We boarded the Noordam today for 16 nights to the South Pacific. At the last

moment we were upgraded, free of charge, to a SY Suite. General condition of the ships is good. However, it is in need of a refurb which I believe it is receiving in a few months. Only disappointment is that the Retreat has been entirely removed and won’t be back up until the refurb.

Hi all,

In September we were informed that we were not able to book a cabana as they had sustained considerable damage and were being taken out of service. Is anybody aware if they have been fixed or when they I’ll be fixed? We board on the 21st of December for a 16 night Xmas and NYE Cruise!

Many thanks

Thanks, Fishywood.

I had thought the western side would have been much warmer, assumed eastern would be cooler due to sea breeze etc.

Yes totally aware that the 14 day is a b2b...all of our other Eastern/Western cruises have been the same....turnaround day is a quick trip to Cheesecake Factory as we don’t have them downunder yet!

Cheers

Hi all,

Recently Princess had a sale on a 14 day Eastern/Western August 2018 sailing on the Caribbean Princess which we just had to book. We have sailed the Caribbean many times before but only ever in December/January and the weather is always warm/very warm and we love it.

We will be leaving our winter, being an Aussie August is the middle of winter for us. However, our winters are very mild and coats are really needed only two weeks out of the entire year.

How hot will Florida and the rest of the Caribbean actually be in August? I'm aware of possible hurricanes but we're more concerned with possibly melting considering some statements I've read made about the weather in Florida and the Caribbean at that time of year.

Cheers,

M

Thanks all....I have emailed HAL this morning asking if there is a specific timeframe for them to be repaired and for them to notify us when they are so we can book the cabana. Would seem odd for them not to fix them between now and a Christmas cruise!

My partner and I are sailing on the Noordam over Christmas and New Years on a cruise around the South Pacific. Being Australian we are aware how extremely hot the South Pacific is around Christmas and wanted our own dedicated deck space beyond our balcony. However, when we sent an email to book a cabana we received the following response:

“Good afternoon,

The ms Noordam cabanas have sustained considerable weather-related damage. Unfortunately, we will be removing inventory of cabanas until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.

SHIP SERVICES"

Has the ship hit rough weather this Alaskan season? Has anybody who has been onboard recently seen the damage?

Cheers,

Mark
