  1. I do the same thing - paste it into a Word document and then add a column for notes on the various ports.
  2. We were in room 1024 on a 29 day crossing and never had an issue with noise. It's up near the front bank of stairs/elevators. We liked the quiet.
  3. It was really fun to win today! Not sure if I have ever won at bingo on a cruise before!!
  4. We were in Aarhus, Denmark today and it was a wonderful place to visit. We went on a ship excursion to Den Gamle By, which is a very cool museum that contains buildings from the last 700-800 years. It was fascinating to walk around and explore. The cobblestones are pretty tough to walk on though.
  5. Oh, thanks for thinking of us. We figured out a way to mark it. I think she's pretty good now at finding it. See you soon šŸ˜Š
  6. Maybe, but we spoke with our stewards and they didn't know. In the big scheme of things, it's minor, but needed to vent. Meanwhile, Stockholm is stunning this morning. šŸ˜
  7. Well, I am very upset this morning. Someone stole my cute little sign I had hung up outside our cabin. šŸ˜” It was something I put there to help my mom find our cabin. Who steals a sign?
  8. Yes, we did a tour called 'Helsinki by land and sea'. There were 4 busses for this tour. It was raining here at the pier, but stopped by the time we boarded the ferry type boat for the 90 minute ride around the bay. Saw a bunch of neat buildings on these small islands. Upon docking we had 30 minutes to explore the market and then it was back in the bus to continue the tour. We stopped a couple of times for short times. It was very well done.
  9. We really enjoyed Helsinki today. It was our first visit to this port and, even with the rain, we thoroughly enjoyed it. šŸ˜‰
  10. We did the HOHO in Copenhagen yesterday too. We walked out to one parked on the street and were able to use our cc. I heard at dinner that the shuttle to the metro was a bad experience. There were many stairs to climb and only one kiosk to purchase tickets. Rhonda
  11. We were on the Eurodam at the end of June and loved it! Sorry this poster had such a bad experience, but it certainly was a lot different than our 7 day Alaska cruise.
  12. We were on the Eurodam on the June 24th cruise to Alaska and we really enjoyed it. We've been on lots of the ships over the years and this ship has become a new favorite. We found it easy to navigate and just a nice size. We came home and booked a cruise on it through the Panama Canal next spring! We found the Pinnacle grill lacking for dinner service, but enjoyed a lunch there. Tamarind was wonderful and the MDR was very good as well. We didn't use the Lido much, but did like the Dive In.

  13. I don't know if that deck/room has space for 4. There was a small loveseat that might have made into a bed for one other person. I didn't notice the one in the ceiling, but when I look at the deck plan it says there is one there. On Holland, they really are flat into the ceiling and hard to see. šŸ™‚
  14. Have a wonderful time! I'm looking forward to reading about your cruise.
  15. I was in Tallinn last summer and had a wonderful time. We took that little tour train and it was fun, but I'm not sure I would recommend it because there is no narration. It went around the outside of the walled area and at one point actually drove down the cobblestone streets and it really rattled my teeth! šŸ™‚ We were there for a couple of days and walked around the old town and also drove to Kadriorg park and to a wonderful living museum sort of place with a farmer's market.
  16. I've been on the Koningsdam and the Nieuw Statendam which are sister ships to the Rotterdam and we had plenty of room under the bed for our suitcases.
  17. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan and so going to Hobbiton was like stepping into my favorite book which I first read more than 45 years ago! It was a wonderful day but I wish I'd had even more time to explore. šŸ™‚
  18. Thanks for sharing! I find the MDR is often crazy the first night because of all the new passengers, so we usually eat in one of the specialty restaurants. Rhonda
