Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Great ideas here. We love eating dinner in the Main Dining Room, and do not tire of their good food. Ask, if you want something not on the menu. The ms Noordam is a lovely ship with the full promenade all around the ship, offering all of the walking exercise that you want. I always wish that I could stay on the ship longer. You will probably love this long voyage. Barbara
  2. Our cups overflow with good information. Thank you again. Barbara
  3. Thank you so much, AFNavigator. There are so many differences between the ships, that your experience is what I trust. Barbara
  4. I requested early fixed dining 5:30pm at a table for six, when I sailed alone. Two couples also shared the table, and we became like family on that long cruise. You could also request late fixed dining. There was a large round table for solos to enjoy lunch together, more than once. You will find other solo passengers. Barbara
  5. I thought of another question, since you were there last year. πŸ™‚ How many electrical outlets do you remember? Were there USB ports on the nightstands? Maybe two outlets on the desk?? Maybe one 110 v and one 220 v European plug??? Might the bathroom have an outlet for a night light???? Any hidden extra outlets anywhere? Thank you so much again. Barbara
  6. Thank you, AFNavigator. Your words mean the world to me. Some of our family have never been on a cruise ship. Young mothers are very protective. Photos here have answered questions. Showers will be fine. I had spent hours googling and researching the internet. All I had was a dry bone. The HAL deck plans are accurate only as far as they go. No details at all about the bunks. Recommended websites showed bathtubs still in our rooms, which destroyed credibility. No photos of the bunks. I love research, but I was going in circles. All that I found was a photo of one fellow who had hit his head on the lowered bunk, and another of a bunk in what looked like the far end of an inside room? The room layouts did not agree with the HAL deck plans for our rooms. Those photos created more questions than answers. I hoped that by reaching out to everyone in Cruise Critic, the truth would surface. I was not disappointed. Accurate bunk bed photos and good information have been generously shared. I am deeply grateful. Barbara
  7. Thank you also, 1025cruise, for trying to help me. I really appreciate it. Barbara
  8. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, cruisingrob21, crystalspin, and Henk 123. It was our good Travel Agent, who said, "pull from the side wall above the sofa." Where are "all of the photos of quads on Main Deck?" Now we have a better idea what to expect. Barbara
  9. Thank you. Do you know if they interfere with sitting on the sofa? Do they have a rail and a ladder like the bunks from the ceiling? Barbara
  10. 1005 is one of the cabin numbers, and your link showed a photo. However, the room diagram shows beds under the window. The photo has beds on the side wall, so I do not trust that photo, even though it shows a cabinet above the sofa. That same cabinet shows on a photo of our room 1002 (not a quad) which has no bunk bed. It is confusing. Barbara
  11. Thank you, but I find no bunk bed information. Barbara
  12. Our family cruise on ms Eurodam will have quad rooms with bunks that "pull from side wall above the sofa." We have heard of the drop down from the ceiling bunks, but wonder what these wall bunks are. What can you tell us about them? Does anyone have photos??? Thank you so much. Barbara
  13. Did you see the emus in Exmouth? Barbara
  14. Possibly a group of you would have better luck getting a private tour operator to agree to your arrival time??? Maybe you could find a taxi? We enjoyed Ushuaia on foot, visiting the old prison, eating lunch, and strolling through the downtown. Nice shopping and local dancers near the port. Good luck. Barbara
