@kazu I made note of Riverside Hotel you happened to mention in a thread a while ago and after reading reviews we ditched our pay with points hotel and rebooked Riverside for 2 nights before our cruise last year. We were extremely happy with the location and nearby restaurants, easy Uber to Publix for last minute supplies, we plan to stay again next year. Thank you! P.S. Hope your foot is on the mend!

Currently on Zuiderdam and the new menu is now showing on the Navigator app. We ate there twice (old menu) on the first segment, I’m guessing this was “unveiled” May 28, 2023 when the new segment began although it’s still the old price. Hopefully, the menu will show (previously posted anyway). canaletto_menu_winter_2023_en_rtdm_trial_v15_-_beef.pdf

Thanks @REOVA for mentioning the cans are pop top lids, I never thought of that. @mcrcruiserWe were thinking of bringing refillable bottles but miss the old days of the larger water bottles that we would use to fill our smaller ones. Eventually, we started using the tap water (very good) but easier to fill with the larger bottled water.

Reykjavik, Iceland Touring Advice Needed!
ellbelle replied to Under_Bored Duo's topic in Iceland and Greenland
We are on the same sailing and we’re thinking of using Artic Shorex for day 1 doing the Golden Circle Tour, I did check out yourdaytours.is but their pickup time at the port is the same as the ship arrival time. -
I second Steve from Trip Insurance Store, he can walk you through all scenarios and put a plan together based on your needs. For longer trips like yours he’d rather talk to you than use the cost estimator. He also recently did a Q&A session here on Cruise Critic.

@GKTV32162 Thank you so much for wonderful blog which I looked forward to reading every morning while drinking my coffee and enjoying the quiet house. I'm not sure what my new routine will now be! I've been unable to post comments directly on your blog (after posting one or two) but I think it may be a setting thing for me recognizing that I have a blogspot account (nothing is on it). I look forward to your upcoming cruise blog and if you decide on another WC I will certainly be there for the "ride". Thanks Again!!!!

Persistent they are! We were on a Segway tour in the walled city and had stopped by a pretty square where I had eyed something at a table and this man selling it wouldn’t leave me alone after telling him “no” many times. We all got on our Segways and tootled away and this guy literally ran behind us holding the item all the way to the next stop where our guide finally told him to go away.

I wondering if you could post about the bedside electrical outlet situation and assume they would be the same in inside, ocean view and balcony cabins (we are in a balcony)? We’ve never been concerned in the past and cannot remember from sister ships, but now that my husband is using a c-pap I’m hoping we don’t have to have a long extension cord to the desk. Thank you in advance!
