First night of the Rotterdam cruise we were invited to the Neptune Lounge. Angelica spoke about all the perks and what they could do for us. Food and drinks were provided. I believe the Guest Service officer was in attendance.
Just left the port today with HAL shuttle . We didn’t leave until 9:30 and got to the airport at 11am. We booked a night at the Sheraton and they checked us in by 11:30. Flight was cheaper on Sunday rather than Saturday. Great to relax and not worry about flight at the end of vacation
Pete I just wanted to tell you that I appreciated all your detailed posts about the excursions that you took and the extra effort and time that it takes to make them. Safe travels home.
On our February 2022 cruise (Hawaii, French Polynesia and Marquesa ) a passenger decided to get off the port of Raiatea with a suitcase. He was searched and the suitcase was full of drugs. Needless to say the French Polynesia Police arrested him. When HAL searched his room lots of more drugs were found.
We had a Neptune aft on the Nieuw Statendam. Our cruise was the Midnight Sun in Norway. There were two days in the North Sea that were extremely rocky and bouncy. One night bed lower drawers would roll out and back in so we put the coffee table against them. Overall, we love aft cabins but not in the North Sea.
Yikes 7000-6000 pax is about three of HAL! I didn’t realize that knowing nothing of either one. I just watched a video of the Icon. Whoa definitely different than HAL .
We have only sailed with Holland. We were “gifted” a free 7 day cruise but only with Norwegian or RC. The itineraries are similar (eastern Caribbean) . I just would like to hear from those who sailed with these lines, the positives or negatives. It would be Norwegian Encore or Norwegian Breakaway or Iconof the Sea Thank you.
