We were on a two week cruise on Nieuw Statendam, in Club Orange. A few of the wait staff were very engaging and we wanted to add a tip in addition to the Daily charge. It is very awkward to tip one and not another on the QT. So, in the last couple of days, we slipped our waiters a bill in a handshake (cheesy I know). However, we unexpectedly did not go to breakfast in CO on disembarkation day and missed out on tipping another favourite waiter. Hard to know how we should have done it!

@Host Jazzbeau. That link just takes me to a form for brochure request and sign up for emails. Did I miss something? -
We were on it a few years ago. As you say, older ship but we found the food and service to be better than the larger ships - at that time! Curtain on the shower, unfortunately!!

Rotterdam! Feb 16-25 Trip Report & Review
CruiseIreland replied to MaryBethV's topic in Holland America Line
Loving your review! You are, clearly, a keen photographer and your photographs are so much better and more thorough than the snaps I took on Nieuw Statendam a couple of weeks ago in an identical stateroom. -
Same! Within 48 hours.

Currently on N. Statendam, World Stage shows last week were at 7.30 and 9.30. I seem to recall our first couple of cruises, on Royal Caribbean, had early shows for the later dinners and vice versa. Seemed logical at the time!

Currently on Nieuw Statendam and we are blown away by BB King All-stars and the Rolling Stone Lounge band. Each does 3 shows per night and we alternate between them, after dinner. By far the best live music on any cruise of ours. Our kind of music, loud yes!

On Statendam, game shown in World Stage and at Lido poolside with some food provided. Condolences to 49er fans!

Thank you for your replies. We will fly into Miami International and will need to get to a hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Larry's Limos quoting $143! Booking.com quoting $73 for a standard taxi, not including tip. We will have 2 check in cases and 2 carry ons.

Is the shuttle included in the tri-rail fare? Can I confirm that we can get tri-rail direct to Fort Lauderdale? Is that FLL airport or is there a downtown Fort Lauderdale option? Thanks, Ken

New bar menus for 2024 with some welcome changes
CruiseIreland replied to relmondcrsise's topic in Holland America Line
Looking at the package and menus, how best can I order my bourbon and diet coke? Does that count as 2 on the SBP, ditto for my wife's G&T? -
I booked the Key at 18.99 pppd as it is only a dollar more than the Voom package. However, I thought that I read that it included 20% discount off the speciality restaurants, arising from which, I cancelled the dining package. This purchase does not show on my account/app but I have the email confirming the purchase. Anyone know if the restaurants discount applies?
