Rich, Will you still be on your balcony or at dinner at that time?

I seem to remember that MS Amsterdam World Cruises usually left late and in the dark.

I can remember them leaving after 9 PM one year.

Both are on extended voyages, so I am sure they have a lot of supplies to load.

Volendam dropping all lines so she should be underway soon.

Checking in.  Glad sail away could wait until I got home from work.😁

Volendam is underway.

I have to admit I have only been on one HAL cruise...sad I know.  It was the Volendam RT Sydney back in 2012!  I love the size and have been fantasizing about HAL ever since.  My dream is to be able to do a WC with HAL.

Zoom on Volendam!

[travelnap]

Zoom.

Very exciting today with both leaving on special voyages.

 

We went on a Grand Voyage on Prinsendam and were delayed leaving several hours because a crew member jumped ship.  The sheriff was there making out reports.  We didn't get out of Port Everglades until 10 pm.

Nice zoom!

I remember that.

As an aside...does anyone know when the 2025 WC schedule will be out?

I remember that.

 

It was 2018, the Grand Africa and Mediterranean.  Excellent voyage!
