    Wow! I bought at $40. Ouch. Seemed like pretty good earnings I saw this week, but can they keep it up?

    For decades, we booked our own cruises but now find our travel agent to be more than worth it. She is very good at watching if cruise prices fall and gets us good benefits onboard.

    Warning! Greenland visitors might want to bring netting to protect your face and head from bugs. They weren't biting badly but they did want to get in your eyes and noses.

    British Airways has always treated us well, but Heathrow is a disaster every time we have to use it.

    That is bad. So sorry to hear about your bad experience, our butler complained because we weren't using him enough. Have to love that attitude. I hope you complained to Oceania.

    Our butler Francis was great in 2022 on the Miami to Venice cruise. He was very good at fulfilling our requests, even last minute. We had a Holland America cruise last month and the service was OK, but nowhere near as good as that Oceania cruise.

    I have been on three different cruise lines since the pandemic and all have slipped. Cutting corners and pinching pennies. But I find this everywhere, air travel, land resorts. I will still be cruising with Oceania, because of the three lines, they had the best post-Corona cruises.

    I made the same mistake. I ordered hard liquor, but barely finished two bottles in 28 days. Next time I will buy wine and take them to dinner.

    Princess carved out a suite dining area on the Emerald Princess last September. Shouldn't be hard to do on a Holland ship.

    We were on the Voyage of the Vikings on the Zuiderdam and we did have to tender in Reykjavik. First time ever tendering on an overnight. I understood why the NCL ship was parked because their cruise was starting from there. Holland America being too cheap? Or didn't apply for a berth soon enough?

    I leave them on until the next cruise. I leave them all on my carry-on. Reminds me of the old steamer trunks.

    We have only gone by late at night. Next time I will set an alarm.

    We had teleprompter lectures from the cruise director about Hawaiian history. And also flora and fauna speakers.

    Our October 2022 cruise on the Koningsdam also went to Kahului. I preferred Lahaina.

    Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission?
  16. JeffElizabeth
    Agree. Cruise ships can afford to pay extra to go through on time of appointment.

    I was just on a cruise with HA and the tendering waves were huge when we parked in St. Anthony a few days ago.

    Thanks. The article with the 83 billion in back orders didn't list any new Dam ships.

    Or better cabin number means better seat assignment in the MDR, a table with a view? Question: do people tip the maitre d there?
  20. JeffElizabeth
    Thanks for the correction, I should know that because we drove right past the Fincantieri shipyard April, 2022.

    So will Holland get a new ship? There was scuttlebutt on the VOV that the new Holland ship was currently being built in the Finisterra shipyards. I doubt the story myself. One more thing, which two ships left in the Holland fleet are most likely to be sold to another line? Westerdam? Zuiderdam? Another ship?
  22. JeffElizabeth
    Great advice. Amazing how fast your comments get to their supervisors. (Also works for bad service or slip-ups.)
  23. JeffElizabeth
    There are tours that take you there. Did one last April. Beware. Traffic can get very bad on the route. Is the train faster?
  24. JeffElizabeth
    We did have a nice walk through the town when we visited in April.
  25. JeffElizabeth
    No explanation for the deleted stops. The tender ride to Reykjavik is because bigger boats took all the docks. Might just be scuttlebutt on the Iceland change.
