NY Times Digest Newspaper: Still available?

[SilvertoGold]

I was wondering if HAL still has the the paper copies of the small NY Times Digest available to pick up around the ship each day.

 

I can see this being on the chopping block, but I hope not!

 

Thanks for your experience on recent cruises.

On the Koningsdam they had these in the Neptune Lounge each day. I didn't look elsewhere for them but would have to think they also have them in guest service desk area.

Just returned from the Koningsdam Sunday. They were also near the service desk and near the coffee bar/games area in the crow's nest.

Sounds like business as usual. Thanks!

On the Eurodam they were all over the place. We grabbed one every day

Thanks. Hope you have another cruise planned!

On our last cruise (early 2015) I always got my copies at the Front Desk each day.

 

Would generally pick up all the English Language sheets and get some news of the world!

 

Cheers,

If you get up too late and don't find any around the ship, ask at the front desk and they will print one for you while you wait!

They have them in the Lido and in the Explorations Café as well.

There's even different versions of the daily news; Canadian, British, Australian, Dutch, German, Spanish................. ;)

I am glad HAL hasn't tossed these papers!

 

I love working my way through the different languages (except Dutch, which is impossible!!).

But no New Zealand version,......... we sit in the Neptune Lounge and read the Australian, English and Canadian versions.

Kia Ora, Thanks for that information, she has been on the Maasdam quite a long time.

Voor sommigen moeilijk, anderen is het gewoon aangeboren 😊 For some people it is, for others it comes naturally 😊

There often are a few piles of them in Lido during breakfast hours.

[scluvsrain]

I just got off the Maasdam and they had the papers every day.

 

Gosh, I don't know what I'd do if they quit printing them. I enjoy reading them while I eat breakfast, or sitting in the theatre waiting for the show to begin, in the evening.

"a little practice"?!

 

Yes, that would be it! You notice in N. America not many schools/universities teach Dutch. Too bad, I think.

That's because it's not a "big" language like Spanish, French and German

In our experience the digests are available in the MDR, at the front desk, in the Lido and sometimes in the library. In addition, you have access to the entire NYTimes paper's content for free via the internet. (no plan required). While it takes a little while to download articles with pictures, you get much more than the digest. Just act with your Ipad or other device like you're logging in to an internet plan, but choose NYTimes without logging in.
