7 day Alaska menu will be different to 7 day Med menu which will be different to 7 day Caribbean menu which will be different to 7 day Asia menu which will be different to 7 day Northern Europe menu. Each has small updates each season. @Crew News was informing you that the 7 day Caribbean menus have not been seen yet as the season has not started yet. A current 7 day menu will not be the exactly the same.

Best Cruise company in your opinion?
VMax1700 replied to crusingrightnow's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
The one making the most profit would be 'best cruise company in my opinion'. What relevance would that have to anything? -
Even at the buffet.

Real eggs are used for fried eggs, eggs benedict and poached eggs. You can watch them break open a real egg shell.

Live from the Rotterdam, 14 day Jewels of the Baltic
VMax1700 replied to VMax1700's topic in Holland America Line
Apologies for the break in transmission! Ellen had been feeling unwell and getting very tired, very quickly. We had to rearrange our daily schedule and plans to accommodate the necessary rest and her energy levels. I will finish off the posting of Daily Programs and Menus and then some overall thoughts on the cruise. -
Reason to travel 1-2 days prior to cruise

Oops! Sorry, I thought (presumed) this weekend. Actually i didn't think ar all! -
Zaandam in Port Everglades on October 7, 2023
VMax1700 replied to leerathje's topic in Holland America Line
It is hard to imagine that we are already into HAL Sailaway Season from Port Everglades. I will miss this one as we are disembarking Rotterdam in Amsterdam before the ship heads over to PE for her Caribbean season. Thanks for the reminder. -

I know it really isn't relevant to OP's delay, but this is Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada. May have made a difference with seat availability to YVR. -

She is on board and if I run into her over the next couple of days I will pass on your good wishes to her. -
There have been no BBC movies on Main Stage on Rotterdam this cruise. Indeed I don't remember any mention of BBC movies at all. They have had a couple of first showings - Book Club the next chapter, Fast X, as examples, shown on mainstage screens but not available in stateroom.

If I was a planner (and not just a control freak) then I would be pencilling in the end of November for Rotterdam, between Nieuw Amsterdam and Nieuw Statendam. But I have no idea what is involved in installation; is it a day or a couple of days? Actually I am just mumbling to myself. 😁

The music, dancers, entertainers etc are not listed on the chrononlogical list, but in separate panels of the Daily Program. The are listed chronologically within the Navigator App. Look at the Right half of this recent Daily Program - Presentations/Performances/ Music Walk

AFAIK they send only one email confirmation per FCD. There is only space on the FCD Request form for the one email address, they will all go to that one email account, unless you specified a separate email account for your FCD's. If no email address was mentioned on the request form, then I guess the email address of the lead passenger on the cruise on which the FCD request was made, will be used. I just received the emails for 4 FCD's and they are not consequetively numbered. If you have proof of payment (ie the record of the credit card charge for all the FCD's is should be simple enough to have the missing FCD's restored to the appropriate account.

Rolling Stone Rock Room band were great tonight, but BBKings were outrageously good. They did a Carlos Santana set that was amazing. -
Just off Oosterdam-1st Med Cruise
VMax1700 replied to pirate cruiser's topic in Holland America Line
Thanks. Just hoped that they had got rid of the tubs and fitted showers only. The temperature control is amazing. -

Puspa, the young lady who looks after us in the Lido each evening was beyond excited tonight as she is getting 2 hours ashore tomorrow. That is just so hard to imagine for us. -

Doesn't 'jus de citron' sound so, so much better than 'lemon juice'. Makes you almost want to be French. 😁

Just off Oosterdam-1st Med Cruise
VMax1700 replied to pirate cruiser's topic in Holland America Line
@pirate cruiser Glad that you enjoyed oosterdam. She has been and is an almost permanent resident in the Med. A question you may be able to answer: Do the regular verandah cabins still have bathtubs and plastic (stick to your back) shower curtains or have they been replaced with shower stalls? -
There has been Tai Chi every morning at 8am on Rotterdam this cruise.

Only on sea days.
