By any measure, in my humble opinion, they are worth it.

Good evening, Jacqui!!!

Nancy and I have booked the following:

November 10th 2019 Nieuw Statendam 7-days Eastern Caribbean 

December 7th 2019 Nieuw Amsterdam 7-days Tropical Caribbean 

thank you doing this!

I received it today as well.

Thank you, everyone!

Just now, Himself said:

If that is the Nieuw Statendam we might run into each other. You will know where to find me.

REALLY!?!?!?!? We'll be at your service every day!!

November 10th in Port Everglades.

this seems like a one-time event.... is it?
 

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:
Please be advised that check-in for your Cruise will now begin at 2:00 PM.

Embarkation cannot begin until these formalities are complete. For your comfort, we ask that you arrive at the check-in time as indicated below as there is limited seating and facilities at the terminal. If

We invite our 4 & 5 Star Mariners and Pinnacle & Neptune Suite guests to arrive anytime between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

We took an Uber over to the 15th Street Fish Cafe and had a nice little lunch and Ubered back. We got right back on the ship... easy breezy!

although I wish I listened to @sail7seas and got out of the second Muster Drill... hahaha! That was smart!

That happened to me last night, nd after a while i turned my iPad and iPhone off and then turned it back on, It worked!

Glad to hear it wasn’t only me

That’s correct, @gigi1977 !

Thank you for the quick response.

Please remind me how you find out if there is a group//charter in your cruise?

specifically, the Nov 10 Niew Statendam

ewwww... why not tell guest services so they can clean/refill it? 

I asked, they cleaned... 🙂

This ship is gorgeous! Colors, fabrics, everything!

Service is amazing! Staff is typically wonderful!

Dutch Cafe has some incredible offerings, and I’m told they are free, minus a few.

Retreat cabanas have become too crowded with 22 - it’s no longer peaceful - or a retreat from the chaos. Unfortunately, watched a couple have sex in the retreat hot tub yesterday - mid day - so we won’t be going in there this week. Horrifying to think someone would do that. Cabana Guys were too busy to notice.

the new bars are amazing... BB King is outrageously good!

Just arrived in Turks and Caicos and getting ready to head off the ship! Have a great day?

quick question:  Does anyone have the recipe for the Muesli in the MDR ? It’s to die for!

What colors are we looking for?  Flags?

Hope we see you...

 

Blue and white shirts... no flags!!  Darn it

This made my day!

We’ll be waving from the Nieuw Statendam - cabin 6146!!!

Have a great week everyone!

We would never get off the boat in Jamaica again... dirty place, no real attractions... We didnt feel safe.

The port building looks like a horror movie.

A busy Sunday with 3 Blue Hulled Beauties setting off on a number of itineraries from both coasts as well as Japan.  In the US we have the Nieuw ships sailing, Nieuw Amsterdam out of San Diego to Mexico, and the Nieuw Statendam to the Eastern Caribbean.  Wishing everybody pleasant flights (if needed) calm seas and a wonderful time (but sorry, ASIWISH, I am anxiously awaiting your disembarkation from the Nieuw Statendam) . 

Bon Voyage to Nieuw Amsterdam – 7-day Mexican Riviera:

Roy (for Jacqui)

 

You couldn’t be more wonderful!!

Darn it! Sorry! I looked all over. My mistake!

Outstanding!

THANK YOU!! If you speak with her, please give her my best!

I have been gone from Cruise critics for a few months, and have noticed that Sail7Seas hasn’t posted mince November. 

I know she is quite an icon here on the HAL board.... I’m hoping that someone can update me on her?

I miss her.

Kevin
