| Our ship, the Zuiderdam |
Yesterday Dave and I arrived home from our 10 day Panama Canal cruise on the cruise line that caters to us oldies, Holland America. Yes, there were younger people aboard but the activities are directed primarily to mature folks. But, yes, our ship, the Zuiderdam, did have twelve bars that rocked throughout the night.
I guess. We were always in bed by 10.
Dave had his photo taken the first day with a man and his son from Holland. He thought it could represent the cruise line.

hence Holland-America |
As usual, the shows were spectacular, the staff bent over backwards to please and meeting fellow passengers was so very interesting.

| Rudy's Apple and orange bird |
The Ocean bar was our favorite. We could see the singer and her back ups across the way but we were far enough from them to share conversations with fellow travellers from around the world. We arrived most afternoons around 4 pm to play cribbage and have a glass of wine.

| Cess and Rudy |
Our waiter, Rudy, was concerned that we weren't eating the Hors d'Oeuvres so one afternoon he carved up an elaborate orange and apple masterpiece just for us!
Yesterday morning we woke up before daylight in the harbor in Fort Lauderdale, after traveling two days straight from Costa Rica. The ship parked right beside us, after seeing nothing but ocean for two days, was spectacular!
