Rare Rubyfisch Posted May 28 Author #152 Share Posted May 28 We did the 1 pm trivia ... It was quite difficult, but fun. Now enjoying some virgin mojitos and the waves .... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytotravel Posted May 28 #153 Share Posted May 28 Enjoy reading your post while on the ship as I will be boarding on Saturday. You can never tell about the weather in the Maritimes but luckily you seem to be able to go with the flow. That's the only way to fully enjoy a vacation. Looking forward to your take on the Orange Party and the afternoon tea. Take care, happytotravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBC73 Posted May 28 #155 Share Posted May 28 We will be boarding in Boston on June 8th. My wife loves the piano bar. Any chance you know who the piano player is? Some of them we have met on prior cruises. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddycat Posted May 29 #162 Share Posted May 29 Thanks for sharing your trip with us- the older R-class ships are classic HAL to me. There’s a Labor Day trip on Volendam that looks great to me (it’s a crafter’s cruise) but that’s prime hurricane season for this Katrina/Irma survivor. What is your impression of the public lounge spaces, especially the comfort of seating and background sounds? On my recent 29-night K’dam cruise, I was longing for a different experience.

I've yet to sit anywhere that isn't comfortable, and it's generally pretty comfortable noise-wise. Obviously, if they are doing trivia or bingo, you can hear that where they are doing it, but otherwise I haven't noticed any annoying background noises. I do find the public areas to be kind of weirdly cut up. Probably good from a sound insulation point of view, but it just feels kind of disjointed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rubyfisch Posted May 29 Author #167 Share Posted May 29 They don't seem to be doing shared tables at breakfast, which I'm a little bit disappointed with. I'm a breakfast person, my partner isn't. I don't mind eating alone (I can Duolingo and read my book and update this review), but I like the choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all there is - other than the room with the grand piano and the rows of chairs. There also isn't really a separate library - the books surround the whole area.

Starboard side of the ship. Enjoying your review very much, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
