We arrived in Amsterdam at approximately 7 am on New year's eve. we awoke to rain and strong winds . After breakfast and letting the rain subside we ventured in to the city . This was our first visit to this part of the world .

We decided to take a cruise on the canals , as if we hadn't seen enough water . it was a very enjoyable way to spend 50 minutes , with a very knowledgeable and amusing Skipper. After lunch we explored more of the city before returning to the Ship.

New year's eve began with a couple of drinks in one of the bars before heading for the main dining room for what turned out to be a lovely meal .
We then headed for the main atrium for the Silent Disco that turned out to be a lot of fun .

As midnight approached we headed for the top deck to see in the New Year accompanied by torrential rain and fireworks over the city. Then on to the Havana lounge for a bit more dancing , it was a great night.
