Hey Ben,
No problem. If it's there, I will definitely take some pictures for you.

There has been some discussion as to whether it's actually onboard or not. Some previous passengers have tried to find it unsuccessfully. HAL may still be framing it or making some type of preparation. I think it's supposed to be in the lobby when it does make it's way onboard.

Thanks Ernie

I have no idea of the wall is on board Roland (my friend a/b) have not yet mailed my back regarding the wall. I hope it's a/b.

Greetings Ben.

Thanks. I am looking forward to a week off work! LOL Frankly I would have been happy on just about any ship, including EPIC. My partner not so much. He will be much happier on NIEUW AMSTERDAM. I'm expecting a very quiet week of relaxation, which is not such a bad thing. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time for taking pictures, and hopefully the ship is appealing enough that I actually want to take pictures.

Ben,
I'm afraid I could not find that signature wall, and I went everywhere on the ship.

Sorry!
