Isn't that P & O's Arcadia behind Zuiderdam?  The Holland America fifth Vista class ship that was transfered to them.

Yep, that's Arcadia. She was also to become QV, but Cunard went for a model with a stronger hull for trans-At purposes.

This may have been taken on a Mexican Riviera cruise, but this most definitely looks like a photo of a Stephen Card painting. I have never been to the Mexican Riviera but I know I’ve seen this before.

Bermuda, of course. 

I've seen that pink house on the hill hundreds of times. 🤠

Where is Prinsendam?

 

[RetiredMustang]

OK, how about this one -- where is Noordam?

Then so you think it is a Stephen Card painting that was on display on the Veendam in 2014?

That's one of the Mein Schiff's, never good to compare a Dutchman with a German 😉 And that looks like Cartagena, Colombia

 Correct and correct!  #6.   Kudos, sir!

To be honest, I've probably seen that painting on board, but can't recall when/where. 

But I sailed into Hamilton numerous times on other ships, and that house has always been there. 😎

Winner - Funchal, Madeira!   Here is the ship that was moored in front of Prisendam.  For valuable extra points, what was her name when she was a HAL ship?

 

Nice perspective. 

I always admired the "N ships", and seeing this makes me sentimental.

We loved that ship, even with its kinks (the walk-around balcony went through the Lido outside dining, if you wanted to go fore or aft when then show crew was practicing you had to go up or down so as not to disturb them, plus it was in the Piet Hein bar in 1996 where I first met Mama Lou,)

They were the perfect size. 

Very comfortable, and a smooth ride (weather permitting LOL). 

 

Nieuw Amsterdam was my very first trip with HAL, and so began the love affair with that line.

Thanks John! 

 

I have a similar shot somewhere in my files ... just have to dig it up.

This is Captain Card's painting of the Veendam IV which just left HAL. Bit of a different style than the "pink house" Veendam pic

That one I did see on board.

Think it was located in the forward stairtower.

Yes!  We really enjoyed our visit in Wrangell.

Where, oh where, does Amsterdam, and part of her crew who found free WiFi 😉, find herself at?
