I'm on the Zuiderdam TA right now and have seen about 4 kids (about 7-9 years old) so far. They looked like they were enjoying themselves eating at the Dive Inn and were well behaved!! Music in the Ocean Bar is nice live instrumental music (smooth jazz today) which is good for cocktails and chatting. They are playing about 4 x 45- minute sets per evening. I hope they switch up the type of music as the days go along...something more upbeat perhaps later in the evening, ~Nancy

Annnndddd…..we’re off!!!!

White trucks unhooked the lines.

Last pallet just being loaded! I’m on the port side!

The good news for those leaving and joining is that the US Immigration checks were already done in San Juan Puerto Rico! It will still be a very busy turn around day, I'm sure. I'll be embarking also. Yay! ~Nancy

Dinner is showing on the App for me now for Zuiderdam! ~Nancy

He completed Koningsdam and is now on Nieuw Amsterdam May 5-19th.

I have AARP (second cruise with it this year) and TA OBC on my December cruises. Booked about 3 months ago. It is possible!!! ~Nancy

First have your TA determine if Club Orange is even still available. They limit the number of CO sold. If the cruise is almost sold out there is a pretty good chance that CO has sold out already as well. Check that first then find out what can be done about any upgrades. They may not be still available as well. Have your TA investigate ASAP!! Good Luck!! ~Nancy

According to their website, unfortunately, Bloody Mary's Bar is still closed for remodeling. closure-announcement.pdf (bloodymarys.com) Bora Bora Restaurant Bloody Mary's Yacht Club Bar (bloodymarys.com) If anyone knows when it will reopen, please let us know!! ~Nancy

On my three HAL cruises to Glacier Bay, we stopped only at Margerie Glacier and the ship slowly spun 360°. It's a wonderful day in the National Park! ~Nancy

Ha ha!! I did the same thing!! 🙄

How fun! Thanks for the info! ~Nancy

I hope that management was informed about the disorganized serving of the lobster! It makes so much sense to serve everyone one portion first then if there are any left let folks come back for a second serving. Buffet service 101 ~Nancy

Yes, I can see the menu now, but the OP was asking about the Indian menu in the MDR. Do you have that? Thank you, ~Nancy
