Is access to the Posh Club free on Epic? Is it also adult only?

Hi, Amy, No, we're not booked on Epic yet. However, I do recall reading about how nice its Haven is. We've only been in Haven once, on Joy. Although we both loved it, we're not fans of indoor pools and we're in the minority here, but I like the fact that the top is open.😆

I recall reading "somewhere" that the Haven on the Epic is the nicest. Is this still true? If yes, can you tell me why.🥺

Thanks for the photos, BirdTravels. I see what you mean Russiamomm about the tables next to the pool. I wouldn't like hat either. No hot tub on the sun deck???? 😒

Does the pool roof retract on the Breakaway? What's your opinion on the Haven area on Breakaway compared to Joy. We were on Joy last year and really enjoyed it, but thought the pool area was a little dark. I'm not really a fan of indoor pools. Everything else was great. DH still talks about having lobster for dinner every night!

But then Cointreau is on the allowed liqueur list.

How about what I consider pool-side drinks like Pina Coladas? I see Virgin listed under "Quench" but not listed at all under Signature (with alcohol). Can we assume if the Virgin is listed, then with the alcohol added it's OK?

Never mind, it's probably because they Contreau instead of triple sec. But they then must use triple sec in their Margherita because that's covered.

I am trying to figure out why a Cosmo is not covered by the package and other drinks with similar ingredients are. A Cosmo is Vodka, Triple Sec, Cranberry Juice and Lime Juice. All of which are in other drinks that are covered. 🤨 Just curious.

Does HAL have a list of cocktails / wines that are covered by the HIA package?

I never said I wanted to be IN my house if a hurricane hit. But you don't have to be thousands of miles away either. I'd like to be close enough so I can get back to survey the damage.

Not here on the West Coast of Florida. We live here, we stay close to home. I would hate to be on a cruise ship if a hurricane hit my house, and there was damage, and my insurance company was telling us to secure the house so it doesn't suffer any more damage from rain. Last year with Hurricane Ion we evacuated to Ft. Lauderdale (east) no traffic, got a hotel room, stayed for two nights, came back to some water intrusion, which we swept out, cleared debris, called insurance company to get our claim in early. If we were on a cruise, we'd be worried sick and trying to get in touch with our neighbors who stayed to find out what was going on.

Can you order cocktails in the Club Orange dining room on Rotterdam?

What are your recommendations for gambling casinos in Aruba?

We were on Serenade in April and had Traditional Dining (early). It was 5:00 PM. We thought it was early but had read about all the problems with Anytime. We got used to it and sort of ended up liking it.

Georgia_Peaches, You were recently on Celebrity's Equinox recently, weren't y ou? I know it wasn't a suite, however, I recall y ou really liked it. Which did you like better?

Thanks for posting. I really enjoy reading your reviews.☺️

We have HIA and our cruise is 9 days on Rotterdam. So based on above, we have a choice of Pinnacle, Canaletto, or Tamarind. We'll probably book Pinnacle. Are there any restrictions when ordering?

What is the Service Charge (gratuities, etc.) for a Vista suite?

Me too. Hope she posts to let us know she is safe.🤞

We were all set to book Seascape, but based on recent posts, we went with a 9 dayer on Holland America's newish Rotterdam instead. We haven't been on HAl since Eurodam was new/ It spends two full days in Aruba (which we like). I'll let you know how we like it.

We usually bring a bottle of champagne with us to drink on our balcony on sailaway (if the cruise line doesn't give us one). Is this allowed on HAL. ???

Thank you everyone.😄

I'm new to Holland American (haven't sailed with them in years). So their site is new to me. Is there a place to see that I have purchased Club Orange?
