Apparently the "Nieue Statendam isn't what we cruised on April 2001. She was just called the Statendam at that time as was less than 56,000 GTW. We haven't considered another HAL cruise.
Based on those prices if we weren't at the CC tier level we are we would never use the wash n fold laundry bags. We only use them for socks and underwear. We are over packers anyway but still use the benefit.
We wouldn't change our stateroom category to accommodate others. We would say to the rest in our group, see ya around the ship. We also wouldn't even think of letting others piggyback with us. Agree, inconsiderate to others and selfish to even consider it. But we choose to no longer cruise with family or friends.
Agree with @Cigar King that the interactive TV option to view our onboard accounts was not available on the Explorer on our March 2022 B2B cruise. We've cruised on the Explorer three other times, 2009 and 2016 (B2B) but can't remember if there was the interactive TV option then.
This thread and many others like it are exactly why others opinions or experiences, positive or negative do not influence our decisions of a cruise line, ship, itinerary and etc.

Fleetwide. Depends on your CC tier level. You will receive a detailed (what, prices and discounts) list of all select perks/benefits in your stateroom.
You just keep repeating that chant and by the time you are home you might be chanting something totally different. 😉 Now I've got the song "Dirty Water" (Standells) stuck in my head. Safe travels.
