    Not that I’ve ever seen. I suspect HAL is the wrong demographic and the liability/injury risk too high. I’d suggest looking for an operator at one of the port stops. Good luck.

    Good luck.🤞

    Ironically, the Elite package was included for our November 2024 Rotterdam cruise when I booked onboard.

    Used it with no problems on our recent Rotterdam cruise. Starlink makes all the difference.

    Have used the dry cleaning several times. Just as good, if not better than the local establishment that charges more.

    Many ports charge a fee per person. This is very common in the Caribbean.

    Just checked for our Rotterdam trip in November of 2024…price for 2 person is $700 and I agree is worth it. We had a cabana on our sailing a few weeks ago and it was perfect. Very quiet with quick and attentive service. Will book again.

    If the berthing spots are full, then yes tenders are used.

    We had good meals in CO, but the worst dessert we had was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. A total miss. Out British traveling companions were completely unimpressed.

    Spirits, by nature of their name, are alcohol.

    I thought it might be tied to having a Neptune Suite. I’m usually not that lucky.😉

    On our recent Rotterdam trip I brought 2 bottles of good champagne onboard. Dutifully signed the corkage fee charge slip during embarkation. The charge never appeared on our account.

    Just off the Rotterdam on Sunday. Used both FaceTime and WhatsApp with 100% reliability. You can thank Starlink. Neptune concierge told me that since it went online they have gone, just in Neptune Suites, from 3 or 4 complaints about internet connectivity daily to about one per cruise.

    Ours started at 9:30 at BB Kings.

    Just off Rotterdam. Our Orange Party was on a casual night.

    The rumor has been going around on this Rotterdam sailing and I confirmed it last night…Rudi’s will be leaving all the ship at year end to be replaced my a restaurant themed to Chef Morimoto.

    Only if the Captain orders them to practice their Dutch dancing in wooden shoes. actually the bridge is normally a quiet as a library.

    We had rack of lamb and the 12oz lobster tail. Both prepared perfectly.

    Currently on Rotterdam and the Starlink is great. Neptune lounge concierge told me that since they have switched to it complaints have dropped from 3 or 4 per day to one per cruise.

    Our dinner at Rudi’s last night on the Rotterdam was spot on. Absolutely no complaints.

    The only downside so far on the Rotterdam has been the smell of cigarette smoke in Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Rock Room. There is a staircase between the two that leads up to the casino. The smoke from the casino flows down and makes the two venues very unpleasant and frankly, stinky. They need to stop allowing smoking in the casino. IMO. We won’t/can’t attend the venues.

    Had to have been a one off. We’ve had a lot of HAL cruises and this trip food had been exceptional. And we are pretty damn fussy. 😂

    Have had dinner in Pinnacle, Tamirand and Rudi’s. All have been to notch as well as Club Orange. Food on this trip has been some of the best. Like the old days. My rack of lamb tonight at Rudi’s was exceptional. Perfectly cooked and presented. Looking forward to another dinner at Pinnacle this trip.

    Currently on the Rotterdam sitting on our balcony watching the world go by. Beautiful day.
