Nice video from the arrival of the ZAANDAM in Southampton. A few weeks ago I saw her still in the Netherlands. Now she comes to Southampton:-) Thumbs up. Greeting by Unimedien.

Thanks for the info Steve, Don the Canadian with the cruise sales company over the pond has put a blog out yesterday saying he has been told crew has been recalled and contracts issued without naming the company.

Hello Steve seemed like lovely morning. Heard you had rain and almost gale force winds couple of days ago, Zaandam quite small ship compared to others. Take care. Regards Lynne xx

Looks a bit more like a ship than the modern apartment blocks.

Hey well done again Steve now we have 3 on UK shores do you know if she is joining her sister ships at Torbay ?

[@SteveCarrett]

Hi Raymond she might join her sister ships in Torbay so not entirely sure where she will be heading to after she leaves Southampton. Another Holland America Ship the Nieuw Statendam is list to visit Southampton on the 15th Oct so l shall keep my eye on that one as well.

@@vpatilsharma More suitable conditions in the English Channel. This time of year the North Sea begins to get very rough.
