Rare cruiseny4life Posted August 28 #102 Share Posted August 28 48 minutes ago, LAFFNVEGAS said: Cruising Endicott Arm has been beautiful, we are almost to Dawes Glacier. We ate breakfast in the Main Dining Room being able to look out at the beautiful fjords and waterfalls.(The above note is from earlier when we’re having breakfast) Unfortunately we were not able to get up close to Dawes Glacier, it was so fogged in but the Captain turned the ship so that Port side have over 20 minutes facing that direction. Oddly for about three minutes I noticed the fog had slightly lifted enough to make out the glacier then it started to roll back in. The Captain is now turning so Starboard side might get a glimpse. Because it was raining earlier they did not open the bow due to safety issues but did open the doors forward on 5, 6 and 7 over looking the bow. Absolutely stunning landscape!! Thanks for sharing the mystical, foggy photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the type of weather I wish we'd have when there, unfortunately I always end up with those rare sunny days. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scooter6139 Posted August 28 #104 Share Posted August 28 (edited) This is so fun, as we were just on Westerdam two weeks ago, which had a large group (800+ folks). We probably would have moved to this cruise if we knew they would be onboard. 🙄 Edited August 28 by scooter6139 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some interesting ones over the years: bell ringing, quilting, even a conservative radio host and his fans, although the name escapes me.

We probably would have moved to this cruise if we knew they would be onboard. 🙄 There were only a few listings of groups on the Westerdam in 2024 on VMax's posts listing charters and groups on board. (see this post:) I copied out the section just for the Westerdam here: Westerdam 09 June 2024 – 07 July 2024 : Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice : Knitting Group 04 August 2024 – 11 August 2024 : Alaska : Focal Point Ministries Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted August 29 Author #107 Share Posted August 29 It’s that time of night for What’s For Dinner? Let me know what you would order. Since it’s the night of the Orange Party , it is also Dutch Night in the Dining Room. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted August 29 #108 Share Posted August 29 Our dinner is in the oven but wish I was able to order Alaskan Dover Sole and Bosche bol. And, a glass of red wine. When it says "Alaskan" does that mean it has not been frozen? Thank you letting us join you for dinner. Cherie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted August 29 #110 Share Posted August 29 So I think the Bay Shrimp Cocktail, the Bami Goring and all the deserts look great although the Bosche Bol and Tompouse both seem like good choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may know it as a "vanilla slice" or "Napoleon". I'm sure there are subtle differences but they're all very similar. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted August 29 #120 Share Posted August 29 My lovely wife will have the Pea Soup, the Alaska Salmon (with some changes to the sides) and finish with the Peach Crisp. A capacino with Bailey's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
