Milkshakes were definitely included in the SBP on the Statendam in September/October. I had quite a few. -

The reusable bottles are fine. -
Never heard anybody call them wet suits. I expect sciencewonk was just describing what they are made from - wet suit type material. Aussies call them stubby holders, Americans koozies. Check their history out in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koozie#:~:text=A koozie ( %2Fˈkuː,like a can or bottle.

My head is spinning: CO vs Neptune Suite vs HIA?
Nang replied to Hobar's topic in Holland America Line
If you paid to have the signature beverage package (SBP) added I suggest you cancel it and book HIA which will cost less and include excursion $s, wifi and specialty dining options, If the HIA package includes the SBP you should be able to upgrade to Elite once on board but you need to do so before getting ANY drink on the SBP. Just ask to upgrade at any bar and if you get refused at a bar just keep trying at different bars. -

In my experience reservations are far from "competitive" in Canaletto. You will be able to check the MDR menu in the morning and reschedule Canaletto if you want, there is almost no danger of not being able to rebook. -
about 75 minutes but this was on a Sunday with minimal traffic.

We boarded the NS on 17 Sept 2023 in Civitavecchia. Got picked up by car at 10:30 from our Rome City BnB and boarded immediately we arrived at the port. There was not 1 person waiting to board. If the ship arrives at 7:00am or 8:00am I would just do what we did. Our scheduled time was 2:20pm.

They are not formal, but dressy nights. No suits, jackets or ties required for the guys. Slacks, chinos, collared shirts. No sneakers. Dress up if you want, you may see a few tuxes. Your holiday your choice. No need to "dress up" for other non-dining venues. Lido dress code is as it is for any other night. There will likely be a dressy night on the first or second sea day and on the last one if it is not the last night of the cruise. -
The Billboard Onboard performers tend to be OK entertainers with their weakness being their vocal abilities, unlike those who preceded them in the piano bar days.

What about the two pianists/singers in Billboard Onboard? Surely they are still a thing?
