Kind of what I was thinking too, but I'll be happy with signature suite if we don't get bumped 🙂

We are on the Westerdam in January for 28 nights. Booked a guaranteed cabin for the first time. Booked guaranteed SS category of signature suite, since this is the highest category of signature suite I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a bump up to a neptune suite.

DH and I will be sailing on the Westerdam in January for 28 nights starting in Singapore and ending in Yokohama. We will arrive in Singapore several days early then visit Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China (Shanghai) South Korea and multiple ports in Japan. Wondering if anyone has advice on whether we will need local currencies and if so recommendations on amount. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Wow, I'm starting to wonder if doing a long cruise on the Westerdam is a mistake. We are doing a 28 night Singapore to Yokohama in January. Sure hope these issues are corrected by then. We have only done one other HAL cruise 7 years ago on the Eurodam for 13 nights and loved it. Thought about canceling our Westerdam cruise, but we'll do this one and then decide if we will continue with HAL or not

Really enjoy reading about the port stops and really sorry to hear of the over charges, lack of entertainment and shortages on different wines and alcohol. We will be on the Westerdam in January, Singapore to Yokohama. Sure hope these issues improve by then

Thanks, I just put them on my phone 🙂

If you are looking for Asia cruises starting in January 2024 they are already available for booking. We are on the Westerdam January 20, 2024 28 nights Singapore to Yokohama

I agree and although I enjoy reading all the reviews of the different ships I also keep in mind many things are subjective. What one person dislikes another will like. About to see what I think of the Emerald. We will be on board in a few hours.

Younger than us since we are early/Mid 60's. Wow won't that be nice if we are 50 to 75 percent full. See you on board

Really looking forward to your posts and reviews. We will be boarding on January 2nd when you get off so your posts will heighten my anticipation 😀

We are on Emerald Jan 2nd for full Panama canal transit. When dining first opened I was able to book all 3 main dining rooms, then one day she I was checking my dinner reservations all my nights booked in Michaelangelo were blank and that dining room was no longer an option to book. Looks like as of now it is closed for our cruise.

Saw this on Facebook yesterday: One of our teams has begun work on Emerald Princess. Over 6,500 sqm of carpeting in cabins, stairs, landings and restaurant and over 1,800 sqm of Astroturf is being installed by our flooring experts.

We are on a full panama canal on Emerald in January. Ship is scheduled to leave Florida at 4pm. Can't select arrival group yet, but my travel summary says boarding starts at 1:30

Still have and still use the princess cup I got with my soda package 9 years ago, hoping to get a new one in January with my plus package.

What were your impressions of the Emerald. We will be on her in January
