No LED rope replacements? That's lame! Silly CCL. Oh what is their stock right now? 
They're just waiting to see as RCI and NCL have already done this. Surprisingly those Nichia's have been holding up well to the static buildup. Good thing those drain wires were connected exactly as instructed. I hate $50,000 mistakes.
(or as the Chef tells me..."Please be patient! I'm making misteaks as fast as I can!")

Rope lights would be funky...... What are drain wires?
Corny>>>>>> re Chef!!
I thought CCL stock was up last week...??? Or in reality was anything????
I keep reading about the five ships getting a facelift, but never anything about the Oosterdam despite the scheduled dry dock.......... Hmmm
Like the martini menu... must try a Yellow Tulip!

Here we go again... the Oosterdam is never mentioned!
The martini flight includes Holland America Line's signature martini, the Yellow Tulip, a mixture of Grey Goose vodka, lychee juice, pineapple juice, guava juice, coconut cream and fresh lime juice. Other martinis included in the flight are the Peartini, Cosmopolitan, Sunshine Martini, Rum Sundae and High Tide Martini. A house specialty will be a signature Martini for Two with aged Cognac served with a dish of caviar and traditional garnishes. Holland America Line's new martini menu will be featured in the Explorer's Bar on its newest ship, ms Eurodam, in the Pinnacle Grill Bar of its Vista-class ships and in the Ocean Bar on ms Amsterdam, ms Maasdam, ms Rotterdam, ms Ryndam, ms Statendam, ms Veendam, ms Volendam and ms Zaandam.
"We are constantly exploring new and inventive ways to enhance our onboard offerings be that entertainment, culinary or with innovative cocktails," said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs. "The martini menu offers a wide variety of imaginative, sophisticated cocktails that will appeal to our guests."
Launched as a precursor to the highly anticipated Martinis that will be a part of the upcoming Mix specialty theme bar area, Holland America Line's new martini menu was inspired to infuse a new splash of sophistication to its already popular bars and lounges. Mix incorporates three specialty theme bars -- Martinis, Champagne, and Spirits & Ales. These enhancements are part of a new $200-million Signature of Excellence upgrade to ms Statendam, ms Maasdam, ms Ryndam, ms Veendam and ms Rotterdam.

I know it's some jargon but I was being sarcastic. Drain wires are required on overhead light ropes because of the tremendous static potential that can be realized. Heck an isolated radiator can measure 50k volts easy on a breezy sunny day. A malfunctioning DC ground on a gamma matched radiator can arc across the insulator with a nice report. It's not amusing to the tower operator if they're nearby. I've been zapped in my ribs with 200k of potential from a vacuum line with a floating ground! Electrostatics is a powerful phenomenon! Heck it's the main engine that powers lightning for crying out loud.

But what about the martini menu????
Hell they can throw a few rope lights around the bar, but I want to see the new martini menu on the Oosterdam!

LOL this was outdoor stuff. (The line that runs at the top of the ship) Indoors it's not nearly as restrictive providing nobody trips over it! (unless they call themselves AFT CABIN)
I'm sure it's not hard to get a menu from somewhere...

You might enjoy the book I'm reading The Ice Limit by Preston & Child. Interesting electrical phenomenon.
