  2. This thread has been updated at…… https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/topic/3000492-⭐️-⭐️-⭐️-⭐️-holland-america-board’s-future-cruise-listing-updated-good-friday-march-29th-2024-⭐️-⭐️-⭐️-⭐️/ which is where all posts in the coming week need to go. I will not be reading any more posts here.
  3. HOLLAND AMERICA BOARD'S FUTURE CRUISE LISTING Updated March 29th, 2024 We all love to hear what cruises you are booked on. I post the Bon Voyage threads 7 days before sailing so, to be included in this: Post 3 weeks in advance so you aren’t missed. 1st cruise, anniversary, special celebration? Let us know. Details needed are in the 2nd post of this thread. Please use REPLY and not QUOTE when posting to this thread. Using 'Quote' makes a very long thread and cumbersome to read. Don’t mistake this for a Roll Call. Go to the Roll Call Section here on Cruise Critic to find your cruise & sign up.

  5. Good morning all from rainy New Brunswick. It’s going to rain for days before it turns to ice/snow/whatever. Serious concerns if all comes they are forecasting that the Saint John River will over flow. Just a quick post - in a funk and stressed between two things - a financial issue that has been going on for 15 months - got the notice it was paid but they paid the other party and not me. ‘Sigh’. So now I have to wait and hopefully get paid or get nasty again 😞. The most important thing though is that Ivan’s home while I am away has just fallen apart so I spent yesterday calling and starting interviews. It continues today in between my acupuncture appointment. I can get him in my dogs’ old vacation home but he’s never been kennelled and I don’t think at nearly 10 it is time to start. 😞 @ancient warrior Maxine, I am so sorry to hear that your DGD has strep and scarlet fever 😞 I hope she feels better very soon. OMG Dixie @summer slope so very sorry about your accident. I am glad nothing is broken but you are going to be so very sore 😞 I hope you can heal quickly 🙏 Annie @marshhawk & Gerry @ger_77 wonderful that you booked the 2025 Oosterdam cruise 🙂 Prayers for all who need them. Cheers to all celebrating.
  6. Happy to add it for you 🙂 I will get Rotterdam deleted for you. I’d be happy to add the Volendam for you if you would like to provide me with the details.

  8. OP - be grateful there are only 300 there were 600 and 500 on mine. It’s not the children that is the problem - it’s the parents that don’t supervise and It’s HAL’s lack of activities for children. IIRC Club HAL on the Pinnacle Class ships only accommodate 45. I went on several B2B2B cruises to join friends. The 9 day had fewer children. I have no problem with children. I do have a problem with unsupervised children. I still had a decent cruise. My friends were good at finding spots where no one else mobbed it. You need to make the best of the situation - my fault booking at that time of the year but I had no concept of so many children. I stayed on board on our first stop in Cabo to use the hot tub and pool 😂 I normally do much longer cruises so my eyes were opened. My fault for booking when I did. Find your spot and enjoy. Don’t worry about what’s not right but try to find some things that and you will be much happier, I hope. That’s what I tried to do.
  9. Today is American Red Cross Giving Day, International Day of Scribble, and International Whiskey Day I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. - Fred Allen Meal Suggestion for today - Greek Yogurt Hollandaise Drink of the Day - Captain's Castaway Wine of the Day - Matua Lighter Sauvignon Blanc Destination of the Day - Falmouth, England, United Kingdom Today in History: 1513 Spaniard Juan Ponce de Leon and his expedition first sight Florida 1914 1st successful non-direct blood transfusion is performed by Dr. Albert Hustin in Brussels Ship Locations Eurodam Fort Lauderdale, Port Everglades, Florida 7:00-15:00 Koningsdam Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico Riviera 08:00 - 20:00 Nieuw Amsterdam Grand Cayman Island, George Town Harbour 08:00 - 15:00 Nieuw Statendam Grand Turk Island, Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos 08:00 - 17:00 Oosterdam At Sea Destination Manta, Ecuador eta 03-28 Rotterdam At Sea Destination Half Moon Cay, Bahamas eta 03-28 Volendam Papeete, Tahiti Island French Polynesia - 17:00 Zaandam Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico Riviera 09:00 - 17:00 Eastern Hemisphere Noordam Lyttelton-Christchurch, New Zealand 08:00 - 17:00 Westerdam Kobe-Osaka, Kyoto, Japan - 20:00 Zuiderdam Colombo, Sri Lanka 08:00 - 23:00
  10. Oh NO on the chicken pox! 😱. Prayers for your DH’s cardiology appointment with his heart aneurysm - that is a big worry 🙏 @Seasick Sailor sorry to hear of your DH’s report 😔 @LAFFNVEGAS a very happy anniversary to you and Tom 🥂 For crying out loud, if the doctor says you need 9, you need 9. when did insurance companies become doctors?? 😡 It sure looks like a flower to me 🙂 That is great news, Ann 🙂. She still has to be careful and follow the rules though. I’m glad it is minor but a fracture is a fracture and care must be taken until it heals. Best wishes for Pat’s appointment 🤞 You deserve a vacation with all your nursing. I hope you can go on your cruise 🤞 I am so jealous of you and the others with flowers blooming already. I remember being in Victoria shortly after this time of year and was amazed by the glorious flowers, rhododendrons, etc already in full bloom. Absolutely gorgeous. I have a wait to go. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, Roy - but cold water is devastating and does so much damage to the body so fast. I believe the longest a person can survive is just a few hours at the maximum. I am afraid that there will be no miracle 😢. I would be ecstatic if I was mistaken, believe me.
  11. Good Tuesday morning - a grim one with the news. Thanks Rich, Roy, Rich, Vanessa, Ann, Debbie & Dixie. Important days - especially Diabetes & Epilepsy awareness. Always loved the live long and prosper saying by the Vulcans. I like the Tagore quote. The meal sounds great if someone wants to go to the trouble to make it for me 😉 A truly great day in history - the polio vaccine has saved so many. @Heartgrove your pictures of Sam and his height and weight brought my own Maverick to mind. He was my first dog 25 years ago and actually my avatar on CC for many years. May I take you down my memory lane? I had never had a dog - just a multitude of cats and had no idea that this little puppy would grow into this massive 125pound, lean dog who was taller than my waist. Like Sam, he was a true gentle giant. He adored children and was so gentle with them it was incredible. When he passed, the neighbours mourned the loss of the “King of the Hill” He was a real winter dog and I would have to drag him in on days when it was too cold even for him. He would go to the top of highest snowbank and be very content there for some time 🙂 Ivan had his Librela shot today, thankfully. He was showing signs of being uncomfortable and pain the last couple of days. His vet comes next month and I am going to ask about increasing his dosage assuming he is better after his shot. I did some research and it is allowed. Hopefully the shot does the trick. I wish there was one for humans as it seems we have the same problem. Prayers for those on the Care list, those suffering losses, grief, pain, health problems, worries and those that need them 🙏 Cheers to those celebrating and cruising 🥂
  12. I just came on to report too, Roy, It’s horrific. They are searching the water. It sounds like 20 cars, possibly construction workers as well are in the water along with most of the bridge. Absolutely horrific. My prayers for them all and to the brave men and women in the water trying frantically to see if anyone can be saved in the frigid water 🙏
  13. Today is American Diabetes Alert Day, Epilepsy Awareness/Purple Day, and Live, Long and Prosper Day I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. - Rabindranath Tagore Meal Suggestion for today - Lasagna Roll Ups With Cottage Cheese Drink of the Day - Cranberry Hooker Wine of the Day - Pavie 2020 (750ML) Destination of the Day - Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands Today in History: 1953 Dr. Jonas Salk announces that he has successfully tested a vaccine to prevent Polio, clinical trials began the next year Ship Locations Eurodam Half Moon Cay, Bahamas 08:00 - 15:00 Koningsdam Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico Riviera 08:00 - 17:00 Nieuw Amsterdam Ocho Rios, Jamaica 08:00 - 16:00 Nieuw Statendam At Sea Destination Grand Turk Island, Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos eta 03-27 Oosterdam At Sea Destination Manta, Ecuador eta 03-28 Rotterdam San Juan, Puerto Rico 08:00 - 18:00 Volendam Papeete, Tahiti Island French Polynesia 08:00 - Zaandam At Sea Destination Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico Riviera eta 03-27 Eastern Hemisphere Noordam Wellington, New Zealand 07:00 - 19:00 Westerdam Kobe-Osaka, Kyoto, Japan 08:00 - Zuiderdam At Sea Destination Colombo, Sri Lanka eta 03-
  14. I am so sorry to hear about the cold. Bless you for protecting others 👍 I hope you are improved enough tomorrow to get to Danang 🙏 Great news that Ana is making the effort 👏 👍. I know it is a struggle but ist starts that way. Good for her! I am so happy to hear that she is trying. It’s a celebration of her and her spirit 🙂 A very happy birthday to your DS! I am so glad she is home and hope she has the best ever! I completely understand and agree. I can understand your conundrum. I couldn’t handle listening to that if the other person was refusing treatment. What a shame. I hope they arrive before you leave 🤞 Oh darn Joy 😢 I hope supplements and the new diet can help 🙏 thank heavens, Debbie 👍. You are in a difficult position not being guardian but in any emergency you should be allowed to take care of River. The grandmother should be able to designate it, I think.
