I mean, it’s only 7:30 and I usually get up at 6:30, but as I’m an easy coaster, that’s four extra hours! See you at the M&M at 4, Brentt! Absolutely plan on being there. Hope we have a solid turn out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably get up and about in a couple hours. Good morning! Looks like you’re having a much better first sea day than last week. 👍 Hope we experience the same beautiful weather in 4 weeks. Have a few suite questions when you have a chance - Is there bar soap in the bathroom or just the liquid? What about the other usual suite bathroom goodies? Are there Splenda (yellow) and raw sugar packets by the Nespresso machine in the suite and also in the Neptune Lounge? Do they have someone serving food and beverages in the Neptune Lounge rather than self-serve? Did you have to request the evening turndown or did they just automatically do it? Thanks! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 🙂 Have not been to the neptune lounge yet. It's not as convenient when you are in an aft suite. (Edit: My son just walked in with a plate from the lounge and said it is complete self serve.) They only have a container of what I assume is sugar next to the coffee machine. No packets at all. They said turndown was automatic for neptune suites. All of the Elemis items I remember are still there including a bar of soap. They have shampoo and conditioner only in the dispensers through. Soap is also in a dispenser if you prefer it that way.

I really don't have an eye for it and most of my pictures leave a lot to be desired. However, I am happy with that one even if it won't be winning any awards. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a little rougher than they look, but nothing we can’t handle. They’d be murder on a few of my family members, though.

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted August 1, 2021 #163 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Good morning Brentt, I am just now getting a chance to read your review and will be following. Since we will be on board in less than 5 weeks I need to follow for changes 😉😂 Thanks to you and your kids for taking us along on the Nieuw Amsterdam’s second week to Alaska. Looking forward to your posts, trust I will understand your frustrations with the internet and posting to CC . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvertoGold Posted August 1, 2021 #168 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Brentt_M: your posts make for a fantastic read. I like your style: concise, informational, plus great photos (the ocean! the food!). You are taking us on a virtual cruise, happening by happening and this is really enjoyable. Have a wonderful time and thanks for all the time you are spending on this :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeeluvr05 Posted August 1, 2021 #170 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm curious to know what the activity level is on the Lido deck around the pool and Lido cabanas. We reserved a Lido cabana for the week on our sailing in two weeks and wondered what to expect. It's our first HAL cruise. Pics would be great too! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
