DeepWaterMariner Posted June 2, 2018 #477 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Is Captain Mercer still with HAL? He was the captain of this years world cruise and is supposed to be back for next years world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted June 2, 2018 #478 Share Posted June 2, 2018 When in June HM changes on 10th from then on you have the best HM we have ever met - you will not be disappointed And, who, is the best HM you ever met? I could list a few who are great :) But won't :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Goalie Posted June 9, 2018 #480 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Does anyone have an idea who will be the launch Captain on Nieuw Statendam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted June 9, 2018 #481 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Does anyone have an idea who will be the launch Captain on Nieuw Statendam? I've seen a few posts saying that it might be Darin Bowland but I don't know if that is correct. It might make sense as he is the relief captain on the Koningsdam, so already is familiar with the Pinnacle class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare boards Posted June 9, 2018 #482 Share Posted June 9, 2018 We were hoping Darin Bowland would be still on the Koningsdam for our Oct. - Nov. cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted June 10, 2018 #483 Share Posted June 10, 2018 We were hoping Darin Bowland would be still on the Koningsdam for our Oct. - Nov. cruise. If you go to Captain Albert's blog, he has a section where he puts the captains schedules. It looks like your cruise will have a Captain Noel O'Driscoll. I keep looking for the take out captain on the Nieuw Statendam but it's not posted anywhere I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innlady1 Posted June 30, 2018 #488 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Does anyone have an idea who will be the launch Captain on Nieuw Statendam? We were told while on the Veendam in May that Noel O’Driscoll (Veendam captain for our cruise) would be leaving June 2 and heading for the Nieuw Statendam.

Thanks very much for the information! I really like both of those captains! I assume that Captan Robert Schuchmann is actually Captain Jeroen Schuchmann. We have sailed with him twice on the PRDM. We are sorry, though, that we will miss Captain Dag by just a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingdutchy Posted November 28, 2018 #500 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hello John ( Copper10-8 ) , I have a different kind of question that I have been toying with for a little bit . I believe the current Captain on the Volendam Capt Chris Turner is on his last stint as a Holland America Captain and is going into his retirement , the date I have heard from himself was January 2019 but that was about a year ago . Could you tell me if it is possible to send him our Best Wishes in his retirement . We have cruised with him on 4 different ships in very different regions and had some nice chats with him and a couple of very special Captains Dinners ! What do you think would be the best way to reach him , we will be on the Premier Cruise of the Nieuw Statendam next week and were wondering if we could drop a card at the front office or send it to Seattle . Any suggestions ? Thank you very much in advance . Always appreciate the wealth of information that you are able and willing to provide us with .
