You will have to eat those words after the cruise, Charles!
All these years of listening to you saying that will be for naught!

I have been on the following ships. Statendam was my favorite. I didn't
see any old people on any of them. I wonder what the Westerdam will be
like??

Ryndam Rotterdam V Statendam Maasdam
Zuiderdam
Volendam

The bigger question... what will the ship be like with VIKINGS on it...
LOL.

Are you and Jean coming with us?


I forgot to answer your first question...I don't know how HAL will handle
the" youngun Vikings," as they are rather reserved!
;-) And you, (not me) were quite visible on the Liberty of the Seas, Ha! But
I do know you will be wearing Dutch hats one night on the cruise as they
have a *Dutch* night and menu! Maybe there will be more younger passengers
than on the Alaskan and Mediterranean voyages since it will be near
Christmas and in the Caribbean.
So far I have been on the Statendam (2) Ryndam (1), the Volendam (1), and
the Westerdam once right after her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean.

So we'll be able to see where they hide them?

Good... next Halloween we'll have to look for Heineken Hats. Heineken is
Dutch. Like My Cousin Vinny said... "That should make us blend...".

Maybe there will be more younger passengers than on the Alaskan and
Mediterranean voyages since it will be near Christmas and in the
Caribbean.


Sue said the DSM said that the newer ships have a younger crowd than the
older Statendam ships. Wonder if they named the Statendam after Staten
Island?

I think the HAL dynamic may be different with the Vikings than the HAL
you've seen before... LOL.

Maybe we can make that an on-board activity one of the sea days.

HAL provides the Dutch hats...so you don't need to buy any...Everyone in the
dining room gets one!
They are on the table when you arrive for dinner.
