Ordering 6 bottles of wine and not getting 50% discount. 😭

Medallion recognition is different to and independant of, star recognition. Medallions are awareded based on actual sailing days whereas stars are awarded based on sailing days + suite bonus (if booked) and spending/HIA. But I know that you knew that 😉 Recently Pins were always on the bed after evening turndown or in the stateroom mailbox.

except the Irish! 🤣

Hi Jacqui. Sorry if I was unclear but our Oosterdam 10 day cruise is 14th May 2025 and not 2024 as listed. My fault! I looked at my request and the date I requested is ambiguous. So 2025, May 14th, 10 day on Oosterdam. Apologies, Colin

Indeed I have. Thank you!

Can you give me a few details? Dates and which charter it is? I will be updating the Dry Docks, Charters and Groups thread over the next few days.

go raibh maith agat. (Thank you! Irish!)

Thank you! I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is crackers. 😉

Sometimes I felt that I was the only one who didn't watch it. We should start a support group 😁

You are reading my mind!

It was a tuna salad in a Roman Rye bun. It was really good. Got it in a cafe near the Vatican.

Sorry I am late to the party, but have a great cruise! Rome is a wonderful start to any cruise. Love the snacks!

$16 x 14 x 2 = $448 I seem to remember it was $10 per day per person to upgrade from regular to elite, but now it is usually more practical just to pay the difference in price between the charged price and the $11 per drink allowance (+18% grat on the difference).

Welcome back Jacqui! Where do you get the energy from? Is there a secret source? You are only home and already updating the Future Cruise List. Amazing! So, please put us down for Oosterdam May 14 -24 2025, 10 day Western Med Medley with Malta overnight. Our 50th Wedding Anniversary cruise. Thanks! Colin

When is your cruise? I have used staxi.nl several times in Amsterdam and found them reliable. There is the advantage that you have a firm quoted price for the journey. If you take a taxi then you are subject to the vagaries of taximeters and navigation systems 😉 When we disembarked there were quite a few taxis waiting for a customer.

The slot is for 15 minutes. If you are there late, then you lose your slot and go through the regular line.

I asked this question of two beverage servers on Rotterdam earlier this month and the answer was that they personally received the tips if their name was on the receipt as the server. I am not sure how it would work in Speciality restaurants unless the wait person also got drinks and the receipt could be signed. I don't recollect anything having to be signed for the meal itself, nor was a receipt offered for signature for the drinks.

I am wondering if HAL used an incorrect exchange rate for the pre paid rate for UK cruisers. If they used the euro/dollar rate instead of sterling/dollar rate and then the amount tp be credited to the onboard account would be incorrect and on a 10 day cruise would (according to my rough calculations) be the equivalent of $15.50 approx.

Our flight was actually at 3.50pm and we took the last transfer bus. I was replying to the poster who asked about their flight at 1.30pm. I stated that we departed the terminal at 10.00 am and that they should have no problems if they departed earlier than we had done.

I don't think I would bother with the appointment for a 1.30 flight. Disembark 8.30 and through the terminal by 9.00am. Grab a taxi (many of them outside the terminal or if you want to pre book try staxi.nl). You will be at the airport by 9.45 and that gives you almost 4 hours.

I know you asked about 'larger verandah cabins' but the largest verandahs are 4152 and 4154

https://www.schiphol.nl/en/page/timeslots/ Just as a data point, we took a ship shuttle from ship to airport, which departed at 10.00 am (on a Saturday) and we had checked luggage (already checked in), cleared security and passport control and arrived to the KLM lounge by 12.15pm. We had a long walk from the shuttle drop point to the KLM luggage drop and then went to the wrong security line (my fault, habit) and DW is a slow walker. However there were lines at bag drop, security and passport control. A 1.30 flight would give me no worries, as I would just leave earlier than we did.
