I am sailing on the Nieuw Statendam next May to the Baltics. Can I assume the Scandinavian countries use Euros vs. their own? Thanks,

Bon Voyage

Just booked today: 13 Day Jewels of the Baltics Nieuw Statendam May 5-18, 2024 Girls Trip Three cruises in one year, loving retirement!!!!! If you could be so kind to add, much appreciated…..

Winter 2025 itineraries have been out for a bit, I am booked March 2025….which itinerary are you looking for?

Thanks, I will do that….

It is walkable but it’s a walk…..we Ubered to the Hilton Marina to get the water taxi.

Has anyone stayed at the GalleryOne in Ft Lauderdale lately? Wondering if its an ok spot as I read some good and not so good reviews..thoughts??

I had been eyeing the 9-day Rotterdam itinerary for next March, I wanted to book it, but just never got around to doing it and was still kind of on the fence. The $1 deposit came out, so I booked it, bought my airfare yesterday so I guess I am going and couldn't be happier....

Bummer, thanks for the information, love this hotel and loved the airport transfer, but an uber works just as well.

Doone and Friends Rotterdam March 8-17, 2024 9 Day Seafarer Cruise

Yes, have had issues since yesterday.....

I had an issue yesterday, but today has been fine.

Thank you.

Sailing the Koningsdam Aug 2024, is a 12:45 pm flight doable or would a 1:30 pm flight be better? Thank you….

On the Rotterdam in March, AHA was available at the Grand Dutch Cafe, other sparkling canned water was readily available at the bars I frequented.

I absolutely love the Pinnacle Class ships, however, what I would love to see in a new ship would be take the Pinnacle Class ship and add: the wrap around promenade, the MDR not so open I feel that not having a ceiling so to speak, contributes to the dining rooms on the Pinnacle class ships to being too noisy. I hate the smoke in the Casino, smoke free would be great. More seating in the Lido and a little larger pool aft. Who knows when or what the next ship will be.

We sailed as a family several years ago with my nieces and nephews, back then they were ages I think 5-15 or so. They all loved Club HAL, especially the little ones, but the older ones too met some kids onboard their ages and had fun. When we sailed, Club HAL had fewer kids onboard, but the kids all loved their Club HAL counselors and to this day still sail on HAL and fondly remember their Club HAL days. I think your kids will really enjoy it...........

Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I thought. What i told her is do the 7 day round trip out of Vancouver then head to Denali from Vancouver……

I have a friend sailing with me to Alaska round trip from Vancouver. She is thinking of getting off te cruises ship before returning to Vancouver and heading to Denali on her own. My initial thought is she cannot do this, but thought I’d ask here???? Thanks in advance….

Thank you RuthC, that sounds easy enough!!!

Perfect, great information, thank you so very much…..I am comfortable booking my own air and hotel….transfers may look at through HAL.

This is all great information, but I am trying to figure out if we should book air, hotel and transfers through HAL vs. doing it on our own, any thoughts?

Wondering everyone’s experiences with booking air, hotel and transfers to Vancouver through HAL for Alaska cruise? Thanks,

Thanks everyone, appreciate your help……….
