  1. Why would anyone want a Cabana, if they have a balcony?

     

    I don't know much about them, so I would like to understand what is so good about them that people spend extra for them.

     

    I am not being critical of them, I am just seeking information.

     

    I did a search here on CC about them and found out a lot about the cost and how to rent them, but nothing on the advantages of them.

     

     

    We really enjoyed the retreat cabanas on the Eurodam a couple years back. Here are a few things we liked best

    1. Relaxing in a secluded area that's not overcrowded

    2. Service from the cabana attendance was excellent.

    3. We enjoyed the amenities that came with the cabana such as free bottled water, sparkling wine, fresh fruit plates, chocolate covered strawberries and gelato.

    4. Loved the fact that they would provide you with lunch menus and deliver your items right to your cabana - which is perfect when you want to avoid the Lido chaos.

     

    These are just a few things that we really enjoyed about the cabana. Booked the cabana for 21 days on the Koningsdam sailing 23rd of November. Really looking forward to being spoiled [emoji847]

  2. And you need to do some thinking about whether you want to really get spiffy for only two nights...or not.

    Mr. Jim, hope all is well with you and Karen. Just booked the Koningsdam 11/23 for 21 days. You and Karen come with (promise won't call you mud) [emoji12][emoji12]

  3. I mailed my passport renewal on Sept. 13 and got the new passport back on Sept. 22. Didn't pay for any special or expedited handling or mail service. I was amazed at how fast it was processed. Just throwing this out there for anyone renewing their passport.

     

     

     

    Just went into the online check-in for my December cruise on the Eurodam and updated my passport information.

  4. Just checked our roll call for that cruise (Zuiderdam - January 25) and we were on the same ship. The MDR was DEFINITELY open that day and I still have the receipt for a bottle of Moet & Chandon Brut to prove it ;)

     

     

    Did we ever have the meet and greet? I thought it was scheduled for the day in half-moon Cay. Went to the crows nest at four and there was another event going on. Perhaps I missed something.

  5. We just returned also from the Zuiderdam Panama Canal cruise (early February, maybe just before you) and the MDR was definitely open for us on embarkation day :confused: :confused: :confused:

     

     

    Sailed on the January 25th and also on the February 5th sailing. The January 25th we didn't board until 2pm or so, so might have missed it. If it was available for February 5 it was not advertised. I did feel that the food on the Zuiderdam was excellent.

  6. Hi,

     

     

     

    My husband, parents and I are going on the Zuiderdam on March 18 through the Panama Canal.

     

     

     

    We are all 2 star Mariner's although my DH and I will hit 3 star on this cruise, although I know we don't get any additional perks until the next cruise.

     

     

     

    I heard that they do not offer the Mariner's luncheon any more on embarkation day. Besides the Lido is there anywhere else that is available to us for lunch? Don't know if it makes a difference but we have 2 Neptune suites.

     

     

     

    My parents are 94 and 95 years young and the Mariner's luncheon was always a nice way to start the cruise with out it being too busy.

     

     

     

    Also, do they still offer the luncheon at the end of the cruise for Mariner's? I forget what it was called but it was a sit down dinner and usually you got a gift. On the Eurodam it was a ceramic square with the picture of the Eurodam on it. Thanks!

     

     

    Just returned from a B2B on the Zuiderdam and lunch in the MDR was not an option on embarkation day [emoji17].

  7. I know there was a thread not long ago regarding changes to muster drill and some ships didn't require to bring lifejackets. Has anybody recently been on the Regal Princess and if so were lifejacket required at the drill? Thanks for your help.
