Nieuw Amsterdam: Canaletto Food Tour (Holland America)
We sailed on the Holland America Niuew Amsterdam for seven nights in March 2024. During our cruise, we enjoyed a nice dinner at Canaletto, the ship’s specialty dining Italian restaurant. The restaurant was located on Deck 9 Midship, in the forward part of the Lido Market buffet, and served a variety of Italian classics for dinner.

    WOW I am so impressed with how far Gage has come...he is the son of a cousin. Steve Griffin & Tommi Griffin have done an amazing job raising their children...Gage is definitely a people person & this job suits him so well.. What a great interview....My philosophy is..." if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life" with that said Gage Griffin does not work he enjoys life with people.

He was so knowledgeable about what was happening with his work and his team and how he handled the issues that he faced during his career and how he had to deal with the challenges of being a leader for the company and how he felt about the company. What he loved about the job and how it didn’t feel like a job. And I loved how at the end he talked about his mother and his father and his sister and his brother. He kept me very interested throughout and wanting to travel.

    Here's why I think about living in NB, NS, or pretty much anywhere east of Quebec. There was a photo in this video and in that photo there was a sign that read: Don't have time for breakfast? Try our breakfast sandwiches or wraps!. That sign got me thinking about breakfast. My city is all breakfast wraps and sandwiches already, wait, what is breakfast, if not breakfast sandwiches and wraps? Then I remembered, breakfast was a plate of at least a couple different foods. It also might have come with cold AND hot beverages. It might have been so involved as to also have a bowl before that plate with some grains and a cold liquid. Then I missed breakfast and realize I hadn't even grieved over the passing of breakfast for this luke-warm square or cylinder version of a meal we pass for breakfast now,..here. That's why I think about living in NB, NS, or pretty much anywhere east of Quebec.

    She was my second cruise at age 8. She was a freakin beauty over the Fantasy I first went on the year before. I loved her exterior sharp edgy shape. Like a Cadillac of the seas. The interior hits hard. I was in camp carnival and I went on the ship 5 years later and the same lady actually recognized me as I saw her and was questioning saying hey. (I had ADHD and my mom was obsessive over food rules like Red Dye 40) I’m sure my mom gave her a lasting impression. I’m upset they “upgraded” her interior to be absolutely boring. It’s like a church instead of a pallace

    How long is the bus ride from St. George’s to Tom Moore jungle? And how long from Tom Moore to Hamilton by bus? Trying to plan times to get ferry back to dock yard..

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 18 днів тому

      Based on our photos, the bus ride from St. George's to Blue Hole Park (Tom Moore's Jungle) took about 10 minutes. And the bus from there to the Hamilton Ferry area took about 25-30 minutes. As with all bus systems, make sure you give yourself plenty of time for delays, traffic, etc. Hope this helps!

      The beach area itself doesn't have a ton of space. You see the majority of the beach area at 7:19 in the video. However, within Church Bay Park, there are a number of large, open, grassy areas that you could lay down a blanket for a picnic lunch. There were also a couple of picnic tables, but there are so few of those that you probably can't count on one being available when you visit. Hope this helps!

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 22 дні тому

      Looking back at our photos, it was roughly an hour between the delivery of starters and the delivery of desserts for each restaurant, so if you allowed 1.5 - 2 hours total, you'll probably be safe. Our time at Cagney's was much shorter because of our event reservations. Also, you might want to give yourself a bit of extra time for Moderno to ensure you have enough opportunity to try all the cuts of meat.

The big changes since our Deck-by-Deck video are: America's Test Kitchen/BB Kings is now Rolling Stone Lounge, the Gallery Bar seating area was converted into more Casino space, Lincoln Center Stage is mostly an art auction space, the Digital Workshop is now the Portrait Studio, the Tasman Room/Screening Room is now a Library, part of the Kids Club is now High Score and available to everyone in the evenings, and part of Tamarind was converted into Morimoto by Sea. Finally, there were a number of accessibility modifications added throughout the ship (restrooms, bar spaces, etc.).
