Rare Sleep7 Posted March 28, 2023 Author #128 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Meanwhile at BRU.. Hello Diamond Lounge! It wasn't our Delta status or our Amex card that got us in.. it was Priority Pass. I always think that the card is kind of a waste but that morning it was king!👑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisi Posted March 28, 2023 #133 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Thanks so much for taking us along on your journey. We are so looking forward to our Danube cruise this Sept, after many cancellations & re-bookings. Now it looks like maybe we have another cruise to add to our bucket list. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sleep7 Posted March 28, 2023 Author #139 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Exhausted yet exhilarated we are home. It was stellar week in every way.. Yes.. no tulips and rain pretty much every day but no matter.. we had a bloomingly awesome time! There is nothing like a river cruise for pure relaxation and ease. We are scheduled for an ocean cruise next and and then maybe another river cruise this fall. Thank you all for sharing the smiles with me over this past week.. posting about our experiences really brings back all the fun.🤗 Snip, snap, snout.. this tale is all told out! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljandgb Posted March 29, 2023 #142 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Great review, thanks so much! I loved Amsterdam and would love to spend more time there and in the Netherlands in general. A Tulip Time cruise is very much on my radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm truly touched that you read my review and so glad you enjoyed it. A river cruise is definitely different than an ocean but just as wonderful. Each has their overwhelming positives... neither has many (or no) negatives. I hope get to try one soon. We have been on 4 of them and loved each one. Definitely nice to rotate between ocean and river.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your sweet compliments about my blog.. so happy to share the smiles.. and the rain! lol. We have been to Amsterdam a few times and it is a great city.. so interesting and different. If you want to be sure to see the tulips too then maybe book a cruise in April as that seems to be prime time for viewing as it's in the middle of the season.🌷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisi Posted March 29, 2023 #146 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Just in case you are interested......we have cabins available on our cruise in Sept. 🙂 One question though, I hear the new Whisper sets that provide hot spots for wifi can use wireless earbuds. Did you try them? I'll pack mine anyway, they don't take much room, but it would be great if they work. I was going to get a SIM card in Hungary, but if the sets work well, maybe I won't need one.

I'm not sure how they actually worked with wireless earbuds though. We both used the provided wired headphones the whole week. We did use the wifi from the whispers in the cabin for our laptops since it was faster than the ship wifi. My husband who is usually very tech saavy didn't realize that they were a hot spot that could be used off the ship until the last day of the cruise. We heard somebody say they used it that way and that's how we realized that it could. Ah well.. next cruise. I hope it works well for you.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisi Posted March 29, 2023 #148 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Thanks for replying. Not the most proficient with tech, but I do like to play. Glad to hear that they work well in the cabins as we use our evenings to update our trip for family, it will make it easier to post all the photos.

We are just the same. After dinner we just like go back to our cabin and sit like lumps on our laptops. Very relaxing.😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted March 30, 2023 #150 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Well, jeepers. I had no idea the Whispers were WiFi and Bluetooth capable either! Possibly because we basically only had time to grab and go. 😂. I will be sure to investigate that on our next trip. Thank you, again, for your review and pictures. It was really enjoyable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
