Do you have a link to the sample menu?

Pre-check was still great at LGA last week. Saved us a great deal of time. Of course, my husband always slows things down due to his many bionic parts!

Hilarious!😂

Leaving the house in the morning, coming home and the bed has not been made. What's up with that?!

Well, they're not expressly forbidden... 🤔

I wish you safe travels! I look forward to reading about your adventures!

Sounds like a fascinating yet frustrating adventure!

About 15 minutes. We took a car service from the airport to the hotel and then from the port back to the hotel.

I suggest reviewing your statement each day on the TV in your cabin. I find it easier to catch any errors while purchases/charges are still fresh in your memory.

We stayed at Hotel ML. Great location! I would definitely stay there again. https://www.mlinhaarlem.nl/en/

On our last trip to the Netherlands we stayed pre-cruise in Haarlem. It was wonderful. So much more laid back than Amsterdam with plenty to do for a few days. We have stayed in Rotterdam and Amsterdam previously on land trips and have enjoyed them too.

It could be for a change in port fees?

If they embarked in Vancouver the rules are different than going from one US port to another. If there is a violation, your fine would probably be added to your onboard account, they do have your credit card info.

Also, check what coverage you may have with the credit card you use to book the hotel. Some include basic insurance coverage for these situations.

We will be on Oosterdam in 1/2025. Can anyone tell me if the veranda cabins on deck 4 have bathtubs or shower only and are they older with shower curtains? Also, has the library been restored on the Oosterdam? Thanks!

We used the Guest Service desk on our last cruise because the Neptune Lounge did not have the binder that showed all of the vases available for purchase.

Your photos from the photo shoot are lovely!

What a wonderful review! Thanks for taking the time to do it!

I've yet to have a phone conversation with the TA I've been working with for the past 5 years. I email them the details of what I want and they take care of it. I have much better things to do than wait on hold to talk with someone who may or may not be able to help me.

It looks like the table in front of the loveseat is adjustable. That's nice!

I like the included option to upgrade your cabin within your booked category. That has saved us quite a bit of money. I also enjoy the shorter lines and the no wait for tendering. I have used CO on both the older ships and the Pinnacle ships. I did prefer the dedicated CO dining room on the Nieuw Statendam (Pinnacle class) but still appreciated having the shorter line for the MDR on the Nieuw Amsterdam (Signature class). I also took advantage of the expanded room service menu. I can't think of anything I disliked.

I think it's a good move. Sometimes there would be 2 and even 3 on occasion on the 1st page. It gets to be like the pinned posts, too much clutter.

That's quite a menu! It would be really difficult to choose1

What type of activities is your husband interested in? It may be that HAL just isn't a good fit for him.

Lokrum Island, just a very short ferry ride from Dubrovnik was a favorite of ours. But, we have not visited since Game of Thrones was filmed there. That could have changed the experience. It had been a nice place for a swim and a walk, leaving behind the chaos that Dubrovnik is on ship days.
