Life
aboard a Holland America ship is relaxing, entertaining, and quite

all ships. |

| Our
wonderful waiter Teguh. He is from Indonesia and has been with Holland
America for 8 years. He plans to work for one more year before "retiring"
to run a restaurant with his wife and family. |
|
| One
of the highlights of every Holland America cruise is the Filipino/Indonesian
crew show. This dance from Bali featured our busboy Carman. |

| Aunt
Jane, Mom, and Dad pose at one of the lavishly decorated tables in
the main dining room, the Rotterdam. The dining room can seat 657
people and hosts two dinner seatings each night to accommodate everyone. |

| An
all-important tender being raised from the water. Many of the ports
we stopped in were too shallow for docking, so tenders were used to
shuttle passengers back and forth to the mainland. |
