I would never have thought of that but it makes sense with all having the same address. I know Nexus can be very strict. Sorry this has happened to you but it is a good reminder to all.

Looks like a fun cruise-Bon Voyage!

Such sad news, I’m so sorry. You and your Dad had great times together and he will be watching over you and I’m sure he hopes you’ll continue to cruise.

lol. Yup, I knew it was a risk but he survived! I let him win a lot at cards too 😂😂

As the other poster stated, have a read through the live thread of the recent 35 day South Pacific cruise. We were on it & enjoyed it-was the longest one we have done. MrBear was getting bored on the last “zillion” sea days back to San Diego but we played a lot of cards etc. The weather is unpredictable but for us, the first few days from San Diego were a bit rough for some but we didn’t find it too rough-cool yes, but not too rough, we did not miss any ports due to weather but did miss Fanning Island because of a medical emergency. Nuka Hiva was the one port we weren’t sure we’d get into as that had rough seas but the Captain waited it out and the tenders made it in. We really enjoy the Koningsdam and have been on it a lot. I am also one that prefers to cruise rather than do a long flight to get somewhere. Hope this helps you somewhat. I’d do this cruise again in a heartbeat but only you can decide if you’d get bored or not like the entertainment (which did lack).

Sorry to hear this. I’m sure it’s always a hard decision for the Captain but we all know safety comes first.

Sounds like you’ve settled right in!!! Have a wonderful time!

We had a few “brunch at sea” on our recent South Pacific cruise. It messed up a lot of people who went down for breakfast in the MDR only to find it was “brunch” and not open yet as it was set hours. I will attach the menu we had.

Will follow along too and hope you have a great cruise!

We just returned from the South Pacific cruise on the Koningsdam and the curtains are definitely blackout ones! We loved the Dutch Cafe on the ship-great lattes & food is included. Wr haven’t been to Alaska in several years so no comment but I’m sure lots will pipe in. Enjoy the ship & Alaska!

Bon Voyage to all! Have a wonderful cruise & smooth sailing!

lol. I had to try it-have heard about it for years. Figured with the HIA might as well attempt it. Made a good try but boy oh boy, was it strong 😳 Even with Sprite being added I would not order that drink again!

That is such a shame. The HAL rep certainly didn’t do her job in my opinion. When we booked with CO, our PCC booked us lowest category of a suite then added CO and put us in the highest category-that is how it should work. I sure hope the CO dining experience improves for you too.

We had the HIA so figured I’d at least try it 🤦‍♀️ never again is right for me either!

@POA1 following along! I hope you know I took one for the team on our South Pacific cruise and tried a Weng Weng (or whatever it’s called). Hubby had to go get me a can of Sprite to keep diluting it 🤦‍♀️ The server thought it was pretty funny.
