I was just on the Prima, and the decks never worked on the app. It opened one deck and never showed another. I went to Guest Services and the IT guy, but they couldn't help.

I didn't buy anything extra, nor do I gamble or drink, so it is beyond me why I received that email after only one cruise. I filled out my post cruise survey and told them what they did right and what they did wrong, IMO. So maybe I'll get lucky enough to get another offer, because alas, I can not use any of those. I am a nurse, and not much of a chance getting large chunks of time off, since nurses are leaving in droves.

When we cruised out of Civitavecchia, I made sure to get a hotel for the two days before near things to see within walking distance. I was lucky enough to find one overlooking the coliseum nearby, which was lit up at night. On our arrival day, we walked around Trajan's Market, keeping in mind that this was our first time here, so we just tried to see a little. The first night, we found a restaurant near our hotel that was amazing, and they just kept making vegetables for me, and seafood for him, and plying us with Limoncello! I don't drink much. Then after that, we discovered we had to get up 100 skinny steep steps to get back to our hotel. Imagine my horror. Anyway, it was a good way to spend a low-key evening. My husband has since passed away, but what wonderful memories I have. We walked around the next day, had wonderful breakfast at our hotel both days (once they found the oatmeal for me), and took a taxi to the port.

The pool and the tile beds are my fave.

I was not surprised by that, and also, many of these cruises are quite long. Unlike many Holland cruisers, I am not retired. It just so happened, one of the itineraries, I was already planning on. It's just that I have been on many other cruise lines, and never got an offer like that so soon. 😄

Since I just took my first cruise on Holland in December (12-nt Panama Canal), I am not sure if this is the norm, but two months after we got back, I got an email for free inside staterooms on particular sailings. After your first cruise with them? Unfortunately, I didn't see the email right away, so the itinerary I wanted was not available for that promotion. Just curious if the Holland aficionados know. Thanks Pam

I also just went there on an independent tour while on Holland. They were quite cool.

I am going on my first Holland cruise. I registered for the AARP credit after I booked it and I spoke to Holland the other day, and they said it was showing on my booking,

How are you getting a healthcare credit? I'm a working RN and I don't know about this. I thought MSC was the only one with healthcare credit. I appreciate any help.

I found a post at one point that gave what day and time new rewards are dropped on the different games. Can anyone help with this?

Thank you all. This certainly helps. We have gone to the spa talks on embarkation day, but never received a free day, on another line.

I will be going with my friends on the 12-day Panama Canal on Rotterdam. We love the thermal suite, but are trying to decide if it is worth the $299 when we are off the ship quite a bit. We are also wondering if they have day passes. Does anyone have experience with this?

Now I know there will be different opinions, but I ran in to a lady a couple of years ago while cruising solo, who said she used to work for MSC, and told me the prettiest ship to go on. My cruising friends would like to check out MSC to EUROPE. Any and all views appreciated, as I can't remember the name of the ship. Thanks Pam

I would love to sell mine, because I won't be able to use before they expire. Not trying to sell them here. Just commenting. 🙂

Thank you fo r that link. Sounds even more expensive. LOL
