Musings from the Monarch (Koningsdam)

[VMax1700]

Thanks to all who arranged and posted to the sailaway thread today. 

I will not be posting a 'live from' and instead will post irregular musings and will delve for information if requested!

Ok so we subscribed to the middle priced internet package. 199.99 usd for 24 days.

The flyer in the stateroom stated unlimited but on sign up thru the app it says the daily limit is 200 mb.

Inconsistency, what's new!

Looking forward to your musings!  Have a fabulous cruise.

I think they say 200mb but from what I’ve read from others it’s pretty much unlimited.  Enjoy your cruise!  Looking forward to your musings 😁

Let me know if it works like the Prinsendam.  Even though I had unlimited, it logged me out every 3 hours.  Not timed out , it would log me out even if I was currently working.

 

Thanks

That is tragic.  Let's all hope it was a one-time oversight.  m--

No mention of $10 charge on mdr dinner menu. We went to lido so can't comment any further.

It does not appear to be an oversight. We did not have any for the prior ten days

Looking forward to your musings.

 

So -- no more pillow chocolates.  Thank heaven I take my own dark chocolates.

Hmmmmm we were on the voyage before Copper, my sister purchase the unlimited internet never mentioned any issue with it AND more importantly we did have chocolates every night..........we has 10 cabins booked and all got chocolates.  

[puppycanducruise]

Looking forward to reading your musings.

Thanks for the wine package info.

[FlorenceItaly]

Very disappointed about no chocolates.  Cruising sure is changing.......

[VMax1700]

Our cabin steward Katut welcomed us with a hug! He was our steward in October and kept hugging Ellen and myself. Other pax in corridor must have had strange thoughts!

I will ask him about chocolates.

No english bacon in lido this morning. I asked at the usual station and got blanked.

[J4NEC]

What’s English bacon?

[VMax1700]

I suppose at this stage I should introduce ourselves. DW is Ellen and i am l Colin. I retired 3 years ago after working away from home Monday to Friday for 37 years. Retirement was supposed to be our time together but i didn't factor in grandkids!

Please excuse typos etc. I am doing this on a samsung phone. It is painstakingly slow and clunky.

There would appear to be a high turnover of staff since our last cruise, particularily Lido staff.
