Maybe for marketing purposes? I thought it interesting that during the dedication ceremonies yesterday that Mr. Ashford had a brief review of the history being the Statendam name. Plus on the video wall, the name Statendam was in bold print with the "Nieuw" in smaller, lighter print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third Pinnacle that comes out in 2021 will have a "Nieuw" in front of her name also, I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for Prinsendam I have been holding out secret hope that the would buy a ship/whatever of a small size and it would be the Prinsendam. 😉 somehow to me, Prinsendam doesn't fit a Pinnacle Class ship but it would be a nice remembrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted February 3, 2019 #169 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It is funny - I have occasionally heard people saying "I'm going on the Nieuw" - now no one will know which Nieuw they're talking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDE Posted February 3, 2019 #170 Share Posted February 3, 2019 For Rotterdam, I assume all the Feb 3 passengers got on? It just looks rather empty. We are leaving next Sunday - is there a reliable place to check online to find out about fog at Tampa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
