    The Pictures We’ve All Been Waiting to See

    in Holland America Line

    Posted

    Bleh. I'm on in two weeks and I'm sad already. But only because I was on her last year and know what I'm missing. Looking forward to your comments.

     

     

     

    I love seeing the art on all the ships. I really really love and appreciate it, though I know not all do.

     

     

     

    Truly, the updates are very nice and the ship is GORGEOUS. Maybe some things were changed and not everyone is going to like everything, but if you look at the entire product...the ship is GORGEOUS.

    WESTERDAM Shops

    in Holland America Line

    Posted

    They have the new shops here on NA. We can’t stand them and apparently the feeling is very mutual throughout this cruise because there are hardly ever many people in them. There are basically no sales...No watch events... No jewelry events...No deck sales. The desk area in the passageway between the shops was NEVER used (they used to do “gold by the inch”, liquor tastings, etc there).

     

    When we first boarded we realized that the sunscreen that we brought with us wasn’t what we thought it was, so we went to the shops to buy some and there was none to be found. We asked and they told us it was still below decks in the warehouse. We said that perhaps sunscreen should be a priority on a Caribbean cruise.

     

    I asked to sample a cologne and were told that they didn’t have a sample. I said that I’m not going to buy something if I can’t sample it. Then they opened one to let me try.

     

    I know ships are an ongoing thing and they would never do this, but it would just have been better if they would have closed them completely for a week so they could all get their acts together rather than doing a half-a**ed job throughout the cruise.

     

    We usually spend a good amount on colognes and watches, but we refuse to spend a dollar in these shops on this cruise

    Upsell offered. What would you do?

    At 5 weeks out, I would probably wait as well...sorry, I didn’t realize you were that far out. It will get better if the Neptunes are not selling.

     

    Isn’t that a little soon to be getting upsell offers? They must really want your category...and if they want it bad enough they’ll give a better offer.

     

    You can counter-offer to them on the phone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t...depends how badly they want your existing stateroom.
