It is walkable but it’s a walk…..we Ubered to the Hilton Marina to get the water taxi.

Has anyone stayed at the GalleryOne in Ft Lauderdale lately? Wondering if its an ok spot as I read some good and not so good reviews..thoughts??

I had been eyeing the 9-day Rotterdam itinerary for next March, I wanted to book it, but just never got around to doing it and was still kind of on the fence. The $1 deposit came out, so I booked it, bought my airfare yesterday so I guess I am going and couldn't be happier....

Bummer, thanks for the information, love this hotel and loved the airport transfer, but an uber works just as well.

Doone and Friends Rotterdam March 8-17, 2024 9 Day Seafarer Cruise

Yes, have had issues since yesterday.....

I had an issue yesterday, but today has been fine.

Thank you.

Sailing the Koningsdam Aug 2024, is a 12:45 pm flight doable or would a 1:30 pm flight be better? Thank you….

On the Rotterdam in March, AHA was available at the Grand Dutch Cafe, other sparkling canned water was readily available at the bars I frequented.

March 1, 2025 Nieuw Statendam 7 Days Caribbean Tropical Itinerary Doone’s Sister and Friends Birthday Celebration Cruise Thank you for posting!!!

I absolutely love the Pinnacle Class ships, however, what I would love to see in a new ship would be take the Pinnacle Class ship and add: the wrap around promenade, the MDR not so open I feel that not having a ceiling so to speak, contributes to the dining rooms on the Pinnacle class ships to being too noisy. I hate the smoke in the Casino, smoke free would be great. More seating in the Lido and a little larger pool aft. Who knows when or what the next ship will be.

We sailed as a family several years ago with my nieces and nephews, back then they were ages I think 5-15 or so. They all loved Club HAL, especially the little ones, but the older ones too met some kids onboard their ages and had fun. When we sailed, Club HAL had fewer kids onboard, but the kids all loved their Club HAL counselors and to this day still sail on HAL and fondly remember their Club HAL days. I think your kids will really enjoy it...........

Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I thought. What i told her is do the 7 day round trip out of Vancouver then head to Denali from Vancouver……

I have a friend sailing with me to Alaska round trip from Vancouver. She is thinking of getting off te cruises ship before returning to Vancouver and heading to Denali on her own. My initial thought is she cannot do this, but thought I’d ask here???? Thanks in advance….

Thank you RuthC, that sounds easy enough!!!

Perfect, great information, thank you so very much…..I am comfortable booking my own air and hotel….transfers may look at through HAL.

This is all great information, but I am trying to figure out if we should book air, hotel and transfers through HAL vs. doing it on our own, any thoughts?

Wondering everyone’s experiences with booking air, hotel and transfers to Vancouver through HAL for Alaska cruise? Thanks,

Thanks everyone, appreciate your help……….

Can anyone tell me the best way to get from Tampa to Ft Lauderdale? I am trying to get from a friends whom I will be visiting to Ft Lauderdale to board my cruise…..any help is appreciated…..do cruise lines have such a thing? thanks,

It worked for 15 cabins out of the 16 we had booked in March. One couple did not specify not to upgrade, they were the only cabin moved…..booked the Koningsdam for 2024, asked not to be upgraded, I guess we shall see, but this past March it worked.

Did you tell your TA not to move or upgrade you? I always tell my TA NO UPGRADES, never had a problem with being moved, always get the cabin I booked. Friends of ours did not tell their TA no upgrades, they were moved from their original cabin. It was supposed to be an "upgrade", but I tell you, the location for me would have been disappointing at best. They are good sports and went with the flow.

Thank you

How far is the ride from Vancouver Airport to the pier or Robson Street?
