Rotterdam departure
After leaving Rotterdam behind, our ship had a lifeboat drill that
interrupted our rubbernecking at the rails.
The ms Rotterdam's personnel asked women and children to stand near the
lifeboats,
while men were told to stay back against the bulkheads. (When abandoning
ship--or, more benignly, when staging lifeboat drills--Holland America Line
still observes the tradition of "women and children first.")
