I am looking to take my 7 year old granddaughter (and her mom) to Alaska and would like to leave from Seattle ... the Oosterdam fits that part....I my granddaughter has been on 3 weekend cruises, one RCCL, two Carnival...she lives to cruise! My question is would Holland America be a good fit for a 7 year old and her thirty something mom? 

Wondering if it is safe to take toddler (Who still uses carseat)

In a taxi to Atlantis?

Purchased mine @19.5 so yep, I've made quite a nice chunk of change! Kind of nice that now they pay dividends with shares of stock instead of cash, so I'm now up to 110 (plus a smidge) shares. Too bad they don't give OBC for every multiple of 100. Hoping I'll be able to use my stock benefit for my cruise in 2019.

If you book more them one room, you can use multiple obc.

On another note. Switch to a different rewards card. Among the worst value per redemption of all rewards cards.

 

You don't need to cancel it as this could affect credit score, but find a different card.

Actually, don't use this card anymore but I have points on it. I use an Mlife card for free play at casinos!

Hard to use as it is not combinable with many promo's. On board credits aside. If you've controlled it long it's made you alot of money.

Yes, the stock made money!

I have Royal Carribean Stock witch used to give me on board credit when I sailed with them, but it's been awhile. Is this still policy? Can it be used in conjunction with reward points from my Royal credit card? And if it can, How? Thank you for the help.

I really don't have a lot of bad stories, but I have to say my cruise on the Carnival Destiny was less than perfect. After getting off that ship, I swore I would never go on another cruise again. The dining room smelled like urine, and made me gag every time we went there to eat. My son's bed crashed 4 times during the cruise (yes.....the legs buckeled, and he was on the floor 4 separate nights). One day we found.....well, who knows what kind of stains on the newly made bedsheets.

 

On my last cruise I had an experience that probably is going to make me look and sound really blonde: I am a little claustrophobic and panic when I find myself in rooms or places that I cannot control getting out off. One night I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Our cabin was pitch black, even though it was a balcony cabin. I do not like to turn the lights on for fear of waking the children. After I was ready to come out of the bathroom, I realized that for the life of me I could not remember where the light switch was, or where the door knob was. As I start feeling around the bathroom walls, I cannot find either. It is pitch dark, and I feel myself beginning to panic. Finally (though probably less than a minute passed), in total panic mode and fear, I scream for the kids to come and get me out of the bathroom, that I cannot find the light switch or the door knob. My 12 year old promptly turns on the light.....and stares at me in disbelief. There I was: in the bathroom....the door wide open. I had not even closed it, and could have just walked out.

 

I know. You don't have to tease me. My kids do it on a daily basis. I am sure this will be one of those stories that will be repeated many times over..... :o

Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha what a good laugh this gave me!!!
