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.

“A perfect day on a spotless ship: Holland America Line’s MV MAASDAM in San Diego.

MaritimeMatters added 26 new photos which Prosebox won’t take from Facebook. I would check my facebook feed or follow Peter Knego on his.

My parents cruised to Alaska on the Noordam years ago.

You went to two classes yesterday when you haven't been feeling great lately? You work hard for your health.

Not voluntarily. LOL I want to keep what I have which is pretty worn out.

I want to go on a cruise :-) !

Those ships are so tall, it seems to defy engineering as to how they remain upright and not tip over!
I have never been on a real cruise - it's on my bucket list.
