Our long planned, much anticipated, cruise aboard the Elegant Explorer Prinsendam recently came to an end. While it's all still fresh in my mind and my heart, I'll try to encapsulate what was for us a most magnificent experience. Of course there were glitches here and there, but I try to be fair and forgiving about the little things and come away with our overall experience.

As our CD, Peter, said Don't let one incident affect your entire experience. The fact that the Ice Cream Bar was a bit late in opening one night is just not going to upset me. First and foremost, I commend our wonderful, friendly, accessible Captain Christopher M. Turner who was always there with the most amazing smile on the high seas. He plowed us through some very troublesome swells at sea that had even some the most stalwart and long sailing passengers crying for mercy. He explained this was a very different kind of sea than normal roughness. As for me, at night it lulled me to sleep and during the day I marveled that I wasn't sick!

Captain Turner previously sailed Windstar Cruises and only recently transferred to HAL to sail on the big ships. He told me that my personal much loved Wind Song (now resting on the ocean floor of the Sea of the Moon) was his favorite ship so I consider us friends now.
