LIVE Thanksgiving Review Nieuw Statendam Rome -> FLL My First Transatlantic Nov 26 - Dec 10 🦃

[mawvkysc]

Wow. No MDR breakfast on this day. 

Coloring and doodle art seem prolific and such a simple excuse for planned shipboard activities. I think a little more variety of crafts would be nice.

Not including breakfast hours for the MDR in the Daily was an error. I called Guest Services and asked — it was open as usual, 8:00 to 9:30 am.

television has been reset twice today.  right now the only thing that works is power and volume.  can’t even watch live tv.  front desk says the problem is fleet wide 

The only ship we had problems with our TV was on the New Statendam.

So sorry to see this cruise come to a conclusion, it has been great following along!

 

What is next on your cruise agenda?

[Haljo1935]

Good morning, FLL!

I count 6 ships, but it's dark so that may not be accurate. Busy, busy day for sure. From my vantage point, I see people going up and down the escalator preparing to process all of us - coming and going.

 

Origami graveyard. And Where's Waldo?

Sun is thinking about rising - this is probably the best I can do as we need to go to breakfast then get off here - @POA1 insists on a cabin, lol!

Does the 3 pm 50% off Happy Hour in Billboard include soft drinks?  

 

 

We asked and were told no, but didn't try to get one, so not able to confirm.

So glad you came along.

Hawaii 12/21 - 1/6. First time to HI and first solo. Like this cruise, I will not fully be on vacation - will be working most days, so I will give the internet a workout!

[Haljo1935]

7:15am - first group (self assist) called to disembark.

So it's official - we are being kicked off. As "they" say - you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. I will be going 🏡 😏

Thanks so much! It went so fast! Can’t wait for our first TA in May. You’ve helped us prepare.

I want to add my thanks to your reports. Looking forward to your views of Hawaii. Be prepared for light, warm rains most days. At least it usually doesn’t last long.
