Rare Scrapnana Posted January 4, 2017 #26 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Checking in on a sunny cold day in Memphis. Your cold weather is coming our way. It is 61 here today, 30s tomorrow.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted January 4, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Webcam has better view of Amsterdam than I have - you can see the bow and lines. Not that that will help at 10 pm at night. :D With the Zuiderdam I have essentially the same view as the camera, don't think the hotel can manage a close-up for me. ;) Are you going home before your next cruise?

Rare rafinmd Posted January 4, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Scrapnana, I think you are leaving on Amsterdam's next World Cruise. I'm on her next Grand Voyage. Next 2 times Amsterdam embarks on a big cruise one of us will be on board. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted January 4, 2017 #29 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Are you going home before your next cruise? Yes, tomorrow morning. I'll be gone 33 days on that particular trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time she leaves from Ft Lauderdale we will be on her for two of our dream cruises - Panama and Alaska!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted January 4, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Roy, have you been on any ships that you would not sail on again? Not really. There are a few that are quite on the bottom of my list but I would again under the right conditions: Silver Whisper - The equivalent of Crystal in extras, the equivalent of Carnival in basics Celebrity Solstice (or any Celebrity) - I said very unlikely after my first Celebrity but then my nephew got married on Summit. I also booked Infinity for my return from South America this year but switched to Zaandam as soon as the itinerary was published. Also near the bottom of my list is Anthem OTS and I'm unlikely to sail any NCL ship that doesn't offer studio cabins (but never say never).

colbe Posted January 4, 2017 #42 Share Posted January 4, 2017 First time on the Amsterdam? I have 27 wonderful days on her. Yes this will be our first time on her. We loved our Baltic trip on the Prinsendam, so I am expecting that this cruise will be just as good on a small ship. Panama and Alaska sounds great. Have you been through the canal before? This will be my first time for both parts of the cruise. My DH came through the canal when he emigrated to NZ. This will also be my first trip to Florida.

I made my first trip there last May. Although I could not live there the sights were breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
