cookingmom Posted December 16, 2018 #76 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We will be on the Zuiderdam in March. Cruising along with you might help tide me over till then...I'm hoping you have a great Cabana experience since we have one booked too. Having cabanas in April while on the Eurodam (both Lido and Retreat) made our cruise extra special for our family. Thank you so much for the entertainment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's all antsy about getting to the port. 2 hours ago, Krazy Kruizers said: We know how he feels -- we are always anxious to get to the ship as soon as possible as well. I am the same way. Even if we wind up waiting awhile in the terminal -- there's the ship! Bon voyage Brian! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Gator Posted December 16, 2018 #78 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Have a wonderful trip. The Eastern Airline poster is a favorite. My long-suffering wife-mate was a FA for EAL for many years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBP upgrade accomplished on the first attempt. Shout out to Jude from the Lido. We're happy, happy campers. Which bar did you get the upgrade? Want to do the same on the Noordam next July.

At the Lido pool bar. It has to be done by a beverage supervisor, so just find a friendly waiter or bartender and ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted December 16, 2018 Author #82 Share Posted December 16, 2018 From one of our add on research requests: Is the Crow's Nest still a full bar? Answer: Yes. They have the same liquors and back bar. However, half the circular bar is now devoted to coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Sir; can you also confirm no "Rijksmuseum at Sea" on Zuidy as well as the full Explorations Central” with ‘the Hub’, ‘Destinations Display’, ‘Virtual Bridge’, ‘Theater EXC,’ ‘Journeys Ashore’ and ‘the Library’, in addition to the ‘Explorations Café’ in the Crow’s Nest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. It looks like the full EXC. I'll have to check on the museum that will never pass spell check. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anyone ordering alcohol at opening although I guess they could have so I don't know if the baristas also bartended. In the evenings, at least one of the two bartenders was able to work the coffee side but they were happy when people ordered simple coffee drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted December 16, 2018 Author #93 Share Posted December 16, 2018 When you upgrade from the SBP, you need to turn in your old room key because it's stamped SBP. They'll issue a new one with EBP on it. They charge you for the EBP and credit back the SBP cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they truly credit back the SBP cost, I could come out ahead - I might not have neeed to buy that extra OBC - LOL. Have a fabulous time on board.

Rare POA1 Posted December 16, 2018 Author #100 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Said Candy Cane Martini. $8.50 and SBP eligible. It gives you minty fresh breath. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
