And I'm trying my best not to panic. 😉

Nope, wasn't me but I sure enjoyed HGG. It's a shame Douglas Adams checked out so early in life.

Thanks CK, fun and informative review. I didn't notice anything about Tracy Arm--was it bypassed? Or maybe Endicott Arm substituted? I'm sailing this Saturday and hope it isn't iced up. Thanks.

Thanks for your detailed review, it makes our upcoming cruise even more real. I'm hoping Canada Place will be able to streamline the boarding process by the time we depart on May 27. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind--Were you able to cruise Tracy Arm or was it iced up? And was the old Microsoft Studio room on deck 2 converted to a library? Thanks much!

Thanks much for your report, though it is daunting to say the least. We are sailing on the Koningsdam twice this summer and I sure hope they can at least smooth out a few of the many 'wrinkles' you've commented on. We have always chosen to cruise from Vancouver rather than Seattle when we've had the choice as it has gone so smoothly in the past. It appears that's definitely not the case now! The last time we were on the Koningsdam was very enjoyable, though she wasn't full like now. I do have a question about her, post-refurbishment--have they converted the Microsoft Studio to a library? We were on the Rotterdam last summer and really enjoyed the well curated library. Thanks.

Thanks much for the detailed report and I hope you are fully recovered from Covid. We are embarking on a twice canceled Rotterdam cruise on July 24th, one of the 'no testing' experimental cruises. I sure wish that wasn't the case-- I don't mind testing at all if it keeps us and everyone else safer. I am surprised that HAL didn't treat you better as I always considered them to have superior guest services to comparably priced cruise lines and they have come through for us more than once in the past. It may be the added pressure of their huge pandemic financial losses and push to fill the ships is blinding them to the long term negative consequences of their actions.
