Great review. Just a couple questions:
1: Where did you eat in Carcross that you enjoyed so much? We are planning to drive there (DIY), and will have lunch there, but are not sure where we will eat.
We stopped at Caribou Crossing Trading Post as part of our tour and that’s where we had a bbq chicken lunch with all you can eat homemade doughnuts.
2: How many kids were on board?
Because it was July and kids were on school vacation, there were many on board.
3: Do you know the min bet (and odds) for craps?
Sorry, that one I can’t answer as I on,y play slots.
Again, thanks for the great review. We're doing the same trip in 2 (!!!) days :)
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Just one thing to add, since a paragraph seems to be missing. We saw a lot of wildlife as well. Humpbacks, orcas, seals, sea lions, dolphins and eagles. We saw 3 humpbacks on the Tracy Arm excursion alone, staying a good distance from them. A school of about 200 dolphin chased the ship one day.

I will be happy to answer any questions. And please ignore the typos and grammatical errors. I thought I had proofread!

It was no longer there in February. Movies were shown in the Main Stage. It was removed during dry dock in November.

Thanks all! Packing is underway!

I will be following! We board when you disembark!

There is lemonade and ice tea in the Lido.

There will be a sticker on your room card indicating you have the package. Just order from the beverage server. You won’t be charged and you do not need the cup.

For us the Koningsdam would be first with the Nieuw Amsterdam a close second.

There are no free refills. You pay for each glass of soda in the dining room. You can bring as much soda or bottled water on board that you can carry on yourself for use in your cabin.
I don’t think you can bring it into the dining room. Free water in the dining room is not in bottles. There is a fee for bottled water.
Coffee can be ordered for free for room service. Coffee and tea are available free in the Lido 24 hours a day and are served at meal times in the dining room.

We did the med on the Koningsdam last September. We are Canadian and there were a lot of Canadians, Americans and Australian as well as many Europeans. Thee was a wide range of age groups as well. We travelled with our 30 year old daughter and she never felt like she was surrounded by seniors. And she should know, she is a nurse in Long Term Care.

I am too busy having a good time, to worry about such things.

Wasaga Beach? I love Wasaga Beach!
You will need your passport and boarding pass. Also any visas for the countries you may be visiting that require them.

Thanks for that. We love the Koningsdam. Our favourite spots were the Grand Dutch Cafe and the upper pool deck.

We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam last week and the lunch at the Pinnacle was 10.00 both days we had it there.

The European price for laundry was $9.00 per day in the fall of 2017.

Were you in a suite

No, in a veranda.

We just came off the NA and did not have a night light. But, we did find 2 USB outlets on the last full day at the desk, behind the booklets. I took them out of the holder to get some of our paperwork out and found the USB outlets hidden there.

Thanks all! Can’t wait to get out of this Canadian winter!

No library needed for me. I travel with a few hundred, mostly free or library borrowed ebooks. I have a good case on my Kobo and have dropped it without incident dozens of times.

I get an email confirmation while still on the phone with my PCC as well.

We had a guarantee where we were assigned an accessible room. Shower only, no tub. It did not matter to us but it would for you.

Yes, it is completely non-smoking. The only smoking area is one side of the aft pool.
