tails of the South Pacific and will have Captain Jeroen. You are in for a real treat. I sailed with him several times but only once as Master, on Prinsendam's final 80-day Grand South America. He really went all out to make our journey special. The Prinsendam was the last HAL ship with open bridge wings and I loved to be on the top deck watching sailaways. Her he is leaving Barbados then as staff captain. He is on the left next to Captain Tim Roberts: Yes, he is quite tall. Roy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schuchmann has been with HAL since 2005 and made captain in 2015 after serving several years as one of Prinsendam's two staff captains. He just got done delivering P-dam to German line Phoenix Reisen in Amsterdam on July 1st. He's slated to replace long-time Amsterdam Capt. Fred Eversen as one of her two masters on 14 Sep. Capt. Eversen will be assigned to another, yet unnamed, ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
