Best wishes to Roy for good health. Your observations, experiences and writings are a treasure. I'm a frequent reader, but infrequent poster. Richard

So much to agree with. You're getting great advice. In Ketchikan I have to add Island Wings seaplane tour. It was fabulous and memorable. https://www.islandwings.com/mistytours.html

We weren't interested in joining! Curious about potential impact on public areas. Thanks for your info.

We were also on this cruise. It was our first cruise since the pandemic and it went well. Food quality is a smidge down and upcharges in the MDR, Pinnacle, etc are noticeable. Overall comfort of the cruise was excellent. Music variety is a major plus. Interesting that the cruise was essentially sold out, but never felt crowded.

Anybody have info regarding the impact of a Mark Steyn group? NA Feb 2024. Thanks

Thank you!

We've had retreat cabanas on other HAL ships, but not Pinnacle class. Do you have a preference for cabana location on the Rotterdam - port/starboard or overlooking the pool? We're considering air circulation with the plexiglass panels and trying to avoid a sense of feeling crowded. Do you have a recommendation for any particular location to avoid? Thanks for your help.
