Were you notified the night before that as a ***** you would not be given priority boarding? If not, how would you know ahead of time? Normally, we get a note the night before our first tendering that we don't need to get a tender ticket and to just head to the tender when we want. I'm asking as we're on a private tour out of Bar Harbor on the VOV which just happens to be the first port of call. We arrive @8 and our meet time on shore is 9:30. The vendor said to allow 30 min. for tendering. I thought this would give us ample time with our 5 star mariner status, but DH has me questioning the reservation. Thanks for any insight.
It was in 2018 on the Noordam. Guests signed up to swim across the Lido pool, climb out, and kiss the fish. It was so well received that there were two lines going. Prior to and after the ceremony
anyone could kiss the fish.
Yes, but that was back in the day that we, as polywog passengers, actually got to partake in the festivities, swimming across the pool and kissing the fish. A fond memory. I think it is only crew now in the brink.
We have sailed on both the K'dam and and Niew Statendam. Both times we had early fixed dining, both times we were seated on the lower level, and both were excellent dining experiences. We have also had early fixed dining, seated on the lower level on other classes of ships. Never been an issue.
Several years ago while vacationing at Whistler DH jokingly asked our personable sever why Canadians say, "Eh." His response was, "The same reason you Yanks say, 'Uh.'"
We enjoy following your blog, as well as those of the others onboard the world cruise. Just a bit curious as to what perks President Club members get above and beyond 5 star perks.
Tim,
That was us, Ed and June. We were a bit concerned that possibly you were quarantined because we never saw you after getting off the plane. Bon Voyage and safe travel.
