And we had a medical emergency on the ship very early this morning (around 4am) and we had to make a quick stop at Curaçao. At noon when the Captain did his talk he mentioned it and said the person was having surgery and said thoughts and prayers were with the person and their family which I thought was very kind that he gave us an update. As you long time HAL cruises already know the staff on the ship is simply fantastic.

Damn these new Cabana amenities. I had managed to resist the pastries at breakfast only to have them thrust on me by our efficient cabana guys 😋

Rotterdam! Feb 16-25 Trip Report & Review
Huskerchick replied to MaryBethV's topic in Holland America Line
Thank you Mary Beth for the fantastic review. Your photos were amazing. Sadly HMC is a port stopped that is missed quite frequently, thankfully they are building a pier which will hopefully solve that problem. Can't wait to follow along on your next adventure. -
Rotterdam! Feb 16-25 Trip Report & Review
Huskerchick replied to MaryBethV's topic in Holland America Line
We did Club Orange on the NS and have it booked again on the Rotterdam at the end of the month. It is an extra charge and I admit we would probably only do it on the ships with the separate Club Orange dining room. We liked the smaller room and the extra entrée choice each evening were some of my favorites. They are only open breakfast and dinner same hours as the MDR -
The fries and the ham and cheese sandwich were fantastic and on my must try again list for our Rotterdam cruise next month. They also had a very good espresso martini. Now I'm hungry and thirsty 😂

I'm a Vodka drinker and Ketel One is my normal go to but I do recall the other usual suspects of Tito's and Grey Goose

Gifting adult son a Christmas cruise
Huskerchick replied to Sherry H's topic in Holland America Line
What a lovely gift. An alternative suggestion would be to book your husband in the veranda cabin as a single and then book you and your son in the inside cabin. Once you are on board only you will need to visit the front desk to secure a key to the veranda cabin and your son will be in his right room -
Nieuw Statendam - Current Rock Room Band?
Huskerchick replied to Suncitycruiser1925's topic in Holland America Line
Agree on BB King that's where we spent most of our time and they were very good and Jeremiah did a great job of getting people up and dancing. -
Yay a fellow Huskers. My family is from Omaha. Yes it has been a challenging few years but I'm optimistic about the things Matt Ruhl is doing. We just need to find a QB, easier said then done I know. You'll like the Vista Suite. I found it to be a good size. The only disappointment was the bathroom which I thought was small but we made it work.

We decorated our door on our NS cruise and there were quite a few others who did as well

Nieuw Statendam - Current Rock Room Band?
Huskerchick replied to Suncitycruiser1925's topic in Holland America Line
We are just off the NS and spent some time in the Rolling Stone Rock Lounge. I'm terrible with names but the bass player was from Nebraska, yay fellow Husker, and was very good. The lead guitarist was also quite good as was Tommy the other guitar player. Where they were weak was on vocals . The poor female singer just couldn't quite cut it. They usually did 3 sets and it was generally pretty busy. Not sure how long their contracts were so you may have some different folks. Also shout out to John Lee who was one of the servers in that area. He hussled and once he recognized us always came over to take our drink order. -
Rotterdam cruise review December 15-22
Huskerchick replied to CruisingAndDiving's topic in Holland America Line
Thanks for your review. We are on the Rotterdam the end of March and can't wait -
We have done the Retreat Cabana at least a half dozen times, on our last few cruises and I always find it to be money well spent. The "cabana boys" on the NS were efficient but not nearly as good as some we have had in the past. In all fairness tho on one of the days there was just a single attendant as he lost his helper to the lido pool bar but he certainly did his best. We have one booked again for our 9 day Rotterdam cruise in March and will be interested to see if the new amenities show up.
