Sunday, 29 Dec 2019, southbound Pacific Ocean along the Mexican state of Baja California and passing Isla San Martin. Weather is nice, still a little on the cool side, smooth seas with just a tad of motion

Sunday morning breakfast of champions inside Oosterdan's Pinnacle Grill. The Benedicts were good, just couldn't get the sausage in the last pic to bend upwards into a smile 😜

The very nice gingerbread village display in the Deck 1 Atrium, complete with working train. Oosterdam is one of the four Vistas which had her Atrium Bar, the "Olive Pit," and her Deck 1 to Deck 2 Atrium stairwell removed during her most recent dry-dock

Boarding in March,  thank you for posting and have a great time!  With all the posts about azipod issues lately,  did the recent fix do the trick for the Oosterdam?

The mid-ship Lido Pool on a sea day, always busy on a sea day, especially a holiday cruise with lots of kiddies around

Thanks! Whatever ailed her a couple of weeks ago seems to have been taken care of during the extra day and a half in San Diego

The photos are wonderful.  Is the Indonesian lunch served in the Lido one day on most cruises?  What a treat!

Hope you have a fabulous cruise and great weather.  Happy New Year, Cherie
