OK - the Lands End maxi dress is being exchanged for a smaller size (M instead of L) ---- too long & VERY heavy....looked at the fabric description on the site & thought it would work but it's Tencel....still going to try it. Also the size chart is a little deceiving....I'm hoping I'm a larger M instead of the real L.
A guy who was the lead singer at BB Kings on the Zuiderdam is now one of the recruiters & on his FB page there is a flyer for entertainers for HAL....maybe it's a supply & demand issue.
We've stayed here a couple of times pre & post cruise....rooms are adequate. Shuttle from the airport can be slow at times - it has a couple of other hotels to service.

There are restaurants fairly close by.
I bought an emerald pendant in Colombia for a reasonable price -- having done no research took a chance. Took it to our local appraiser at home & it appraised for more than twice the amount I paid...that said, do what will make you happy.
