Having visited 5 ports in 5 days, we were ready for a few days on board, to enjoy all that the ship has to offer. Here, in no particular order, is a sampler of some of the available activities:
There is always some occasion to celebrate. On Tuesday The Amsterdam was decorated for Mardi Gras. Today, Valentine's Day hearts are everywhere.
But we don't party 24/7. Well, most of us don't. The photo below was taken just before an ecumenical discussion featuring our resident minister, rabbi, and priest. Yes, all three are on board for the entire cruise. Each holds regular services as well as lecturing or leading study groups.
This event attracted an overflow crowd. By popular demand, a return engagement will be scheduled.
This is Debby Bacon, our favorite entertainer. Most evenings after dinner, we head to the piano bar, where Debby sings and plays piano, saxophones, and flute. If you look up her website, don't miss the short video of Debby as a 6 year old amateur contest winner.
Good Morning, Amsterdam! is the name of the ship's daily live talk show.
Hosted by Cruise Director Bruce and Hostess Adele, the show attracts a standing room only audience. Ship's officers and crew members often appear as guests. We learn about the behind the scenes workings of such a big ship, and about the people who choose to live and work on the ship.
More about shipboard activities in future posts. Our next few days will be spent in Sydney. Will let you know what we see and do there.
