Apart from entitled fellow cruisers, it seems like you had a lovely cruise! Happy continued cruising!

I agree with your assessment of the walkers and scooters on the Volendam. I was nearly run over by a scooter while conversing with friends as I started to take one step backwards and was rudely yelled at by some guy telling me to “watch out!” I must have had those eyes in the back of my head closed.
