Thank you. That is good to hear.

Thank you for all of the good information. I appreciate all of the responses.

Thank you! How was the Volendam? I would like to do the Canada cruise between Boston and Montreal. I see a lot of negative reviews and comments on the ship. How is its condition? Thank you again.

Hello, Everyone: I have not sailed on HAL for a while, so I am not aware if HAL still offers Catholic Mass each day on its ships. Is Mass still offered? My mother would like to sail on a ship that offers daily Mass. Thank you!

Hello, Everyone: I am booked on a June 2025 transatlantic crossing on QM2 and I have noticed, in researching daily programmes from past crossings, including late September 2023, that there is Catholic Mass on board almost every day. Is that particular to the QM2 or the transatlantic crossings? My mother would like to sail on a cruise that offers Mass each day. Do the other Cunard vessels offer Mass every day, and does the QM2 offer it on sailings other than crossings? If anyone knows other lines that offer daily Mass, I would be grateful for that information, too. Thank you all very much.

Thank you for the report. Yes, even the best hotels, cruise ships, etc. have a few spots where things could be better. I was on Oceania's Insignia in September and saw a good bit of rust on our balcony, but it did nothing to damper the otherwise lovely experience of being on the balcony, especially when the ship was moving.

Thank you very much for these. I appreciate seeing these very much.

Thank you very much! I am booked on the same sailing. After weighing alternatives, we booked a BV sheltered balcony on deck 5. I like cabins above and cabins below. Early June should still be cool enough for the sheltered balcony to make sense. I appreciate the link to the daily programmes.

Thank you. I hope that there some correction of all the rust issues about which I keep reading.

I just booked a QM2 westbound transatlantic crossing for June 2025. Does anyone have available copies of relatively recent QM2 transatlantic daily programmes that they could share? Westbound would be better, but eastbound would be helpful, too. I promise to pay it back once we have sailed! Thank you. (Also, does anyone know if QM2 is scheduled for any refit/refurbishment before June 2025? Thanks again!)

Hello! It has been a long time since I have been on these boards, and even longer since I have been to Bermuda. I am traveling with my 87-year old mother to Bermuda in September on Oceania's Insignia. We stop in Hamilton and St. George's. I was hoping that the line might have some appropriate shore excursions, but no luck thus far with their choices. My next thought was hiring a taxi for a half-day private tour in each town. I did this many years ago when my children were small. Does anyone know of a reliable driver or tour operator that I might contact to arrange such a driving tour? Her mobility is limited, so we would want something where we can bring her walker or wheelchair. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or recommendations that you can make.
