LAFFNVEGAS Live from the Nieuw Statendam December 10, 2023

Whilst spitting at someone may be interpreted as assault, I would think that spitting in their food is not assault, but food tampering or criminal damage. After all, your person was not assaulted, it was the food that was 'assaulted'.

HAL has a new website...Naturally it doesn't work!

The latest 'upgrade' seems to have removed the facility to recall 'favorite' cruises. You can still mark them as favorite, but there does not seem to be a way to recall them. Also it seems that the 'Recently viewed cruises' section has been removed from the home page. -

I have looked on the app for our upcoming April Nieuw Statendam cruise and it does not mention any $5 additional charge. -
Working fine for me over in Europe (different server??) including being able to book shore ex.

Many places in Europe are now tap and go on your card. Scandanavian countries are even more so. Indeed, the Irish Govenment is currently considering legislation to force businesses to accept cash! However to answer your question, yes you can purchase currencies at the 'usury department' oops sorry, front desk! You will pay!

Have it all package pricing keeps changing
VMax1700 replied to ghstudio's topic in Holland America Line
$49.95 x 28 days = 1398.60 +18% gratuity = $1650.35 However if you do the calculation as $49.95 +18% grat = $58.94 x 28 days = $1650.32. HIA price is inclusive of gratuity. -
I have checked various official websites and it does appear that we Europeans can view this wonderful "Bubble of Awesome" in which you travel, without the necessitity to apply for any additional visas, either real or virtual. Really looking forward to the results of your research, specially if it is in 12 point! 😉(Elite and not pica!). Have a great cruise!

There is now a 'Log in' icon on the home page, top margin RHS and..... surprise, surprise, It works! -
I have just checked the price in the euro zone and it has gone from €45 per day to €65 per day. That is one heck of an increase! 45% 🤔

Probably same wine, different mark-up 😁

Can I make main dining reservations in the app?
VMax1700 replied to newtocruiseinblue's topic in Holland America Line
From memory it only offered early (ie 5.30pm) or late (after 8pm) on the app. It was necessary to go to the desk or phone. -

Well I just logged in to my account and it worked fine, until........ I selected "Manage my cruise" from the home page, then "Build your experience" and then "Dining Reservations". I was impressed when it told me that we had multiple cruises booked and offered me the two correct booking numbers. I selected the one I wanted and was a bit surprised to see that instead of a 14 day Med cruise, I was booked on a 7 day Alaska cruise on a different date! Maybe I won a free cruise?? 😁 Anyway, do note that although the cruise is in May 2024, the countdown clock is telling me that we depart in 30 days. Also again the cruise is in May 2024 and First Payment is showing as due on July 1st 2024. Now I am totally confused!- 127 replies

Maybe stay overnight in Naples and visit Pompeii and/or Herculaneum if you have never visited the area previously?

Remember that the Baggage claim area in European airports is 'Airside' and there is no public access, also once you exit the area, you will not be able to re enter. So either wait within the baggage claim area or go to the cafeteria as suggesed by euro cruiser. One other small thing is, as far as I remember, the information screens in the baggage area only show the carousel number to which each flight's baggage will be delivered. They do not show expected arrival time, so if one of you has a delay, you could be hanging around for a time.

Just checked our 14 day NSDM cruise in April/May 2024 and it currently shows every night available for both Pinnacle Grill and Sel de Mer, however Tamarind has two nights 'greyed out', so I am thinking Indonesian Rijsttafel on one and Morimoto on other.

That is what I thought too, but still live in hope!

I believe that some cabins in this area have requests to keep the drapes closed during hours of darkness and not to use the verandah light, due to light wash towards the bridge.

As non alcoholic drinks do not count towards the limit/target of 15 on the Elite package, can we get the larger alumimium cans (screw cap) of water, or are we still restricted to the pull tab cans?
