  1. How much is your air to Rotterdam ? How much is your entire vacation cost ? $149 - Absolutely !
  2. Hell, I don't even consider it an issue until a half hour . Low expectations I know .
  3. Yup , American cities are at the top of my list. If I'm going to worry this is where you should worry . Thanks second amendment . Me neither . Gotta believe OP was never there . Surprised Jamaica hasn't been mentioned . VERY aggressive sales tactics there .
  4. I've got one . A November cruise for 982 Cdn or $747 US for a balcony on a good deck with included gratuities booked directly with HAL . Certainly a good deal and I recognize this is an off-season deal but not a fire-sale price. Also booked my air with them .
  5. My Nieuw Amsterdam cruise has it at $46 which is 62 with exchange rate fee put in. No thanks . Pinnacle Grill Dining Experience $46.00 - Dinner
  6. Does it seem to anybody else a whole bunch of jr. VP's are trying to justify their existence by seeing what $'s they can shake free from their loyal customers , Very short sighted .
  7. I thought every cruise line does this . Bring back 1 "free" bottle of wine PP on boarding . Just enjoyed this with Princess. Plus their fee is only $15 per bottle after the first 2 bottles .
  8. Bummer . Chef Burke will be on the Nieuw Amsterdam the cruise after mine . Would have been fun. Maybe he'll be on my cruise setting up .(Yes I know that's silly)
  9. I booked Uber to go the 3 miles from the Hilton Marina to pier 4 . He got lost coming (25 minute wait) and then going to the correct pier (10 extra minutes) using regular UberX . It was a little funny . Next time I'll spring for a premium Uber like select, plus or black .
  10. I doubt it since RC , Celebrity and NCL have all recently increased their amounts . Sadly CCL and its brands will follow sooner then later .
  11. Doesn't Port Canaveral take another 10 hours sailing to get to the Caribbean then Everglades ? No thanks .
  12. Wow ! So you may not return to HAL and you started this thread because of mediocre musicians but you didn't bother to complain when you were "chased us off our balcony on numerous occasions." by smokers . Wow . 😲
  13. I was shocked when looking for hotels in FLL for my July cruise . Then I looked at Miami hotel prices . Gasp .
  14. We were docked at Quai 30 on our recent Caribbean Princess cruise . They offered shuttles close to the old terminal but it was definitely less convenient then the old location . It was however just a 10 minute walk to Gare du Palais , the Via train station .
  15. Thanks Wow ! Can reservations be made by calling customer service ?
  16. I booked Open Seating for my upcoming cruise . I don't know how to make a reservation for a specific time . Can this only be done on board with HAL ?
  17. I don't want stuff added to the menu . I want stuff restored . Sushi is a great example . Princess and the other cruise lines introduced it to their buffets before realizing they could make people pay extra for it so no more Lido deck sushi . 🍣🐟
  18. Cruise Critic still informs that you can bring one "free" bottle on . Not good . https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=36
  19. That's too bad . Just off a Princess cruise where they still have the 1 "free" PP bottle policy provided you don't drink it in the MDR . We were expecting to pay for our third bottle but because of Covid protocols nobody asked about carry-on wine . 🍷🍾 Can we still bring soda on ?
  20. We really enjoyed our July 23 Ft Lauderdale - Quebec City cruise . The ship was in good condition , Our only issue was A/C problems at the beginning and end of the cruise . I'd give a pass on the first days cooling problems because it was over 100 on the humidity index when leaving port . We loved the 5 pools, tons of common spaces and deep balconies that new ships have abandoned to create more profit generators . I believe there were about 2500 guests aboard .
  21. 12 Didn't want to post till now as this is our 4th attempt . Hope I haven't jinxed it .
