Glad your weather improved. Have really been enjoying your reports and photos.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question about the roomette size on Amtrak. Since this next trip is just myself, it will be fine - not sure how comfortable it would be for two on a cross-country journey. Did look at the larger rooms, but the cost was too significant for this trip. Appreciated your comment about how you planned to stow your luggage. Very helpful for someone who tends to "overpack". It's often the details that can make a good trip a great one.
Really enjoying your posts. Thank you.

Thank you for taking us along on your amazing journey and thanks very much for your comments on Amtrak. Am considering a trip next year on Amtrak and the pictures of your roomette were very helpful. Didn't realize how small they are. My last train trip was decades ago so now I have a better a better idea of what to expect. Still looking forward to being on a train again, though.
Thank you.

Just off the Maasdam on Monday. We were on the Main deck and had an A/C problem. We couldn't turn off the A/C - way too cold. The next day the thermostat unit was replaced and everything worked fine.
Have a wonderful cruise.

Many, many thanks for your sharing your journey with us. Your wonderfully descriptive and entertaining reports have been so enjoyable to read.
Yes, there certainly is a difference in "grand" voyages, perhaps less so than in the past, but still special. Looking forward to hearing about your "second" cruise home.

Thank you for taking us along with you on an incredible journey. It was been so enjoyable reading about your travels and the daily activities aboard.
Thank you again for all your time and effort. Safe travels home.

Just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful reports. I will certainly miss them. Very much looking forward to hearing about your next adventure and certainly appreciate your time and effort to "take us along".

Thank you for sharing your Disney "adventure". We are planning a family cruise in the near future, but with five (3 children) it's been difficult to find the right cruise line so we can be in one cabin. Finally decided to look at Disney and they certainly seem to cater to families with their cabins. The extra bathroom space is certainly a plus. Now I just have to decide if I could handle all the Disney mania and that many children.
Thanks again for taking us along with you. Will miss your reports with my morning coffee.

Though I didn't use the hot tubs, spent a good amount of time out there. Nice place to have lunch in good weather and always plenty of loungers. Not usually very crowded (though it was during the Mexico portion of our cruise.) One of the more quiet places on the ship especially in the evening. Nice little bar on one side and pizza on the other. Enjoy your cruise.

Just off the Veendam and for the last six days did not have internet at all. Was told that a technician was boarding in Ensenada to work on the problem. Hope that it got fixed. Connection time was also very slow when I was able to access the internet prior to Hawaii. On previous cruises, have had pretty good luck using the internet but not this time.

Thank you so much for taking us along. Your posts are so descriptive I can almost imagine myself there, too.
Safe travels across the Atlantic.

I've used both the laundry and dry cleaning services and have found it seems to vary somewhat depending on the ship. Usually it has been very good, though I won't send anything that may shrink like cotton shirts. Recent experience on the Veendam with dry cleaning was not good. Clothes came back barely ironed and still not clean even after re-sending them.

Thank you so much for the pictures. We were able to see her in Rotterdam during a cruise on the "new" Rotterdam a few years ago. It would have been wonderful to have sailed on her.
-
Thanks for posting. We plan to be on this cruise next year. Glad the plumbing problem got fixed.
-
Thanks. Enjoyed seeing the video knowing we will be sailing from there on Saturday.
-
Thanks so much for the nice review. We will be boarding on Saturday - our first time on the Veendam. We booked primarily because we can drive to San Diego (avoiding the stress of flying) and all those lovely sea days back and forth to Hawaii.
Appreciate hearing your positive comments.
-
Very nicely written review and enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing with us.
-
Have really enjoyed your very funny and entertaining stories. Will certainly miss them, so hope there will be another adventure that you share.
Hope your missing backpack arrived safely.
-
I will second that - very creative and humorous. Who cares about typos when the reading is so entertaining. Thank you again.
-
Thanks again for my morning entertainment. Will be thinking about all your "advice" next month when we're on board. Guess I'll bring my own prunes.....
-
Thanks again for taking the time to post and I now have a new phase to use - "dork dots". Too funny, but certainly descriptive.
-
They put a smile on my face, too. Appreciate the information on the whale watching tour - will look for them when we go.
-
Thank you - thank you for incredibly entertaining and funny reports. I can certainly relate to being passed on the Promenade Deck.
