You can check different floors, too. On our floor on the Grand Princess there are only 2 washers/2 washers in the room, which were busy, but on the floor below the laundry room had 4 washers/4 dryers. They might differ a bit on lots of floors.

Hi, a question about the app. I had the app on my iPad and decided I also wanted it on my iPhone before our cruise. I found it easy to use as an app, made reservations, etc. But yesterday when I added it, it also needed to be updated, so I did that for both apps. But now, I only seem to be able to log in for half the time, and it isn’t an app version anymore - it is just exactly the same as the Safari version, which seems odd. Is anybody having the same problem? Do you think I can just wait this out? My cruise isn’t for 40 days. Follow-up: well, now I seem to be able to access the app versio on my iPad, at least logging in the other way using my reservation number. So now I will just leave everything alone!

Thank you so much for all the information, so helpful. The last time we went, with the last printed directions, I think our GPS must have said something about Holland Tunnel and I thought that would only take us into Manhattan for some reason, and thought the GPS was totally bad. I will print out your directions and not panic!

Hi - we are staying at the Hyatt House in Parsippany. Last time we sailed out of the Cape Liberty port was in 2015, and we got driving directions from this website. They were so much better than our GPS that tried to take us into NYC. I know that was a long time ago. I tried finding that again, but are there any more recent directions on cruisecritic that you can point me to?

Thank you so much.

I have another question about the classic drinks package, which was part of our cruise booking. When I was going to print out my information today it shows a cruise credit of over $800 for a 7 day cruise. Does it normally show up as a large cruise credit before you board?

We had a cabana on the Eurodam for 2 cruises, from December 10-28, and it was excellent. It did have some music all the time but luckily it was pretty peaceful. I am sorry to hear about younger children, though, on a different ship, and I can see finding that difficult. I thought that is what the other retreat areas near the pool were supposed to be used for. The ship for the Christmas portion was completely packed, compared to the first one, and I am so glad we had the cabana. But we may schedule differently for next time,

We received our boarding time for 1 p.m. at FLL. If we do plan on a 1 p.m. boarding, does that mean we could show up for parking at noon (I am a slightly nervous car person), check in our bags and then slowly amble over? I do forget about the process for checking in our bags.

So sorry to hear about you being robbed. You sound very brave and like you dealt with it well. And then you returned to a good rest-of-day on the ship. Thank you for being a great role model.

A friend who is visiting her son in Miami just sent me this photo of your ship.

Thank you very much, I will call them.

Hi, I received an email today from Holland America that said there was some information currently missing from my check-in. We are Canadian and it says that there is information “missing or incomplete” about our “U.S. address while in U.S.” I looked at our check-in again and I couldn’t find anywhere to add this info, and every section had a green check mark except the last Health part which I can only do 3 days before the cruise. Can anybody suggest where I might find a place to provide this info, or if I should worry?

Thank you! I have a great-nephew named Ra and I did not know that meaning for the name! Fun to read your posts.

Thanks very much, RuthC and crystalspin. I’ll prepare for everything!

Thanks for this information about the cabins under the BB King bar/stage, RuthC and crystalspin. I was in the Westerdam in a J cabin years ago and was so happy with the size of the cabin. So I happily booked J1064 for an upcoming cruise in the Eurodam. Is there any chance that is one of the quiet few close to the atrium, as you mentioned? Or should I plan to party late?
