Roll Call Zuiderdam October 27, 2007

Thanks Rick...I found tanning lamps...I normally put them over our flowers...but I guess you can change the lightbulbs in your Love Shaks.... he he he!

 

Actually I'm getting really excited!!! Danny's on his way, I have to hose to myself to get everything done and then 2 weeks vacation!

My god...just looked in the mirror...I'm tooooooooooooo blond!

[NYCBeach]

Hose away! It is exciting but I have so much work to get done before I can leave here without a guilty conscience. And who wants to feel guilty on vacation? Let's hope we can figure something out in the Pinnacle. I can't find my receipt for the nights I pre-booked. Guess I'll have to go to Amex and pull down my statement. TTYL, Rick.

[NYCBeach]

Marcus, there is no such thing as tooooooooooooooo blond. There is very blond or blondissimmo as we say in Italian.

Dutch night - we just didn't really care for the food offered that night, so we thought it might be a good time to try the Pinnacle Grille.

I think we will wait til we get on board to book it...

I found a recent menu from Dutch night, see below

 

Did I use too much self tanner?

 

Starters:

Dutch Sailor's Fruit Cocktail with Yukon Whiskey

Quenelles Buffalo Mozzarella

Baked Macaroni with Ham and Chese

Dutch Pea Soup with Smoked Pork

Alaskan Fisherman's Pot

Chiffonade of Bibb Lettuce with Tuna

 

Entrees:

 

Oriental Chicken Salad

Pan Sauteed Alaskan Sole Fillet

Nasi Goreng Rijsttafel - Indonesian fried rice feast with juicy pork sate, spicy chicken drumstick, beef Sumatra, scallions and julienne of omelet. Served with pickeled cucumber, crisp prawn crackers and crisp-creamy fried banana.

Dutch Favorite - Brisket of Beef with Hodge Podge

Southwestern Style Cheese Manicotti

Hey, Matt, I think the eyebrow pencil was the problem, not the self tanner. Thanks for the Dutch night menu. I was wondering whether they'd have a Rijsttafel -- which I actually like-- but I imagined it to be more of a lunch than a dinner menu. I understand the Asian food in the Lido is very good. I am a big fan of Asian food. We have so much really great Asian food in New York that sometimes it's hard to beat. I wonder if the chef on Zuiderdam is Indonesian as well. That would likely mean he'd do it really well. We had an Indonesian chef on Regent and his food was superb--but so was everything on Regent. TTYL Rick.

LOL...the pic of you is wonderful! There is never a too much of self tanner! Just your hair is in defenite need of highlights! LOL

 

I just think...if I should take my formal outfit with me...picture in the attachement!

[NYCBeach]

It's just the contrast between your self tanner and your haircolor that makes you look so very blond. Love the outfit! Don't tell me that's Danny in the background! BTW do we all blond our hair? At least three of us seem to....

IT WAS A REAL TAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NYCBeach]

Almost to the moment...are we all excited?

[frequent cruiser jock]

We are extremely excited!

 

By the way...do we want to set up a time and meeting point for the 1st night on the ship? Would be nice to meet you all....finally! We have late upper dining at 8pm...as far as I know...LOL!

[NYCBeach]

I would love to meet you. I have requested the same dinner seating and I also requested a table for one (good luck on that request). I'd be happy to get together for a drink before or after. My cabin number is 8084 and my full name is Richard Mathews. And, no, I won't have too much luggage! I am currently downloading music on to my I-Pod. Really looking forward to the trip. All best, Rick.

That would be wonderful! We are in 7066, Marcus & Danny! I will e-mail Lynn and Matt and ask them, if they want to joy in as well!

 

Better we e-mail, too! munichmarcus@yahoo.com!

 

Or should we meet for sail away and open a bottle of "good stuff bubbly"?

 

King Marcus

[NYCBeach]

Whatever works best for everyone. I am hoping we will all become fast friends and have some great times together. Of course, I know you will all want time alone as do I! TTYL Marcus, I've put your cabin nubmer in my book.

[frequent cruiser jock]

What do you think about a little refreshment "Canape's and Champagne" right after boat drill in our cabin...then we take off for the sail away on the aft pool!

[NYCBeach]

That sounds like great fun! I would love to do that.

 

Rick

[frequent cruiser jock]

But don't forgett your battery opperated "Vibrator" so you can really relax after a long day of shopping....I can not hold myself!

 

I will e-mail cruisebax...then we set it as a canape & champagne "Welcome Aboard", right after boat drill in our Suite...then we go for the sail away to the aft pool...with the rest of the Champagne!

[NYCBeach]

Neat! Hope you hear back from them.

[frequent cruiser jock]

At 1st I must send it...I just got home from dinner! Now it is time for "Desperate Housewifes"...just my neighborhood!

[frequent cruiser jock]

E-mail...sent!

[frequent cruiser jock]

OK...we meet after boat drill in our Suite! Lynn, Matt & Rick...finally it is going to be the time, to put faces to the names!!! I'm packing!!!

[NYCBeach]

I got everything ready to go into the suitcase. I look forward to meeting all of you. See you on Saturday.

Rick

 

YUCK...I guess we will have 4 big suitcases with us! Just the swimming shorts for Danny is a suitcase...god thanks my Speedos don't take much space!

 

I can not wait either...

 

See you all soon!

[NYCBeach]

Danny's got to be like me. I've packed a different swimsuit for everyday.

I always overpack. I like to have options, don't you?

[frequent cruiser jock]

I love to have options, too...but do not like to schlepp them around!
