Heard on the Deck

Prinsendam wins kudos

Holland America’s Prinsendam was praised by world cruisers, according to the “Ocean & Cruise News.” The Prinsendam scored first place in the itinerary and shore excursion categories. They also placed 15th out of 25 ships in the overall category, a summation of all categories. I enjoyed a South American cruise on the Prinsendam in 2009 and I agree with those cruisers’ opinion. The ship is medium size, which means it’s perfect for sailing up the Amazon River and skirting icebergs in Antarctica alleys, and fjords of Chile. The food was excellent during the trip and the Crow’s Nest was the best place for happy hour. The dance hosts were great, too. Congrats to the Prinsendam!

Spring is in the air

No one entered my contest, “Where in the world did Janet Go?” So I deleted it and dropped the idea. Guess there’s no one out there after all.

 This is the time of year we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, spring, Daylight Savings Time, and robins’ chirping. Hope you all have big plans for 2010. Include a cruise to some “foreign” land in your plans–it’s an eye-opening experience and you’ll find that everyone around the world have the same needs, hopes, and loves. Happy New Year to you all. If anyone’s out there, please let me know. Thanks, Janet
