Thanks very much. We are going with two other couples and this will help us with planning.

We will be on a sailing that leaves October 10th from Rome. We want to book some dining but don't want it to conflict with the Dressy/Gala nights in the Main Dining Room. Any help would be appreciated.  

Agreed.

We booked the Neptune casino rate for the late May Alaska cruise.  We are hoping it wont be cancelled. I doubt Carnival will go BK.  

I just pre-purchased internet for a 17 day cruise for $211.  Premium was the only choice offered.

I have been wondering the same thing. We are going on a 17 day. I did purchase it from the HAL website but the purchase only says 14-day coupon. I am hoping it will be good for the whole time.

We are doing this cruise in October.  Just finished picking our last excursion. 

Our trip in October on the Oosterdam now lists the 14+ Day Couple Package for $429. Our cruise is a 17 day. Are we only getting  to use it for only 14 days or the full 17?  When I click on the "buy now" option says 14 day coupon.  It seems like it will only be good for 14 days.  Anyone else have this problem?  I posted this question yesterday and a couple people said to just book it on the first day when we get on the ship.  

I would like to know if any of you who have purchased the couples pass can help me.  The description says Thermal Suite and Thalassotherapy Pool 14+ Day Couples Pass $439. When I go to purchase this, the description changes and it now says 14 day coupon.  The 14+ is missing. I am going on a 17 day trip on the Oosterdam.  Is the pass good for all 17 days or just 14?  I have tried searching for an answer but am striking out. 

Welcome home and thank you for sharing your wonderful cruise with everyone!

My wife and I will be celebrating our 30^th anniversary this October. We also have booked the renewal of vows ceremony.  After reading this thread,  I am so glad we did! 

This has been such a treat following your wonderful adventure. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with everyone!

My wife and I have only sailed twice on Holland America.  Our Alaska cruise on the Amsterdam and New England cruise on the Maasdam, were both in a Neptune suite. We really enjoyed the large cabin, balcony, Neptune Lounge, Pinnacle breakfasts and outstanding service.  The daily laundry was also a nice touch.  For us, we found that it was worth the extra money.  Our next cruise with Holland will be in a Signature Suite to Hawaii.  The price of the Neptune was just too much money for what we will be getting.  I did purchase the laundry service this time. If an up-sell is offered I will take it if the price is right.    

At this price do you only get 15 minutes of use per day?

Thanks!

Thank you. Do you remember what days they were? I did not want to book specialty dinners on those nights.

This question is off topic but I am hoping any of you might be able to  help.  We are on the 17 circle Hawaii leaving October 20th. I would like to know how many Gala nights there will be and which nights they will be on. It will help us decide our Pinnacle and Rudi pop up dinner.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip. I will pass it on.

285 days for me. 🙂

Thanks very much for the quick answer. 🙂

We are  going to Hawaii too. Does anyone know if we do not get off the ship in Ensenada, do we still need to go through customs? 

Thank you for the nice report.  I am glad you had a nice time. We sail on her in October. 

I found mine on Amazon. They fit the Holland boarding tag perfectly. 

The Neptune and Pinnacle have the real perks. The Signature is a larger cabin but really has no extras to speak of. It does have bath robe, slippers, binoculars and fancier pillows.   

Thank you all for the help.

Have a good night!
