Bet ya $$ the guy trying to call her wants to complain

[Vict0riann]

Farewell, Nieuw Amsterdam.  Is she heading away now, and not going to the Grand Bahama Bank?  Has she already collected crew to take home?

Brought tears to my eyes.....

Even longer than the ones Cpt van Eerten does under the 'Lions Gate bridge' in Vancouver.

Thank you Captain and Nieuw Amsterdam.  You win the longest toot of the year!  Wishing you and your crew the best.

Repat crew transfer to Nieuw A. and some of the other "ferry" ships will take place via tenders in the next couple of days off the Bahamas

[rafinmd]

A couple of Love Boat toots from the Regal, probably the last of the season.

Thanks...  I guess we will be able to see the little tender "dots" in the water!

Hi Roy; you were correct! After taking on various HAL Group crew via tender in the Bahamas during the next couple of days, Nieuw A, on what is now known as her "Covid Crew Charter (CCC)," will be heading for Cape of Good Hope and then to Durban, S.A. for a stop similar to what Amsterdam did recently. Also like Amsterdam, she will then be headed eastbound in the Indian Ocean, with stops in Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Singapore and Manilla
