The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday March 11th, 2024
Hogladyrider replied to kazu's topic in Holland America Line
THANK YOU ALL for the warm welcome! For fear of missing someone I am going to leave it at the above. Bit about me, I am 71 and have been a full-time RVer since 2015 and continue to love the lifestyle. Lived 40+ years in Florida and left when we retired and we now winter in Yuma, weather is far superior to Florida! My partner does NO social media, me I follow a lot of blogs and a lot of CC cruisers, especially those world cruisers. I envy their energy! Looking forward to continuing with everyone!- 105 replies

Hoping that newcomers are welcome here. I have been reading and following for some time now but have never posted. I so enjoy reading every morning and if newcomers are welcome I would like to join. @DeniseT I remember your excitement over your first HAL cruise. Hope Fiona is on the mend soon. Curious what the vet prescribed for the UTI. I am 71 and had my very first UTI ever in my life and didn't even know I had one! For humans as we age it is pretty common. As with all infections being a TKR patient I have to be super careful with any infection. @Quartzsite Cruiser I got a chuckle out of your comment regarding traffic in Yuma on a Sunday. We are full-time RVers who have wintered in the Foothills for 5 winters and the traffic this time of year is YUCK! Reminds me of when I lived in Florida. Thankfully we don't have to be out on the roads much because it is like you take your life in your hands! Hard to believe it has been so long since the Pandemic was started. It seems like yesterday to us. Definitely trying times for sure.- 105 replies

Grand Dutch Cafe not complementary anymore?
Hogladyrider replied to SweetsugarNL's topic in Holland America Line
We just were on Koningsdam to Hawaii and with HIA we were not charged for food or beverages at Dutch Cafe....and I confess to having two of those DELICIOUS chocolate bombs in 18 days and many capaccinos! -

I was also on this sailing and I agree 100%. My body needs 70 so I brought a lightweight coverup that I wore mostly on the ship. First few days were windy. Temps at ports were perfect! -
We were on Koningsdam 18 day to Hawaii Jan til Feb 18. We only encountered one grumpy bar tender back at Sea Aft Pool. It was very obvious he did not want to be doing his job. On the other hand all the employees at other bars were outstanding and very friendly. We ate most meals in Lido and can't say enough for those employees, especially considering what they have to deal with passengers. All servers were very friendly as well even in World Stage! Dutch Cafe employees were outstanding and very friendly as well. Now we dined in Pinnacle and Tamarind. Tamarind the service was TOP NOTCH as was the food. Pinnacle not so much and we were very underwhelmed with the food in Pinnacle. He had rib eye, loaded with fat; I had fish, good but honestly I had better on Lido. Our room stewards were over the top and made sure we named them in our survey as well. We also had room service every morning, coffee at 6:30 and they never missed a beat and were friendly even at that crazy hour. HAL is still our favorite cruise line and we are only 2 Star.

LAFFNVEGAS Live from Windstar Wind Surf March 2, 2024
Hogladyrider replied to LAFFNVEGAS's topic in Windstar Cruises
@LAFFNVEGAS...looking at the pics of those yachts looks like "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous"! Enjoying your review looks like great weather as well! -
Recently returned, February 18, 2024, from an 18 day Hawaii cruise and laundry per bag was $25, fast service and worth every penny! We were on Koningsdam and the bags were very roomy!
