  1. This is a wonderful itinerary change. The Archipelago scenery is still amongst the most remembered in our cruising adventures.
  2. Booked an obstructed verandah, CO upgrade to Spa Verandah….2 weeks out offered upsell to Neptune for the difference between CO and the upsell. So, to compare…the only variable that i can refer to is the Neptune Lounge and size of the suite. Same dining room (Rotterdam);same embarkation schedule as 4/5 and CO. We are using CO for our verandah suite on NS June/24. I would highly recommend the purchase of CO.
  3. I must say that i am somewhat frustrated with attempts to access my account on the website. Our excursions for June /24 UK itinerary were cancelled due to itinerary changes. We did receive an email advising us of these changes and were assured that we would have the credits returned to our account (HIA). Ever since this communication I cannot access my booking. Has anyone any experiences; and /or a resolution to this? TIA
  4. On the TransAtlantic?? I have a bucket list and either a TranAtlantic or TransPacific are inching ever closer to the top of my list. Cousin and I have 7 days in Amsterdam and the environs before returning to Terra Canuck.
  5. We are on the Viking Saga departing from Amsterdam on September 16 on the Rotterdam Vll
  6. The Neptune Suite guests on the Pinnacle class of ship use the Club Orange for both breakfast and Dinner. We were huge fans of breakfast in Pinnacle on the Old Rotterdam (Baltic) and Statendam (Alaska Landcruise), but will be very happy with this perk.
  7. I will take this opportunity to describe our recent experience with the Club Orange pass purchase. My cousin and I purchased the pass for the Viking Saga scheduled for Sept.16th. We booked an obstructed balcony and was upgraded to a VQ on deck 10. Received an upswell to a Neptune suite for $C622 pax, Long story short. Our awesome TA contacted Hal. We are now in a Neptune suite for the difference of the CO pass and the Upsell. Beyond excited!
  8. The Cellar Masters introduced me to the term “Amuse Bouche”, I am sooo open to any epicurean experience!
  9. I do have a question re: the menu. Do we receive all of the menu; or what we choose. I will admit freely, that the menu iseems to be very sophisticated and I would be challenged to make an educated choice.
  10. Thanks so much much for the referral. We have enjoyed the Cellar Masters dinner on our Baltic cruise some years ago. My cousin and I are looking forward to enjoying an experience that our moms would be absolutely ecstatic to enjoy!
  11. I am a Northern Ontario girl with no exposure to “Fine Dining: ( exception HAL )..we have reservations at the De Librije offering. Please offer any experiences …this is a “Bucket List” item.
  12. We are scheduled for Sep16/23 on the Rotterdam and our CO boarding pass show priority. Not concerned re: luggage tags. The checked luggage will arrive in our cabin at some point. We have essentials in our carryons!
  13. We are cruising on the Rotterdam; and we will keep this secret, as well. Many negative comments re: the size of the balconies with this category, but I am still going to take my relaxation time enjoying the Fjords.
  14. Using a Club Orange category upgrade, we are on one of these cabins September/23. We purchased the Thermal Spa pass. There are a some small perks (from what I have been told); but spa access is a purchased item.
  15. We are reserved for this room June 2024. We were upgraded from an obstructed verandah to this with Club Orange. I, too am interested in the configuration of the room…the verandah is certainly ample for an additional seating ( would love a full lounger ).
  16. The time of day may be determined by sea days vs a port. I have found that the spa passes are not oversold. I have never been disappointed when I have a visit.
  17. We are also booked in September. The spa is open for your pleasure. The heated loungers are very popular; so limiting your usage is appreciated; if there are others in the area. Otherwise the other amenities are at your pleasure.
  18. Exactly our experience onboard the Nieu Statendam September 2022. The reservation staff will make this happen.
  19. I am a huge fan of the thermal spa ( booked in September Viking Saga) but I did pass on the Panama Canal itinerary for the busy port schedule. Same ship; same itinerary…you will sooo enjoy this cruise. DH’s most favourite cruise to date!
  20. I will add an adhesive magnet strip…should be strong enough to placed on ant of the walls!
  21. We have Club Orange for dinner…I wonder if this could be requested at this venue…YUM!!
  22. We are in a spa on the Rotterdam in September. We are also fans of the thermal spa. This upgrade was due to a Club Orange upgrade. I have never used this category; and am looking forward to enjoying the proximity to the spa. The size of the balcony is not a real concern.
  23. Somewhere it was reported that adding Club Orange doubles the sailing days credits.
  24. So many questions…currently three star, and am on a 7 day Norwegian cruise in Sweptember. Here are my questions: I have Club Orange as an add-on to a verandah. Also have additional onboard charges for two $400 excursions and two Sel be Mer dinners and two Thermal Spa . How many additional days will be earned???
