Hi Folks, My girl friend, lover, sweetheart, ",tormentor" and most of all my wonderful wife and I will be on the Zuiderdam on 7/9/05 for the E. Caribbean. We sailed on "her" the first summer that she was "born". We had a very good cruise and liked "her" very much, even though there were a number of negative comments about her at first. Our countdown clock at this minute says 3 weeks,5 days,9hours,54 minutes, and 25-24-23-seconds to go.... This is our 6th cruise and we love cruyising-who doesn't (except those who have never cruised ) Waiting for our doc's to arrive !! We cruised with Costa(Mediterranea) last January. Guess what we like her too!! Take care, Knarf-Frank
