Thanks for that Vmax all very helpful. I see there's only real whisky on there! Enjoy the rest of your cruise .

Thanks Vmax ,any information would be great. Have you got/had a Yamaha Vmax by any chance? Sorry about the whisky but Im from Scotland ,we have the real stuff !

Could you post how much a Beer,Gin & Tonic and a Malt Whisky is (costing individually) please ? Wont be having a drinks package on my next trip so just curious! Guessing it will be in US Dollars Sorry Im in Uk!

Can I ask how you got there? Local transport or tour guide .

Yes ,might be seriously dischuffed but will wait and see and hope it all turns out good! Thanks folks for your input .

Just wondered how you stand when your cruise choice was based on certain locations and if you are likely to be able to change cruises if these ports are then removed? I have a cruise with HAL stopping in Alexandria and Istanbul in September and its a 14 day cruise so these stops were the main reason for going . Given troubles in eastern Mediterranean Im wondering if we will still be going ! Has anyone any experience with this type of scenario?

Good to know about the water bottles on Hal,will have to keep that in mind .

Can I ask another couple of questions! Is there a self service laundry on Niew Statendam ? Can you access your bill on the cabin TV like I could on the Celebrity ships?

Thanks everyone for your information, looking forward to my first Hal cruise .

Will also be a first time HAL cruiser in September. Can anyone say if its ok to fill your water bottles in the buffet area for taking to your room ? Is there a burger/hotdog/Grill for included snacks on the sundeck like on Celebrity ships?

Has anyone done a cruise that incorporates The Golden Triangle stopping to tour india?

Thanks everyone for your advice . ,will probably not get my husband to take a tux!

Going to be a newbie with Hal in September on Niew Statendam ,normally a Celebrity cruiser so looking forward to comparisons . Not sure what the deal is for Gala nights, is it smart casual or proper dinner attire ? Guessing its not full formal wear but like to check . Can anyone comment on if we get free drinking water in our cabin?

Has anyone been on this particular cruise and could comment on the quality of this added tour? Im interested in this trip for the future and perhaps a big birthday . What were the hotels like? Nothing seems to say where you will stay or what the transfers are like . Any information too about the rest of the ships itinerary much appreciated .
