Aboard Eurodam Captain Jonathan Mercer We are in Willemstad, Curacao, today and a beautiful day it is, too. I, like many of my associates, find entering this narrow ‘cut’ of a harbour to be one that concentrates the mind, one can almost feel the tension on the bridge when taking this ship, (or any other… read more of “Captain’s…”
Hello Eurodam, We have a great time Dec. 13-20, despite the rocky ride initially. Food is great and service is better than what we used to have. Little details really count: The silverware in dinning room. Lemonade and chilled towel for guests coming back from shore (didn’t see that even for the Queen Mary’s guests!)… read more of “Eurodam Postcard…”
We sailed on the Eurodam Nov. 15-22, 2008, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We reaffirmed our wedding vows on Nov. 16. We are still enjoying the wonderful memories of the journey. Thank You, David & Peggy Best

Captain Mercer said we experienced the… read more of “Postcards from the…”
Ken Edmier of Leesburg, Ga., sent us some photos of the festivities on board Eurodam Dec. 25, along with this note: Christmas morning on the Eurodam included the cruise director and entertainers leading in singing Christmas carols. The carols were interrupted by the Captain letting us know that radar had picked up an unknown object… read more of “Christmas Morning…”
Aboard Eurodam We have had a lovely Christmas. Yesterday, the 24th, we were docked in a windy Philipsburg, St. Maarten. There were five big cruise ships in and it was consequently very busy. The large swell was rolling into the bay despite the headland which protects the harbour and we had put additional mooring lines… read more of “Captain’s…”
