DutchByAssociation Posted March 28, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Amsterdam, Dutch? Where are you going on her? 3 day Pacific Northwest, r/t Seattle. To answer krazy, no, not adding on an Alaska because she goes into dry dock for 12 days right after the 3 day. (Dry dock in Victoria) To answer kakalina, pleasure To everyone else, Thanks!

Pam in CA Posted March 28, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 28, 2009 3 day Pacific Northwest, r/t Seattle. To answer krazy, no, not adding on an Alaska because she goes into dry dock for 12 days right after the 3 day. (Dry dock in Victoria) Have a GREAT cruise! FYI, what's being done during dry dock or has this been asked before? Twelve days means there's some changes/updates being made. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted March 28, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Twelve days means there's some changes/updates being made. :)On another thread DByA said a Canaletto was being added, but I don't recall a mention of any other changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue skies and have a wonderful cruise! --rita HA! I'm not THAT high up! :D Although paying regular fare does seem to have had an advantage (fare paid is ONE of the factors that plays into upgrades... I booked an NN Guarantee) I actually got a category that was really good but I've been in almost the same position on the Amsterdam before so I asked for one of those "oddball rooms" You know... the ones that aren't just 30 in a row of the same category that every ship seems to have a few of. And it was a downgrade from my original upgraded assignment. As it was open and available at the time, it was no problem although it isn't typical that this is allowed... What can I say, I like the weird rooms. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchByAssociation Posted March 29, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted March 29, 2009 On another thread DByA said a Canaletto was being added, but I don't recall a mention of any other changes. Casino is getting an update and reconfiguration from what I've heard. Shops might get a refresh and update similar to what is currently on Volendam.

Perhaps as a mascot....in full costume. they never have to speak or answer questions-- and everyone loves them! :D Or if travelling with a family member or friend and they don't have a cruisecritic id, have them join and participate in any cc activities under their username. ;) Have your own private sailaway either alone, with friends or with colleagues onboard. Whatever you do make sure you enjoy yourself, after all, you are on a DAM cruise !! Enjoy. Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.... never mind:rolleyes: (lol).Have a great time DBA! John LOL Based on the way it was booking I did get a pretty good upgrade.
