  1. These guys were on the Enchanted in November and always drew a big crowd. They are very talented! Your review and all the pics are fabulous. Thank you for taking the time.
  2. We won a day pass for the Sanctuary on a recent Transatlantic. It was fairly quiet so they let us have a cabana too.
  3. The pho looked amazing. We are doing this cruise next spring, so I just wanted to thank you for taking time out of your holiday to share your pictures and experiences. It is very much appreciated. Looks fabulous 🙂
  4. We were just recently on the Enchanted and upgraded to premium when we got on board. We had no issues whatseover and were easily able to book our two specialty restaurant reservations, one even a few days later into the cruise.
  5. Just took advantage of the 45% off premium drink package sale for a cruise in March 2025. As much as I dislike putting out the money for a cruise well over a year away, I just can't justify not doing so. A cup of coffee, some water, two or three drinks and it's paid for. And who knows where the prices will be in 2025?
  6. Hi @Ombud. Ours was shipped on the 31st and we just received them today. But we don't check our mail every day so they might have been there for a few days already. Can't believe we board one week today!
  7. Skywalkers! We did a 30-day South America cruise and spent a lot of lazy sea days there just reading, relaxing and taking in the scenery (and perhaps napping haha). Sometimes they do have things going on there but usually not for very long.
  8. We spent several days in Cape Town last year both pre and post safari and I can highly recommend https://africanmoonadventures.com/. Ian is great - very personable and passionate about his country. When we go back we will definitely use him again. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities we have ever seen. As others have said, Robben Island is easy to do on your own and ubers are dirt cheap there too.
  9. I'm sorry this didn't work for you. We were able to do it on the Koningsdam a few weeks ago without issue.
  10. We just booked a recently released cruise onboard the Koningsdam. I am getting confused by the terms now but we received the HIA package with premium drinks and wifi as well as extra Mariner OBC. This on top of the OBC for booking onboard. The booking was transferred to our TA and we have retained everything. Not sure if this helps.
  11. Hi - hoping someone might know the answer to this. We have two cruises coming up in the next six months and are looking at purchasing travel insurance. My husband has just been contacted to join a clinical trial based on a past one he has done. It would involve a medical procedure as well as medication if he is selected for that arm of the trial. He hasn't been diagnosed with anything.This is all just for the sake of research and a trial for which he has volunteered. Does anyone know whether that might interfere with him getting travel insurance? We will obviously check with the insurance company but thought someone might know.
  12. Boarded in Vancouver two weeks ago and no one was asking about assigned times. There was a priority line and then just the general line. Based on the number of people in the general line, no one was paying attention to their assigned times.
  13. Great place for lunch. We also had several on sea days during a Millennium cruise.
  14. I always bring a thick elastic band with me to hold down the button. It works.
  15. I should also clarify when I made the booking with the future cruise gentleman I was told I was the first person to book this particular cruise (newly released) and as such my chances were pretty good I would get the cabin I wanted 🙂 It doesn't indicate anywhere on my confirmation nor was I told by my TA that my deposit was nonrefundable. I had been regularly checking cabin availability before boarding the cruise on which I made this booking.
