frankc98376 Posted February 21, 2014 #27 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) RuthC wishes she could do a conga line the way RuthC used to! :D Kinda tough with a cane. :( We used to have such fun in that bar. There was a can-can line when all the women had to get up and dance; there were toy instruments to form a band. There was a special song played when you entered, and a different one played when a man left to go to the restroom. :o (It would still be playing when he returned. :eek:) SS Rotterdam will always hold a very special place in my heart. She was a grand lady that had so much character and warmth. Stepping on board was like coming home. If I close my eyes I can still smell the unique smell she had throughout.

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 21, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Pub Crawl -- we have been on a few ships when they had them -- all on the Vista and Signature class ships. They are not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyF Posted February 21, 2014 #29 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is it only me or is anyone else afraid to talk above a whisper in there? I'm laughing here because I had forgotten how quiet it was in there. (My one and only time in a suite because it was a good deal as an up-pay and I thought, What the heck! Loved the coffee in there and the sweet concierge.) Ginny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyF Posted February 21, 2014 #30 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sez you. I was sitting in there one afternoon and casually mentioned to a blue haired lady that I was sailing in an inside cabin. The subsequent noise was deafening! I was pelted with finger sandwiches as I fled the scene. Thanks for my giggle for the day-what a mental picture!

HALrunner Posted February 22, 2014 #32 Share Posted February 22, 2014 What are the hours for the NL? What are some of the benefits of the concierge? We are considering our first HAL suite and hubby could use a few more selling points!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol3 Posted February 22, 2014 #34 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We were on Eurodam I-6079 on Upper Verandah deck and the Neptune Lounge was above us, sometimes during the morning we had a little noise of chairs moving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted February 22, 2014 #35 Share Posted February 22, 2014 What are the hours for the NL? What are some of the benefits of the concierge? We are considering our first HAL suite and hubby could use a few more selling points!;) The hours seem to vary by ship a bit and if you are in port or not. Generally speaking, they open around 7:30 am and close around 8:00 pm Benefits of the concierge? Basically they can take care of just about anything you need - so rather than go all over the place or to the Front Desk - the concierge takes care of it for you. So, restaurant reservations, questions, problems (heaven forbid), just about everything and anything you can think of. They even cash travellers cheques or exchange money. If your DH likes coffee - the coffee machine in the Neptune Lounge is superior to the coffee in the Lido. If he likes something light for breakfast (continental), the NL has a nice selection of fruit, yogurts, salmon, bagels, bread, etc. If he likes a full breakfast - the Pinnacle Grill is a nice place to have it (or King's Room depending upon the ship). Much more relaxing and personal than the MDR. Free laundry and dry cleaning is plus as well:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALrunner Posted February 22, 2014 #36 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks Kazu! Is the coffee espresso by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted February 22, 2014 #37 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks Kazu! Is the coffee espresso by any chance? Yes. The machine makes coffee, decaf, espresso and cappuccino - leaded & unleaded. Latte as well. Edited February 22, 2014 by POA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALrunner Posted February 22, 2014 #38 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes. The machine makes coffee, decaf, espresso and cappuccino - leaded & unleaded. Latte as well. That just tipped the scales for me:) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernphoenix Posted February 22, 2014 #39 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Those early morning coffee , lattes and breakfast parfaits to enjoy on the balcony are one of life's sweetest pleasures. We are becoming addicted to the suite life, and the NL is one of the reasons for this. Marilyn Sent from my iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted February 22, 2014 #41 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It can get crazy in there from the noise when they raise and lower the cover on the "snack pod." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
