The Happy Wanderer---tackles the Noordam!

[RuthC]

It's been well-posted that I like small ships and cold-weather ports. So, I'm sitting on the Vista-class ship Noordam getting ready to head to the Caribbean asking "what am I doing here! :eek: ". I'm making plans to have a good time, thank you very much! That's what! :)

When I attended the Mariners Party in Boston I thought the Noordam a beautiful ship, had a blast!, and longed to be on a cruise. A few days later my good friend and partner in :D longtimecruiser had the same reaction---but she took the iniative to actually book and told me to com'on along. Hay---that's what friends are for. ;)

If the Internet stays up I'll be posting of my adventures as usual, and as usual I want you to come along for the ride.

Ready for some fun? Then let's sail!

Have a GREAT trip! And maybe, just maybe, the good Ruth's edict of smaller ships & cooler climes will be fading away....

 

Smooth sailing & dark chocolate!!! :D

The ship will stay intact if they keep Ruth supplied with chocolate! If they try to hide the chocolate, Ruth will tear that ship apart looking for it!:D

Bless you, Ruth. I enjoyed watching on the webcam as the Noordam backed out and then departed. :) What memories that brought to mind!

 

Have a blessed, safe, and VERY enjoyable cruise aboard the lovely Noordam.
