Besides the Zaandam doing the one-way Canada/NE cruises, it also has a round trip Boston cruise, and I believe it is the May 20th, 2023 sailing if I remember correctly.

Going on the Serenade 5 nighter in Oct., and the lowest I've seen it was $66.99 day plus taxes.

Besides Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, and NCL also have packages that you can book which include drinks, wifi, etc.

With a happy ending? lol

I hope you had a wonderful cruise Don.

We're going on Silhouette on 1/15/24. We HAD 6402 booked, but switched to an obstructed balcony when rates dropped a bit. However, our cousin is in 6403. I will make it a point to check out his cabin..maybe get some pictures and post them, if I can figure out how.

If you do enjoy spending time in the room and watching some tv, HAL has a TON of free movies that you can watch.

An additional $50 obc showed up on my 2024 Celebrity bookings also.

My daughter and her family are cruising with you, so I am enjoying your review immensely and love your sense of humor!

Snorkel Park is an easy walk from the ship. I believe they are charging $15 pp to get in nowadays. Bermuda Snorkel Park Beach Club -Dockyards .Club Aqua Best Beach #bermuda #beach - Bing video

Once on board, go visit the maitre'd in the main dining room and have everyone's room # with you to arrange to seat together. They are most accommodating.

Maybe you mean in 2024??

Nonrefundable will be used first.

I would also suggest a catamaran excursion on Rising Son.

I read on another board that NCL is charging the gratuities to your on board account for every drink that you get when you have the free at sea drink pkg. We've been on NCL many times, and this has not been the case. Has this changed or perhaps the person that reported this was on Pride of America Hawaii cruise.

We were on the ship that day too. I remember they delayed sailaway due to so many passengers arriving late. Ship's crew were making snowangels and enjoying seeing the snow. They didn't enjoy having to shovel the snow later on though. It was a spectacular day and wonderful, but short cruise to nowhere.

Thank you. I did do a search and found prices for 2022. I'm assuming they went up for 2023 sailings.

I'm holding a cabin for Oct. for a NE/Canada cruise - 5 nighter. We are diamond, so I know we each get 4 complimentary drinks a day. Can someone tell me what the cost of a regular mixed drink, such as rum coke, would cost, and also what the cost of a martini, such as a cosmo or espresso martini cost? Thanks in advance.

We are in the same boat....literally as you. Flying on 1.13 for cruise on 1.14 on Nieuw Statendam. Hope we all make it! Suzanne and Steven

We're cruising in 10 days on Nieuw Statendam and we finally received our boarding assignment of "C" which states 11:45 a.m. We cruised on the Rotterdam this past March and had group A. I remember it took about 2 1/2 hours to get on board. Longest we have ever waited. I definitely do not want a repeat of that. I believe we'll arrive around 12:30 so hopefully the majority of people will have already boarded. But my question is, how many boarding assignment letters are there? A - ? ??

I'm currently booked on one of those near the elevator on Nieuw Statendam for our cruise 1/14 on Deck 8. I want to change it to an oceanview, but the upsell desk currently is only offering me balcony upgrades and Vista upgrades e at a price point I don't want to pay. I'm going to keep calling, once a week, and see if their price goes down to upgrade to one of those or if they are offering upgrades to oceanviews. What I don't like about the cabin is the sofa on the side of the bed. It seems too close. And the tv is above the sofa not in front of the bottom of the beds.

I don't buy our insurance through any cruiseline. I buy third-party ins.

Do you remember which perks you initially lost?

Thank you!

We're cruising on the Nieuw Statendam in Jan. If we accept an upsell, do we get to keep all our current perks, including OBC that we have from stock ownership, and veterans obc, as well as our original OBC from Holland? Will we keep the same reservation number, or will we get assigned a new one and have to rebook our specialty dining and shore excursions?
