@twangster what a shame they take the first sea pass card off you. I like to keep ours as souvenirs ๐ Thanks so much for sharing such detail on change over day. It really helps put my mind at ease for our change over day in July. Am still undecided on whether to stay onboard or go ashore. We have the unlimited dining plan on our second cruise, so staying onboard would mean we get first pick at reservations before the other passengers start boarding.
But being in a foreign port, far from Australia, an extra 4 or 5 hours in Amsterdam would come in mighty handy for restocking snacks and seeing some more sights.
