Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. For those that have taken this cruise, do you recommend springing for a balcony (I usually do interiors)? I've been eyeing the Jan 7th 2024 cruise but been hesitant to jump on it as worried about the Drake Passage crossing as I don't do well with rough seas. But I can only imagine it would be worth it.
  2. For myself I always have an issue using Chrome once I click on a cruise I want or want to price out a cruise. I get a server error. I cleaned out my cookies, rebooted etc. Still no go. I was able to get around that error when using Chrome Incognito up until a few days ago. I am now getting the same server error. I started using Microsoft Edge internet browser and haven't had any issues so far.
  3. Couldn't agree more. Hubby and myself are in our early 40's and we have been cruising with Holland for the past 12 years. We love the older crowd and have met so many wonderful people in our travels.
  4. My husband is a scotch drinker and his favorite it Balvenie. They usually don't have that to pre-order so we wait until we are on board as it really depends what they have in stock on the ship. He calls room service and sees if they have a bottle of Balvenie he can purchase outright. Half the time they do have it and when they don't he gets another single malt brand. He drinks it in the room or will pour it in a glass and enjoy it while we are eating or walking about. Super easy.
  5. I've had to call several times into Holland over the past few weeks as I booked online and needed the Welcome Back OBC promo added to my booking. I had asked my PCC but she always tells me to call reservations. The three or four times I've called I am directed to a call center with rep's that try but you can tell they are new or just don't seem to understand what you're asking. I am polite as can be and bring my patience. A simple call that normally should take no more than five minutes usually takes about 30 min.
  6. Same thing for me. I went thru all the offers and kept refreshing and still nothing on HAL. But got the NCL one. Hopefully will get it soon.
  7. Has anyone had any experience on the Volendam in one of the sideways shaped interior rooms? Specifically 2619. I saw some blank spaces around the cabin and wondered if there is a lot of noise? Thank you
  8. We played Craps every night on our 11 day cruise that ended earlier this month on the Zaandam. Can attest that there were no vigs on place bets. We bet the pass or do not pass line etc.
  9. We were on the Rotterdam in Nov and Dec 2022 and they showed NFL games on TVs at some of the bars.
  10. We have a 7 day Caribbean cruise scheduled for Feb that has Key West listed as a port. We have never been there and solely booked the cruise for that port. We have had three cruises with Holland America in the past 10 years that had Key West as a port on the cruise itinerary but never actually ported. Either the port was changed at the last minute or some other reason we couldn't port there. We've decided if we don't make it there for the fourth time, we are going to fly there instead lol.
  11. I get that message every day and the only way I have found around it is to open another tab in incognito mode and then I have no issues. No idea why that works for me.
  12. You can call and have it added. I’ve done several casino cruises within the past two years and see same thing online. Doesn’t allow me to add. I called and had it added no problem.
  13. Just got off the Zaandam on an 11 day cruise and we played Craps every night in the casino. My hubby is a long time Craps player but this was only my second time playing. I quickly picked it up and frankly I'm not the quickest tool in the shed and if I can figure it out I am sure many other people could. Some nights we did very well and other nights not so much but in total we came out ahead and had a great time. The casino crew on the Zaandam are top notch. A very good idea about doing tutorials for Craps or other table games to bring in more business.
  14. That is very interesting and good to know. Was this a new offer you received in email or a casino rate you found under your mariner number while searching for cruises?
  15. Currently on the Zaandam and there has been classical music played in the Explorer's Lounge several nights. A Piano player and Cello player. They've played many classical numbers.
