We are scheduled on this cruise but in November and due to all that is going on with the planes, pilots, luggage, testing and masks for the cruise, we have decided to call and cancel our cruise.  Just don't want to take the chance plus we are not thrilled with driving 3 days to get there if we don't fly.  Good luck with your decision.  

We book it at time of booking and usually ask for a table for 2, late dinning.  Happy to say, we have always gotten our request.  

Loved both videos.  Can't wait until they are back. . . 

I received it a little while ago and I'm glad he was able to resume it.  Very interesting details.  

I know this may sound lame, but I'm curious - - where do they dock their ships for 30 days. . . . 

This may be the reason, government raised their warning level to a 4 - Do Not Travel.  But it could be another reason too.

Sinaloa state – Level 4: Do Not Travel

Do not travel due to crime.

Violent crime is widespread. Criminal organizations are based and operating in Sinaloa state.

Travel for U.S. government employees is limited to the following areas with the noted restrictions:

• Mazatlan: U.S. government employees may travel by air or sea only. U.S. government employees are limited to the Zona Dorada and historic town center, and must use direct routes when traveling to and from those locations and the airport and cruise terminals.
• Los Mochis and Topolobampo: U.S. government employees may travel by air or sea only. U.S. government employees are restricted to the city and the port, and must use direct routes when traveling between these locations and to and from the airport.

I just received an e-mail from Orlando regarding this new temporary cancellation policy.  Same as what is on their web site.  

Don't know if I should be asking this here or not, but I'll give it a shot.  Has anyone heard anything regarding this virus as far as it being in the Caribbean?  We are headed that way in a couple of weeks and are now debating on whether to cancel or not.  We  are driving there and would hate to get quarentined.  I hate that this is ruining everyone's cruises.  

Merry Christmas and the happiest of the New Year.  Also thanks for the daily fleet reports.  Always interested to see where the ships are located.   🎄

We bring some duct tape to tape down the cord so no one can trip on it.  

Wonder if that's because passengers from the Niew Amsterdam are transferring to either of those ships.  Of course don't even know if that is possible.  

Transfer to her new pier is almost complete.  Only took them 45 minutes to do it, but she is there.  

Just curious on how she came out of dry dock.  We were suppose to be on her now, but had to cancel our 19 day cruise due to health problems.  Was looking forward to the trip.  Oh well there will be other cruises.  

Was looking forward to see how she was spruced up. . .   

I need a frig for my meds too.  Have rented one most of the time (had to go to the infirmarary once to keep it there).  They have been on the desk and under the desk.  On the Rotterdam last year in a lania and they put it under the desk.  I put not only my meds, but i bring a couple of sodas on board that I put on and DH gets extra milk in the lido that we put in there too.  Works for us.  Good luck and have a good trip.  

Have been trying to get on the port cameras and haven't been able to get on even Port Everglades.  I guess with the hurricane everyone else and their brother is trying to do the same.  I was able to get on about 4 hours ago and there were around 7300 other viewers on Nassau but since then, nothing.  How have others been.  Just curious.  

There isn't self-service laundry on the Rotterdam.  But their laundry service is very good.  We used it once and now we are hooked.  The last bag we fill, we have folded so when it is returned, we just pack it.  Already clean and folded.  

I had a small panic attach too, but then I entered our confirmation number and there it was, we had a reservation.  😎

Happy Canada Day.  Hope it is awesome.  

On the Rotterdam instead of a reserved sign on the wall, they just have them embroadered and they are each lanais chair.  We had no problems

No.  We just used VIP and they were great.  But I do wish Tampa had the Luggage Direct and we wouldn't have had to fine out luggage.  We thought we could just sort of disembark go straight to customs and then to the airport.  Didn't work that way, we had to find our luggage and take it to the airport and check it there.  

Luggage Direct picked it up at the airport and delivered it to our home about 3 hours later.  

Have an awesome cruise.

On the Rotterdam too.

We were on the Rotterdam in February for 21 days and wanted DH sports coat dry cleaned and were told they don't dry clean any longer.  They pressed it, but that's all.  The service was still on the list.

Congrats on becoming a 4 star.  We are close, but no additional star yet.  

Have stayed at the Cambria Suites a couple of times.  We usually drive and they have a park and cruise special.  The rooms were great and had no problem with the parking for 14 nights.  I'd certainly go back.  

Have an outstanding cruise.  

Had one of these cabins on the Rotterdam in December - 3341 and really enjoyed it.  Rented a refrigerator too because of meds I take.  Would get one again when we go again.  It's great to be able to go out onto the lower promenade and know there is a chair available for you.  

WOW, it's actually working better - - - for now.  Will keep fingers crossed. . 🤞
