debut

Thank you both for getting back to me

We purchased a future cruise while on board and would like to transfer to our agent, is there a time limit to do this, would like to wait till Thanksgiving and see if we could get a better deal. Cruise is for 2020

thank you,

Debbie

Thanks everyone. Good to know we need RMB. Is China like Japan with few places that use credit cards? Haven't been to China yet

Thank you Big M, should have said memorial instead of Peace park,

Thank you RoC, would love to hear from you after your visit, we are big history fans and want to see as much about WW2 as we can

Debbie

Thank you for the replies:)

is this close to the airport? We were told Westerdam will be at this terminal. Will be getting in around 7 to 8 pm, hoping it's not too far away.

Thanks,

Debbie

are there plenty of taxis here that would make getting to the Japanese Naval HQ and the Peace Park and Musuem easy from our ship? Does anyone know how far away from one location to the other is? Will be there in March!

Thank you

Debbie

Thanks Alberta and Kazu:phiro

couple of months we will be on Prinsendam for her transatlantic cruise, we have a 50$ per cabin beverage pkg as one of the perks, is this just soda and water? Which will be nice since that's what we drink? Haven't seen one this price ever! Laundry, does ship have fill your bag as many times during cruise for one low price, such as 25$ each time? Had this on Maasdam and loved it!

Oh, and where do you find if your CCL stock has been posted on my HAL documents?

Thank you

Debbie

do you find your CCL stock

Hi Kazu,

What a great review, couldn't wait to read it every night!

We will be on Prinsendam in Oct.for the TransAtlantic leaving from Rome to Ft Lauderdale. This is our second cruise with HAL, first being on Massdam last year for 28 days, thoroughly enjoyed it :D

Just a couple of questions if you please, how is the library? Maasdam was wonderful I thought. We always eat at the Lido, I know some people don't understand, we have our reasons like eating when we like and not having such long dinners for a couple. Hoping the food is as good as on Maasdam and crew just as friendly. Oh, and does she have an enclosed space on the upper deck?

Thanks so much for the review and all your info, I was really surprised how much we enjoyed last years cruise:)

Debbie

Thanks Anthony, everything I need to know:p

Thanks everyone, just didnt know for sure, twice in Europe we had to get our luggage and go through security then go board the next flight!

By the way Hank we are on the same cruise with you, Singapore to Vancouver, leaving Tuesday:D

and stopping in Tokyo, will we have to pick up our luggage and go through customs before we board for Singapore? Also, read that if you have packaged snacks you have to leave them on the plane in Japan as you get off, anyone know anything about this? Thanks

Thanks for the replies, was going to take protein bars, crackers,etc. but we do stop in Tokyo so maybe I should take what only we can eat.

to Singapore. Anyone have suggestions for something good and easy to take to eat while on board? Would love to take something a little filling, not much on Delta's food. DH said he was taking a couple of peanut butter sandwiches. Any one with any tips?

Are the movies free?

Everyone is so nice and helpful, getting a lot of info, and Luv has great videos, if Singapore is as friendly as everyone on this board, it's going to be fantastic! Thanks again everyone :D

Thanks everyone, good info! We are staying at Holiday Inn Express Clark Quay and sailing on Golden Princess April 10. Have two days to enjoy Singapore. Thanks for info on Gardens by the Bay, will an afternoon be long enough to see everything, then maybe stay later for the light show?

I knew about the gum, just wondering mostly about taking water in buildings and taxis. I think I will love Singapore and have no problems at all with their laws. I respect all countries we visit, if I can't I'll stay on the ship

first time in Singapore and Asia. Can you take bottle water in shops, taxis and metro trains? Is the water good from the tap? Also can you take a snack and have it on a park bench in the city? Anymore things I may need to know, we have 3 days there before our cruise and are getting excited! Thanks

Will be on Prisendam in October, 2018 and have a guarantee inside cabin, think cheapest one. Just looked at the cabins on the deck plans and it's tiny. Sure wished I had requested a K or M. Does anyone think I may be lucky enough to get one of those? Was on Maasdam last year and had an ocean view, our first Holland cruise and had a great time. Hoping to enjoy this 26 day cruise as much. Any more info about her would be greatThanks

Thanks for the comments, I'm sure the salad bar will be good. On Maasdam, the bar was large with all kinds of goodies, the server would take a huge bowl and fill it up with what you choose. Toss with whatever dressings you like. Very friendly bunch working there:D

was great in the Lido when we sailed in her last year. Going on the Prisendam in October and hoping she has a salad bar like Maasdam. This is our 2nd cruise with Holland and hope to be as pleased with this second as we were with the first! Thanks for any comments about the two ships that I'd love to read:)

Kieth, that was funny, like that!!

Was on our first Holland cruise this year, they had a laundry bag full for 20$, since we were on for four weeks we used it, worked great, sent it the night before and always received laundry back the next afternoon, once the next morning. I thought I heard someone say the laundry was open 24 hours. Any way it was great.

Love our elite perks on Princess and thankful for them all, I do love Pam's idea about keeping up with the cabins and not abusing the privilege.

Thanks for the replies! Can you make reservations before the trip with the private cars or safe tazi? Or can you get a ticket when you arrive at the airport?

Thanks again

Debbie
