Thank you for posting this itinerary, kazu!  What an amazing experience this must be! 😍

We're boarding the Amsterdam at the end of this World Voyage on May 16th for the 17-day repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal to Vancouver, B.C. (...where I presume the Amsterdam will then be doing the Alaska season).

Never hear much about the Amsterdam but am looking forward to sailing on a smaller ship.

Chinook Wind - We did this last year and stayed on for the first 7 day Alaska voyage as well. We really enjoyed the smaller boat. The food was the best that we have had on any of our many cruises. I hope that you have a great cruise.

Goodness....

Was gonna book a HAL cruise out of San Diego.... I see the Oosterdam for 03/14/2020 thru 03/21/2020 but I see nothing departing 03/21/2020.  Funny when I do the search it say "2 Results" but only one shows.  Just making sure I'm not missing something....  THANKS!

Oosterdam is doing 28-Day Hawaii, Tahiti & Marquesas sailing on 3/21/2020

Actually, John, Noordam leaves Sydney for Vancouver on April 7 2019, according to the ***** site.  Please correct me if that is wrong.

 

April 7 she is doing a round trip to NZ from Sydney,  Sydney-Auckland-Sydney.

Thanks again

 

 

Noordam arrives in Vancouver on May 12 to begin the Alaska season.

Yes she is - based in Sydney. Her next couple of cruises to the islands are sold out. The next available one is Jan 28 heading to Auckland NZ.

I also call to have them remove the tray.

 

While we're on the subject of stuff in the hallways, something needs to be done about leaving the scooters in the hallway.  Back with the arthritic hip, getting past those scooters was very painful.

The scooters that I object to are the ones parked outside the elevators, or at the top of the stairs, and plugged into the powerpoint. So dangerous in an emergency.

Maasdam in Tauranga NZ today.

Yes. We had a Lanai last week and had a DVD player.

Kia ora. Welcome to New Zealand. You are doing a great job selling our wonderful little country. 😀

I hope that you mean 'dusky' rose!! 😀

Go to the notifications page. Scroll down until you see a series on on/off switches. Move any of these that you do not want - to the left.

I'm not happy with HAL or my TA. 

Why is this the fault of HAL?

Yeah OK, but did he bring and wear a sgian-dubh? Just checking 

 

More importantly - did he wear a lèine cròiche or just a smile?

I don't think there was a set time, like there is for the Cellar Master dinner - just book the time you want.

Thank you.

Can anyone tell me what time the Sel de Mer dinner is? Thanks.

How cold does the medication have to be? There is also ice provided in your room twice a day. The cooler/fridge in the room kept my wine a very yummy temperature😀.

How about telling us?

Did you have any problems with noise from the Lido (late at night or early morning). I read a review recently where people complained about it. We are in 7055 to Alaska next year.

No. We had no problems with noise. We were in 7056 for 26 days including Panama Canal and Alaska.

Hear is an example of the zodiac excursions offered on the Papeete to Auckland cruise. This is 2 hours long and costs $US149. Aged 12 and above.

EXC In-Depth offers innovative, expert-led, themed adventures. You are invited to dig deep into one or more theme on each tour -- nature and science, arts and culture, food and wine, history and perspective, or photography and active exploration.

The Explorations team takes you by Zodiac for a cruise along the convoluted coastline of the Vava'u island group. In the shadow of green hillsides, you'll pass tiny villages and wild forests, and make your way to a small island with a picturesque beach. Here you can relax, swim and enjoy this quiet corner of serene Polynesia.

See this thread for more information and photos.

Have a look at aft facing OV on deck 7 (7055 and 7056).7056 has the best view. These are smaller, oddly shaped rooms but we were very comfortable in 7056. Loved having 'our' big deck just outside the window. Google Amsterdam 7056 for photos.

You have to open it in your cabin. You can drink it anywhere.

It must be consumed in your cabin if you have not paid corkage.

Each guest 21 years^ and older may bring one bottle of wine or champagne (no larger than 750ml) onboard in carry-on luggage at the beginning of the voyage. This bottle will not be subject to a corkage fee if consumed in the stateroom.

We did not like the lanai cabin we had at all. It was under a tender and when we had a tender port, the crew was outside of our cabin two hours before we arrived in port getting the boat ready. They were not quiet!

What number cabin was this? Thanks
