Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you In-Side-Cabin, Those cakes looked wonderful and delectable!!!! Bless those pastry chefs. happytotravel
  2. Hello Miss G and Others, NCL also never let on that the MDR was open on embarkation day. Probably other cruise lines do the same. Have a great day! happytotravel
  3. Thank you all, Those photos are great. I will be very happy with that style tea. happytotravel
  4. Hi, Is "High Tea" still done during a cruise or any other type of "tea"? I will be on the Volendam in June. Thanks, happytotravel
  5. Hi All, I did get a reply back today from Customer Service which I've pasted below from the email I sent them the other day. We will just have to wait and see what happens. If enough folks contact them maybe they will reverse their decision. happytotravel ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Holland America Ship Services Good Day, Thank you very much for submitting your comments regarding the embarkation lunch on board our ships.

  6. Hello All, I just sent the following email to HAL stating my concern over their closing the MDR for lunch on embarkation day. I have always enjoyed being able to go there and having a relaxing lunch on my cruises with NCL I was hoping to experience the same on HAL. Perhaps if others do the same they "might" reverse their decision. happytotravel ========================================================== HAL_Ship_Services@hollandamerica.com Good Morning, I wanted to write and say how disappointed I am in reading on Cruise Critic's website that the MDR will no longer be open for lunch on embarkation day. I am aware, as on many other lines, it is kept a "secret" in order to keep the numbers small in the dining room. But, it has always been a wonderful place to have a quiet lunch after the stress of traveling for those who know the area is available. I do hope HAL will reconsider, ==========================================================
  7. Yes, I agree. If there is anyone who doesn't want their tiles on my Volendam June 01 or June 08 cruises let me know and I will be able more than happy to take them. Thanks, happytotravel
  8. Thank you all, I will try and head toward the MDR where I'm sure will be quieter. It is the same on NCL. The crew will only mention the buffet area in order to keep the numbers down in the MDR. Have a wonderful day planning your next cruise, happytotravel
  9. Thank you Racephoto, That photo looks very, very tasty. I haven't sailed on any of the Carnival lines in the past. I've done the majority on NCL with one Viking river cruise so I'll get my Mariner star on the 2nd cruise. I think it's always fun to be able to get a little extra if possible. I've enjoyed those extras on NCL for years. On embarkation day of my first cruise is the Lido the only place for eating or is the MDR also open? Again, thanks for your response, happytotrave.
  10. Thank you RuthC, At the moment, I've booked all the excursions that interested me. I guess I'll just have to give that $ amount up. happytotravel
  11. Hi Ruth, I have $10.10 leftover from my shore excursion $ amount from HIA. Can I sign it over to the crew fund? If so, do I go to Guest Services to do that? Thank you, happytotravel
  12. Thank you Crew News, Your sample daily schedule gives me a good idea of what to expect. I know the dailies will be on the app but are there also hard copies delivered to the cabin or can they be gotten from Guest Services? Thanks again, happytotravel
  13. Hello Again, I've contacted my PCC and she changed my dining option to open seating. It was quick and easy. Have a good night. happytotravel
