I only take DL and birth cert. and never have a problem.

you don't even need a passport

I don't smuggle, I pack. 36 cruises on 8 different lines (last 4 on HAL) always bring a bottle of vodka, vermouth, and brandy. we have a drink in the cabin prior to dinner each night and a night cap. Not trying to save money in fact if they had an extra surcharge of 50 dollars that would be fine with me. I want the brands I like poured in the strengths I like, immediately and not waiting for room service.

Never had a bottle taken from luggage on any of the cruises.

Oh, I remember the name now, it's called "headache in a bottle"

southworst is my last choice. prefer Alaska on west coast, virgin America, or delta for any cross country runs. BA, KLM, AA, Delta for Europe. book air before booking the cruise.

policy, I also bring a bottle (two on TA's) of vodka and brandy plus a half bottle of port along with the vermouth!

we either eat breakfast or lunch not both. six to seven in the morning, I doubt it is very crowded. On the TA, I will let you know.

A cigar on the balcony, one at 6 am and one at midnite

No, we always arrive at least a day before

we usually wait until 2:30-3. 20 agents, 20 passengers on in 10 minutes and I never pre-register. Show ID and give credit card at the counter. 35 cruises never had a problem.

baseball caps on a sunny day out by the pool, of course. any other time NO !

hey navybankerteacher how are you? we were on the prinsendam with you TA in 2014. doing same TA on the Koningsdam this year.

I never register until boarding at the docks usually 2 hrs before departure.

what is the rambles in Barcelona? Oh, Las Ramblas LOL

took the P-dam for 16 days TA and loved it. hope to do in again but going on the K-dam this fall.

first, cherries do not go in martinis. vermouth, sherry, marsala, and port are wines. distilled products are liquor. I have brought a small bottle of white vermouth on each of my 35 cruises on 8 different lines and never had a problem.

21% of adult Americans smoke. at 36 million people that is one of the largest minority groups in the world.

there is no smell on a side balcony when the ship is going at 21 knots. now in port, that's another thing.

I like to read, have a glass of wine, and a cigar covered from the sun. Looks like I am out of luck on the K-Dam.

prinsendam best ship in the fleet IMHO

i always smoke cigars while i read on the promenade deck near the rear of the ship

the oak room is nice but is only on the noordam. they have the friends of bill meetings there every afternoon so they were not that happy! only use the balcony to smoke at six am and midnight

hope the whole award gets overturned or maybe 50k total. that is complete bull and is why jurys should never set the amounts.

we order appies and soup only a lot of the time. never order desert and leave as soon as we are done. need to get to the casino!

Hey Seagarsmoker

haven't seen you on the boards for years. we sailed the Carnival Freedom in may 2010. loved the cigar lounge in the big room that had the jazz trio. we were on the prinsendam transatlantic in nov. '14, the westerdam in Alaska this last june and going on the westerdam again in December this year.

hope all is well

well, 22% of adults would be the largest minority group in the world. just sailed the Prinsendam & Westerdam recently and smoking was not a problem.
