Thanks for the info! Officer or higher ranking staff cabins make sense for that area. I’m sure the officers have the cabins with the forward facing windows there too.

We booked cabin C101 on Deck 10 of Crown Princess for an upcoming cruise. According to all the pictures I have found there are a few windows around the front edge of the white semicircle forward of our cabin, but I can't figure out what would actually be in this area (circled in red on attached map). Does anyone know or have any ideas? Thanks!

So I am back from my Eurodam Alaska Cruise (6/24 - 7/1). The Behind the Scenes Tour was not offered. I talked to guest services and they said it was stopped during COVID and has not started up again. The "City on the Sea" show on the last full day of the cruise is closest you can get, and it is better than nothing. That being said, if you know any thing basic about how a cruise ship works, you aren't going to learn anything new.

I will definitely report back after our trip if something is offered. We will ask guest services when we get on just to be sure.

Thanks for all the responses! We will definitely go to the Ask the Captain session and will probably check out the City at Sea presentation too. That is too bad the real tours haven't resumed since COVID. Perhaps those are becoming a thing of the past, at least on large ships.

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. The boarding pass clearly says 11:00 AM is my check in time. It says nothing about boarding time.

I just got my boarding pass for Eurodam on June 24th and we are in Boarding Group A, which has a time of 11:00 listed.

My wife and I are travelling on Eurodam on June 24th to Alaska. I have had the hardest time finding information about Holland America's offering of a behind the scenes tour on the ship. We are luckily in the first boarding group and are planning on going to the guest services desk as soon as we board to inquire. Has anyone been on a Holland America ship this year and do you know if a behind the scenes tour was available? Thanks!
