I am in the background of a few of your shots.... the sail away from SD and the Hula/ukulele show. fun to see your video, and look for a chance to see myself! 🙂Thank you for sharing!

Aloha from a fellow passenger! I recognize several people in your still photos and will invite them to your channel. Looking forward to watching all your videos on our amazing stops. Only suggestion would be to fix your microphone... The music quality is great, but talking sounds like you need a new mic. Otherwise, awesome video! Looking forward to seeing all of them 🙂 I would also love to sign up to win the pearl, as mine did not make it home :-(

And you're off! Well I guess you're off the ship now butI'm a tad late catching up with you, having just barely ended my Crystal adventure, but I'll be following along each episode. So far your journey looked comfortable. Good views of the ship and lots of activities for sea days! Thanks for the introduction of the ship. How many episodes will you have? I'll be following. 👍❤

I’m looking at this same routing in 2025 0n Zaandam and i look forward to follow your review. My concern is the size and stability of Zaandam on a Pacific crossing but love HAL’s South Pacific itineraries. Safe travels

We'll be in Raiatea, French Polynesia tomorrow, November 5... and so far, the seas have been very smooth and calm - no issues. Many ports that we've visited won't accommodate larger cruise ships -- the Zaandam has been a perfect size... From what I hear, the cabins on the 2025 cruise are selling quickly! Thanks for following us on our adventure!

@ Checking in on your cruise experience this week. I have reserved cabin on the 2025. Read comments regarding poor air conditioning in cabins on Zaandam. From Texas so we love our AC. What’s your experience.

@@fabio-go3976 We’ve found the A/C in our cabin and the public areas to be cold, sometimes too cold- except when the sun shines directly in the window… then it does get warm. WiFi has been an issue, but that’s supposed to be fixed when the ship is in dry dock in early 2025. You should have practically a new ship when you sail. Hoping to release a new episode next week- if the WiFi cooperates.

To me the Lotus Garden was a good variety of Asian food similar to Shanghai restaurant on another NCL ship complimentary food. Small portions made super fast and the place was always packed so you couldn't get too much to feel full. It was like eating in a rushed school cafeteria. Made me wonder if the food was pre-made.

I have been to Halifax NS I think it was around 1982 when my US Navy ship docked in Portland Maine and several of the crew took the ferry over to Halifax and we were lucky that the seafood shacks on the pier were open and after our tour of the fort we stopped in a lobster seafood shack that had $25 AYCE lobster with many sides. Later, we went into town and checked out the many street stores with numerous item for sale then as it got near sunset we stopped in a bar which was similar to the TV program CHEERS bar with numerous friendly local folks. Then took the ferry back to Portland and watched the lobstermen at the port packing lobsters for shipping out. A very nice visit.

Trying local specialty foods can be a flip of the coin. As you found out with that shark. Can't wait to hear about the Main Dining rooms. I still won't go to iceland or Alaska as I've lived in Florida many years. The cold would be tough to endure.

The PREMIUM beverage pkg IS the standard drink pkg. It is the PREMIUM PLUS pkg that covers Starbucks, energy drinks, and water containers. The FAS PLUS pkg goes one better with top shelf Alcohol.
