Thanks to everyone who responded to my concern. Your input has been very helpful & appreciated.

Going on the Veendam in April 2020 on a Transatlantic. I do not see much in the way of onboard entertainment on this ship. Are there decent movies to watch in your cabin?

We went to St Andrews a couple of years ago instead of the Military Tatoo. We got off of the tender boat & took a taxi to a rental car facility [ prearranged]. Drove to the town of St Andrews where we had booked a hotel within walking distance to the old course. Upon arrival we shopped at the old course gift shop, ate dinner at a local pub & eventually back to the hotel. The following morning we met the group tour for a walking tour of the old course . The guide gave so much information . She also made sure to get us on the course for pictures if we wanted. She judged when groups were playing a hole & then got us out on the course. I got a great picture of my husband standing on the bridge. When we were finished we had a leisurely drive back to the ship. Info is on the st andrews web site. Beautiful drive.

Jumping in here ...just returned from TA from Rome on Reflection. We flew premium class on Norwegian Air Rome to Newark. Plane very comfortable. Service in premium class was excellent. Drinks were good but food not so much. On a scale 1-5 with 1 the worst & 5 the best ,I would rate the food 1-2. Entertainment good with good movie selections. Because of the price & service , I would fly with Norwegian again but I would plan on bringing food from the airport .

Look at londontoolkit.com for transportation & tour information. We took the tour bus to Salisbury , Stonehenge & Windsor Castle. The bus then made 2 drops, central London hotels or Heathrow airport, obviously for a later flight. Of course you can also get info on ride services or bus transfers to Heathrow. It is a great website for all things London.
