Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Reason nobody was at the 150 years of Holland is they have been doing it on every ship in the fleet every week ever since sailings resumed. They need to figure out something else the first day of a cruise
  2. Been trying to find this information on this site but everything appears dated. Anyone have current information
  3. Wow that is really crazy. As I read the schedule we will be on the river 13 days. What did you do for clean clothing?? Could they not pick up water from shore and use that for Laundry??
  4. Read on another ships board that from when they entered the Amazon river till when they left all shops and casino were closed. Is this what those who have sailed on Holland have experienced on the River.
  5. better to get rid of the stepless dancers and Blue earth
  6. Sent message to my Holland personal cruise consultant and she said she checked and it is my responsibility to pay the extra money to get from FLL to Miami. As this is Hollands change you would think they could compensate us a fifty dollar credit or so for this change on a four or five thousand dollar cruise. Yes it would be much easier to leave and arrive at same port.
  7. Yes a lot of us were planning on driving .. I think it is unfair that we have to pay the transportaion between the terminals. Who do we complain about this too.
  8. Hos stupid can the bean counters get Pizza is perhaps the cheapest main course to make on the ship. If they start charging for it people will just strt eating the more expensive options. I have only once eaten at Jonney rockets and that was for breakfast which is free. Only food I like on Carnival is their chicken shack. Guys burgers and BBQ and mexican food plus seafood bar chineese and sandwitch place. All this will do is drive families away from RCL or perhaps that is their idea. \
  9. Ir is a piece of garbage compared to RCCL and Princess. They need to find who wrote these and copy them. They both work well and have many additional features.
  10. no classical on Nieuw Statendam last week Cantare is a Holland created group there are three of these companies and they travel from one ship to another/ All three groups sing the same songs and can do two differant shows. Problem with holland is they repeat the same shows on every ship. They need to break it up with some new shows but suspect this costs money which is the reason why their after hour activities are so poorly attended. ON the NS only shows that were well attended were the traveling acts/ Few people want to see the caned productions of the no step dancers without a live band for the tenth time. What I really miss is america's test kitchen. Thought they were going to replace this with a cheaper program What happened to that idea.
  11. Did they have any special vaccination requirements for this cruise??
  12. Why is there all of this discussion on extra tips. These people with standard tips (per the cruise line) are already making almost 10 times what they could earn back home. Remember the average wage in the third world countries they come from is usually less than 150$ per week (if they can find a job). This is why the cruise lines hires from these countries. If anything the average we pay on tips is way above what should be necessary for good service. Real reason the tips are so high is so the cruise line can retain their staff without having to go to expense of hiring and training new workers.
  13. Uber /Cabs are really difficult to get. Took over an hour to get an uber and was very expensive due to their demand based pricing which increases cost based on demand. With six thousand getting off this ship all at one time plus whatever other ship is in town finding transportation is close to impossible.
