tabby1964

I was looking forward to staying at the Pierre du Calvet hotel for my cruise in a couple of weeks. They announced on Facebook today that it was been sold and as of June 19 it will be closed.:loudcry:

Well against the advice that I have read on the boards, I jumped at my first "upsell" offer on the maasdam for our June sailing of Boston to Montreal. We were booked OV lower promenade and took the upsell to veranda a173. This is only my second cruise ever and the first one with just my husband and I. This is so much more expensive than what I paid for a family of five on RC to the Bahamas. I guess smaller ships and certain itineraries do cost more as not everyone sails to PEI.

Weather permitting...i think a balcony would be ideal for our trip. Hubby does not know about our upgrade yet as I want to surprise him for our 29th anniversary.

Has anyone every tried to request two lounge chairs for their balcony? It would nice if we both had one but new to Holland America and don't know if that is an option.
