RSVP Feb 5-12, 2017 on the Koningsdam

The itinerary is:

Ft. Lauderdale

Key West

Grand Cayman

Roatan, Honduras

Cozumel

Fr. Lauderdale

I left my booking up to chance. I decided if Single Outside (OO) cabins were still available that I would book, and they were. I got cabin 9 out of 12. That was somewhat surprising given that I got booking form 168. I figured that all the competition would be for suites and deluxe verandahs.

I'm also excited that we're getting a full itinerary rather than an abbreviated one. With all the RSVP entertainment sure to be brought aboard, I only hope we get a glimpse of Koningsdam's new offerings.

50 weeks to go!

What do you mean by "an abbreviated" itinerary?

Four ports instead of one being substituted with a port day. All of my previous Caribbean sailings with RSVP had one fewer port than the comparable HAL itinerary.

Looking to rejoin our RSVP friends next year after a two year absence! :)

We're booked...and already counting the days!

We're planning on booking. We've done Atlantis a bunch of times but this will be our first RSVP. The Atlantis cruise on the Allure is just too many people for me.

Welcome boys, it's sure to be a good time on a beautiful new ship.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Some of us love the sea days! :D

Useful for "entertaining," that's for sure.

I will scan it when I get a chance.

Why when I click on "View First Unread" it jumps to my last post and not the first unread?

Here are the prices they gave us on the February cruise.

Who won the Penthouse discussion?

If anyone is interested Captain Albert, who has an interesting blog about being a captain with HAL, is currently onboard the Koningsdam posting pictures and describing the final preparations before Koningsdam departs for her inaugural cruise.

Thanks for posting the link. I have an unnatural fascination with Koningsdam. I'm excited about sailing her with RSVP, but I really want to sail her on a regular HAL cruise so I can see all the new entertainment. I guess I will have to book a 10-night southern Caribbean in December 2018. Too many cruises, not enough time.

Isn't that the truth!

Am I wrong in assuming that you have to be a past guest to sign up for this cruise? If so, does anyone know when it will open up to the general public? I'd really like to check out this ship and the itinerary is perfect!

Thanks!
