Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are out of noro lockdown as of this afternoon which will be good for the crew. They have been working extra hard to keep things clean.
  2. I wish they didn’t have those honking big amps on either side of the front of the stage. Too loud and they block sight lines.
  3. We were able to move our dining time to fixed late. The lineup for anytime after the first show was horrendous. Last night the service was good. we gave up on getting dessert downstairs a couple of times.
  4. Last January we flew from Toronto to Tokyo on AC and then Singapore Air to Singapore. It wasn’t as bad as I expected.
  5. That's what I thought too from last year and it was aggravating that he never concluded a lecture. Just said that his wife was telling him to stop- so he did.
  6. We were on the Westerdam last February and March. The crew are fabulous especially the wonderful ladies at the main desk. We also had some wonderful Asian entertainers on the main stage. I hope the Japanese have sorted out their cumbersome entry requirements.
  7. The problem with Billboard, for me, is that they perform the same set list over and over. It seems canned and processed. Even the banter between songs is repeated. On BTB cruises it's even more obvious. A single performer can read and adapt to the audience and it's spontaneous and creative and thus, more fun.
  8. I don't remember what it looked like. I just know that I've ordered one on almost all of our cruises in the last ten years. It's strange that it's not offered anymore.
  9. I know I can probably get it onboard. Just wondering why there is next to nothing available to pre-order.
  10. For previous cruises I have always pre-ordered a bottle of Remy Martin as a treat for DH to our room. There are none listed on the website now. Only one vodka, gin, bourbon and scotch. Is this something new? Will I be able to purchase once we are onboard? We don't have the HIA package as I don't drink alcohol at all so it's not worth it to us. We are on the Koningsdam in mid February.
  11. You got my hopes up with your topic title. Short answer is no except for a slight discount if you pay for wifi ahead of the cruise.
  12. We were on the Zaandam on Christmas last year. They had goose on the menu. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had on a ship. I hope you get a chance to try it.
  13. We've done it twice and are considering doing it again. We've had all sorts of weather from sunshine to rain and even snow. It's awesome! We love the ports in Chile and Argentina too. Falkland Islands are great.
  14. We were onboard last year. New Year’s Eve party was dressier than others but it was the full gammet from evening gowns to polo shirts. The dinner menus were varied. I had a delicious roast goose dinner at Christmas.
