Ok, I admit this is kind of a trivial question, but: is a shoehorn part of the standard amenities in an Azamara veranda cabin? Wondering if I need to bring one from home.

If I log in on Azamara’s website and go to my future cruises, I can buy beverage and internet packages, but I can also choose Special Requests. Under Bedding, it’s possible to e.g. request a baby cot, but there is also an option: Back To Back Reservation. What does this option do? We will be on a b2b in April.

Small amendment: if you want to do both Delft and The Hague, it’s probably better to take a tram (instead of a train) from Delft to The Hague. In Delft, the tram stop is right in front of the station, and the tram will drop you off directly in the center of The Hague.

Rotterdam to Delft or The Hague is very easy. For Delft: from the cruise port, just take the metro to Central Station (4 stops. You may also walk; this takes appr. 40 mins). From Central Stations, there are trains leaving every 5 to 10 mins to Delft. The trip takes 15 minutes, Delft train station is located directly on the edge of the medieval city center. Delft is a very small city; it is possible to walk the entire city center in 2 or 3 hours. From the cruise port to The Hague is even easier, since there is a direct metro from the cruise port (metro station Wilhelminahaven) to The Hague Central Station (metro line E). Total travel time is 40 minutes. If you want to do both Delft and The Hague, it's probably best to go to Delft first, visit the city, then take a train from Delft to The Hague Central Station (trains leave every 10 minutes, total travel time is 15 mins). From The Hague Central Station, you can take the direct metro line E back to the cruise port in Rotterdam.

You can easily do Amsterdam on your own. From the Rotterdam cruise port, walk to the metro and take a metro train to Central Station (just 4 stops). From Rotterdam Central Station, you can take the Intercity Direct straight to Amsterdam Central Station. Trains run every 10 minutes, and it will take you only 40 minutes to get from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a very walkable city; if you step out of Central Station, you're right in the middle of town. If you're not into walking, you can also take a tram or the metro.

As far as I can see there are no direct flights from SOU to BER but you could do it in 3h15 with a transfer in Amsterdam, for appr € 150 p.p. https://www.chaser.nl/zoekresultaten?uq=PmeaK2l07g7AR6i0oYoS&tt=Enkel&na=2&nc=0&ni=0&dd=2023-10-20&ori=Southampton (SOU)&des=Berlijn Brandenburg (BER)

The Holiday Inn hotel is in a better location, but it is located on a very busy street. If possible, ask for rooms on the back side, you will overlook a quiet body of water. From the hotel, it is easy to walk into the old center. From the Hampton Inn you either have to take a bike or tram 26 (tram stop is 2 minutes walking) to get to the city center.

According to the Dutch Hotel Star Classification, luggage service is compulsory only for five star hotels. Four star hotels might have luggage service on request. Sadly, Amsterdam is one of the more expensive hotel cities in Europe - although it's not as bad as Miami Beach. Have you checked the Pestana Riverside Hotel? It's a little bit outside the central canal zone, making it a little bit cheaper than other five star hotels in the city. https://www.pestanacollection.com/en/hotel/pestana-amsterdam-riverside

Hi, Can anyone tell me what brands of tonic water celebrity offers? Especially on the Reflection. Thanks!

I had the same problem; I wanted to upgrade our All Included package to a premium package pre-cruise, so I first sent an e-mail to Celebrity. They advised me to contact our TA for this, so I contacted her. She got in touch with Celebrity's local GSA, but they couldn't do anything either. In the end, I called Celebrity on their international Captain's Club telephone number (1-316-554-5961) and the they finally could book the upgrade. It took her 30 minutes to do so, apparently it was hard to book the upgrade under the CC tier discount rate that we are in, but she managed to do it in the end.

A return ticket from Rotterdam to Amsterdam by train is €40,20 for an adult in 2nd class (this includes the surcharge for the Intercity Direct service), in today's exchange rate that would be £35.08. Children up to 12 years old travel for €2,50 or £2.18. To get from the cruise terminal to Rotterdam Central Station, you could either walk (39 minutes) or take the metro. A single trip would be €4 or £3.49 per person (for a 2-hour ticket). You could also consider visiting other places like Delft or The Hague instead of Amsterdam. Since these are located closer to Rotterdam, the fare would be lower too.

Booking.com gives me plenty of possibilities during the cardiologists convention dates.

As far as I know, it is compulsory to wear face masks only in Greek Public Transport, so my guess is that they mean "ferries" when they talk about "boats".

In the Dutch version, it will 😇

Hmm, if I have to choose between an ocean view with a preferred layout, or a veranda with a less suitable layout, I think the balcony weighs heavier in that equation 😉
