While I understand that gratuities for the ship are included in the fare, I wonder if it is expected to tip when you get a special service such as room service. Any thoughts? Amounts?

Also, do FP tour guides normally get a tip? Amount if so?

Thanks!

We are on PG's 14 day Marquesas, Tuamotus, and Society Islands cruise on April 14. Can you please enlighten me concerning when (what day) and where the Captain's Welcome Reception happens, and what and where Tahitian Night is?

Great - thanks! Sounds like it will be fun....

As you can see from the signature below, our cruising experience has been almost exclusively on Holland America. Our experience is that while the majority of passengers are American on Holland America, there are a significant number of others: Canadians, Europeans, Australians, etc. which makes the cruises a lot of fun.

Do the passengers on PG tend to be mostly American, or other nationalities? What about age groups?

Thanks!

Does anyone know who the Captain, Hotel Manager, and Cruise Director will be on the Koningsdam's transatlantic passage October 24-November 9?

Thanks!

Can anyone please tell me the cost of a manicure on board? If I supply my own polish, 1) is that permitted and 2) how much is the cost then?

Thanks!

Thanks, Carnevale, for your post. It's disappointing as another takeaway.

I can't imagine why HAL would take the space, not to mention the cost, of a large dance floor when there's no dancing!

We will be in Funchal on All Saints Day, November 1.

Is everything (like shops) closed?

Wonderful photos - thanks so much!

Where is the ladies make-up/dressing area in your Neptune suite? Like the ones in the Vistas/Signatures?

HAL apparently is installing this in Neptune Suites. Does anyone know how it works? If I have MP3 files on a USB flash drive, will it play them?

Thanks!

While I understand some folks wanting the toilet separate from the rest of the head, I don't understand a third sink for staterooms that typically have two people....
