Ships and their flags? The days of skull-and-crossbones are long behind us…but for the occasional <\/span>Johnny Depp<\/a> movie. Cruise ships aren't identified so much by the flags they fly any more, although all of them fly flags, usually of the country in which they're registered. <\/span><\/p>\n

For Holland America<\/a> ships, that would be the flag of The Netherlands. That figures, doesn't it?<\/span><\/p>\n

This weekend, not so much. This weekend, Holland America ships in the Caribbean will (also) be flying the 12th Man Flag<\/i>. Why, you ask, would ships registered in The <\/span>\"12th\"<\/a>Netherlands be flying the flag associated with one of the teams playing in the Super Bowl<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have to ask, then you don't know that Holland America's head office is in Seattle<\/a>…that the Seahawks<\/a> are underdogs against the Denver Broncos<\/a> on Sunday…and that the 12th Man<\/i> is a tribute to Seattle's fans, noisy enough to be considered as influential as a 12th man in a game which plays only 11. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of them will be waving the flags in East Rutherford, New Jersey at 6 p.m. (EST) on Sunday…if they're not frozen stiff. And some cruisers will likely be watching the 12th Man Flag<\/i> flap in the breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the only thing frozen will be the ice cubes in their drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n
