If my hunney bunny was gawking at the boots, and so on, I would say to him to grab his runtail, not walk tail, and move along Pronto! Lol! What a funny thread! Love the goodness!

Football is KING! Hah! We've been onboard for many superbowl events and we always rooted for the wrong team, according to our fellow cruisers. We were in the super minority, to say the least, but we drank beer and had alot of fun and laughed when our team won.

How Important is Having a Mobile Phone Onboard?
albingirl replied to mckath's topic in Holland America Line
No kidding on the roaming charges! I got nailed one year in Spain for an outrageous amount of money, so therefore, and hence forward, I never use my smartphone onboard. My beloved carries his around, but I dare not. My smart phone worked but it's stupid owner, me, never put it in airplane mode! It's pretty cool how I can survive without the incessently depressing news anyhow. -
Ha! The one person in my life who drank martinis was extremely opinionated and kept trying to tell me what a dirty martinis was vs. What! A clean martini. No, I wasn't paying attention because I could have died of boredom right then and there!

Barbados is outstanding. Beautiful beaches!

So positive, thank you. None of the grinding misery of some of the reviews. Hats off!

Moving to 5 Star during a Grand Voyage - Questions on perks
albingirl replied to Wayfairers's topic in Holland America Line
And hence, free laundry! -
In the spring, the southern school districts have various weeks off. Your safest bet for cruise with a minimum of kids is during the fall and deep winter, after the holidays. Or, like others have said, the long cruises generally don't attract families.

Yeah, but maybe you don't want to know. Hey, have a wonderful cruise! Just remember, you can sue if it's bad. Looking forward to your balanced report from one of your unbalanced fans!

Poor guy. He didn't plan on all this. You can ask for a fan to drown out the snoring. White noise helps there. I've found with the all you can drink package, 🍸, I never hear a thing. Magic. Lol.

If you said casual to me, I would be in shorts, no makeup, no jewelry, and me being me. It's a Florida thing. Mind if I bring my comfort pet parakeet while we are at it? Haha!

Agree. There is something strange about handling pens, key cards and so on and then reaching for a lime for your drink. Heck, I never shake anyone's hand anymore in church because of the virus. Thanks for that observation.

Review: Nieuw Amsterdam Sept 3 - Sept 10 (with D2l land tour)
albingirl replied to MrBill923's topic in Holland America Line
10 hour trip and guides talking most the way there. What a nightmare. See, I like to doze on buses and this would seriously irritate me. It's possible that I have very little patience. Sad. -
Ports on Rotterdam Southern Caribbean Seafarer
albingirl replied to KAKcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
I really like port intensive cruises and understand when changes are made. Doesn't mean I'm going to like the changes. I try not to get hyped up about certain ports because with my luck, those will be canceled. In Europe that can be incredibly disappointing. I try to shake it off and remind myself that I am not the Captain here. Love the uniform tho, don't you? -
Trying to Get Information from Calling HAL
albingirl replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
Kind of like Gilligan's Island. Who cares about designated port stops anyway...let's all just hang out at a beach for a few days. Just like the son of the son of a sailor! I'm in. -
Trying to Get Information from Calling HAL
albingirl replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
I think you were asked what was the question you had? And that someone here might help you. People here are generally smart and savvy and very willing to help fellow cruisers. -

But, evidently not lately. Bummer. -
Trying to Get Information from Calling HAL
albingirl replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
To add, social media is useless. I was in business for myself and any negative rating was seen as sour grapes. Laughable, really. -
Trying to Get Information from Calling HAL
albingirl replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
Wow. This went downhill faster than a a flying comet. Court, small claims, and cruisers rights....yikes. How about getting yourself a reliable PCC and then maybe your life can be without worrying about court. -
Two interesting observations from booking a casino deal.
albingirl replied to DaveOKC's topic in Holland America Line
Bragging is the key word here. No need to rub it in guys. But, just think. Pretty soon, all of us 4 and 5 stars, and the gazillion other priority guests can maybe shift over to the non-priority lines. They will surely be shorter if HAL keeps this up! -
PHOTO REVIEW! Just off the Koningsdam to Alaska.
albingirl replied to Bostonjetset's topic in Holland America Line
Will be following and wish to thank you for posting. Travel did sound a bit disorganized but I hope your cruise is seamless and happy. Most cities are facing an ongoing crises with homelessness and it is awful. It seems no one knows the answer to this problem. Do have fun on your trip...your upsell is fabulous!!! -
We tip on top of the tips. We are very tippy people
