BetsyS.

Thank you. Good to know.

Years ago when I was on the Veendam with my family, we were one deck below Lido Deck. Sometimes around 5 or 6 am, I could hear chairs by the pool being dragged around. I don't know if crew or passengers did this. On my upcoming cruise, there will only be cabins above and below me, so it should be quiet.

I hope you and your husband will feel better soon. I wish you all the best.

Thanks so much for posting this. I love Bingo! 😊

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry you had delays, but glad you had comfortable first class seats. I hope you can get some rest. That's great you had a wonderful trip.

Thanks for the info about the crabcakes. I won't order them, but there are many other choices. I'm sorry you had trouble getting home. The pizza must have tasted great! I hope you can get some rest.

Thanks for answering. I am not using the Navigator app. I will wait until I get onboard. I have a reservation at Pinnacle Grill for one night and I will make Rudis reservation when I'm onboard.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. It's true that nothing compares to blue crab. I will order fish. I hope they will have Dover sole and I like halibut too.

Rubytues - I hope you had a good flight. I have a question, but I don't need answer right away. You must be tired after your long day. My mom grew up in Baltimore and I spent childhood summers there with my grandparents. I started eating crabcakes when I was very young. I was spoiled by eating Maryland crab. Did you have any crabcakes on the ship? My stepfather and I will board the New Statendam on 8/3. I wonder if I should try crabcakes on the ship, if they have them. Thanks again for all your great reporting and beautiful pictures!

Rubytues - so glad you did well and got to gate early with food and coffee! Safe travels home. Your reports and pictures were A+! Thank you.

Bon Voyage! Have a great time!

Yes. Thank you. Good to know.

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry if my question has been asked before and I missed the answer. If you order room service dinner from MDR and you have the HIA package, are the drinks covered by HIA or are you charged for the drinks? Thanks in advance for answer. I enjoyed all of your reports. Thank you. Safe travels home.

Thanks for all your great reporting. Safe travels home.

Thank you so much for the excellent reporting and beautiful pictures! I enjoyed them. Have a good day today and safe travels home.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Cruise Suzy - I enjoy your reports. Thank you.

RubyTues - Thanks for your great reviews, attention to detail and beautiful pictures!

Thanks for the great picture. Years ago when I was on the Veendam, I was in Bar Harbor waiting for a Tender to go back to the ship. There was a big sign saying HAL. At the very last minute, I realized that I was on line for a Tender to go to the Maasdam. I then went to the line for the Veendam. It was a close call and the day before we got back to Boston.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thank you.
