— In the Wake editorial
"My parents took me on Nieuw Amsterdam in the early 1990s. I was nine, and the ship felt enormous, the dining room hushed, the brass polished. The waiters folded my napkin into a swan every night. I still have a photograph of me in the Crow's Nest at sunset, holding a Shirley Temple like it was a glass of champagne. Some ships you sail. Some ships you remember."
— Caroline H., guest passenger
