MV MAASDAM




While we were picnicking on Shelter Island the other afternoon, our ship journalist friend Peter Knego was aboard the Maasdam.  If you have Facebook, you can enjoy the cabins, suites, decks, and public rooms with him.  We really loved these small HAL ships…especially the library. 

After photographing the ship, he moved to Harbor Island for photos of the ship as she left.

    3. Snatches of reading completes my day! Reading Dana Stabenow's "A Cold Blooded Business". http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-425-14173-1 I've never been on a cruise, but I shared your post with my niece and she gave me other bits of information about cruises (she's been on several). I especially liked the "Wednesday" mat in the elevator. My niece commented that being on a cruise was like being in Vegas -- no clocks so you never know what day or time it is. And all of the bars!!! Wow... I asked her if everyone stayed snookered most of the day and she said some people do... not this child!! LOL (nor you or G!) I guess they're like a floating city when they get as big as the Holland America. Amazing... Hugs to you both!
