Lady Arwen

Just wanted to add a little to your post. Hal Koningsdam is a Pinnacle class ship and Nieuw Amsterdam is a Signature class. NA is one of our favourite HAL ships. Not new, but in great shape and the perfect size. I would jump at the opportunity to sail on NA so close to home. Royal Princess is okay, but was never a favourite.

Totally enjoying your review and your pics are wonderful! We’ll be on Enchanted in August and this makes even more excited! Thanks so much. l

What a great report! Brings back lots of memories when we sailed on this itinerary. I love Regal Princess, one of our top fav cruise ships. Thank you for taking us along with you!

Thank you for giving us a heads up….appreciate it.

Great minds think alike!

I would check your Travel Summary. Everything you have booked and paid for is listed. If your PVP is not showing, I would call Princess.

I like your thinking! Exactly us, too. Cheers!

For you the package doesn’t work. That’s fine. However, for many more of us, they are a great value add a lot to our enjoyment of our cruise. To each their own. There is no wrong or right.

True, but that’s a rarity in our neck of the woods. Better to plan for the norm and also take a pair of shorts and T-shirts and swim wear should you be pleasantly surprised. We’ve seen snow in October.

We’re doing this itinerary on Enchanted at the end of August. As you know, the east coast in October can be quite chilly and rainy in the fall. We live in Ontario, so the fall colours are abundant where we live in the country. I would not plan on using the pools or hot tubs in October.

There are some very recent threads regarding Sapphire Princess. I would suggest you read these to help with your decision. Some are favourable and some not so much. Good luck.

Thank you for posting that. This should now satisfy the OP that EzAir is not hiding anything and the onus was on them to read thoroughly the terms and conditions. Can’t get any clearer than this!

I don’t know of any motel, hotel or inn that provides smoking guests rooms. If you try to smoke it on the street and especially in a park around kids you’ll hear about it pretty quickly. We don’t care about the cannabis, we care about the second hand smoke from that or cigarettes. The other areas mentioned don’t apply to the general public. Again, if you want to smoke anything, find a remote spot away from other people and be respectful.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my cousin and her husband and children have lived in Mexico since 1980’s. He’s a doctor and born in Mexico. Although he’s now retired his colleagues tell him nightmare stories of visitors/tourists being sexually assaulted, stabbing, shootings, kidnapping and murders. We’ve visited often over the years and they basically guard us when we go out. We were never allowed to go anywhere without one of them with us. Unless you live there, you have no idea.

Edibles are very popular here. We even have cooking classes incorporating cannabis into recipes. They can be very potent, however. A friend told me.
