sailingdutchy Posted July 15, 2019 #726 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi Copper John , could you tell me please where the Westerdam is between Jan 4 2020 and Jan 16 2020 . Is she in dry dock or possibly on a charter from Singapore ? We will board her on the 16th of January and were wondering why there is a gap in the schedule the 12 days before we get on board. Greetings from Canada . Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoshipmate Posted July 17, 2019 #734 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Copper10-8. Hello again, we are on the Amsterdam starting July 29 for 28 days. I think I remember you mentioning a favorite Mexican restaurant in Juneau, but have no clue if that's correct! It's certainly possible I may be wrong. BTW, I read on captain Alberts blog about the replacement captain for our voyage. Any thoughts, comments as I didn't recognize his name. Thanks as always.

Doug The very good Mexican restaurant in Juneau is called "El Sombrero", walking distance from the ship (make a left turn around the Red Dog Saloon, and head up Franklin Street for a block). Newly promoted A'dam Captain Daniel Bolton is a very competent mariner and a very nice guy! Enjoy your voyage to Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoshipmate Posted July 18, 2019 #736 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thank you for your reply. We will def make a visit to the sombrero, maybe 2! Look forward to sailing with a captain new to us, always a treat to be in Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvteaching Posted August 8, 2019 #747 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi Copper, We're on the Amsterdam on Monday. I remember you mentioning earlier that our captain is Captain Bolton but what can you tell me about the other officers? Thank you! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandThyme Posted August 8, 2019 #748 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Copper, do you ever get tired of these eternal questions? Just in case you don't, what can you tell me about who the officers will be on Maasdam for my Sept. 26-Oct. 17 voyage? I might be the only person here who cares about the Housekeeping Manager, but could you include that, if possible? Thanks so much in advance! A more general question - I was on the 89 day grand Asia on Amsterdam last fall and would love to see some of that crew again. Do crew members tend to stay with one ship, or might I find some of those same folks on Maasdam now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
