From a variety of sources: "Former cruise exec Lisa Lutoff-Perlo named CEO of 2026 World Cup Miami Host Committee"

I booked our May Volendam back to back cruise three hours ago and I already have approval for our stock credit. I sent the email the old way, wasted an hour trying to get the phone app and downloads with a suggestion that we might get approval within a week. Love the old way!!

Volendam procedure for a back to back cruise
C 2 C replied to mailmama's topic in Holland America Line
It does not get any simpler once you have already passed through immigration in a previous port. When are you travelling? -
It all depends on the "cruise director". We were on N Statendam and there were opportunities with BB King, and the pianos, and a DJ.. Forget about the Rolling Stones lounge. Things are changing. Young people seem to like dancing "at a distance". Bands are being cancelled. We even had music in the Crow's Nest and recorded music. On Zaandam and Zuiderdam we were disappointed. Fast dancing: the second best form of exercise; slow dancing leads to the first.

Reflection speciality dining, if you could pick one?
C 2 C replied to kaz828's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you are very very hungry, no other choice offers an equal stuffing as the Porch. Murano is our favourite because it is fine dining at its best and I pace myself to get to the cheese! -
Live from the Volendam - please join the Merry Widows on their cruise 😊

Celebrity Constellation Refurb 2024? Is this a nice ship?
C 2 C replied to Marga.Anders's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We have cruised on Constellation for nearly 20 years. She is our favourite Celebrity ship, recently cruising for two months from December to January 2024. The modifications will be minor. The crew is fantastic: in our opinion better than any Royal experience (10+ from Enchantment to Allure). The itinerary is more important than the ship. The cabin choice on the "old" ships are superior to Celebrity's newer ships, depending on your Euro bank account... -
Driving to Quebec City-where to park for cruise
C 2 C replied to Moncton gal's topic in Canadian Cruisers
There are two different piers. When we cruised on Holland America, they gave us the wrong address. The Old Town Pier parking is twice as expensive but very convenient. We cruised out of the new terminal and the parking lot is a 15 minute walk. -

Why is Celebrity Cruises Ignoring California Ports ?
C 2 C replied to CDRonboard's topic in Celebrity Cruises
In reality, I think it is a shortage of ships for X. The ones they have positioned now are profitable. -
Why is Celebrity Cruises Ignoring California Ports ?
C 2 C replied to CDRonboard's topic in Celebrity Cruises
You're a bear for punishment, or is that bare? -
We cruised this itinerary frequently. We love the fort. Rent a car and enjoy the Cabot Trail or simply walk into town..
-
The Vancouver terminal can be quite the challenge. I've heard reports that pax from every cruise line get in line for immigration screening. There is not necessarily a line for HAL or Celebrity or Royal. We always show up early.

Good news with Celebrity cruise. Report the changes
C 2 C replied to tomcruiser1234's topic in Celebrity Cruises
When we were on Constellation over the holidays, Celebrity often charged an exchange of 45% when booking a future cruise. It was much cheaper booking in US$ than CAD$. Certain CDN credit cards will offset the exchange rate. -
On both Celebrity and HAL, dress up night means a long sleeved shirt with an optional tie. That's not me. I dress up with a jacket to compliment my wife.

We have cruised a lot: a bunch on Celebrity, a dozen or so with Princess and Royal, 20+ on HAL and one Norwegian, the Dream (aka the nightmare). In September 2022 we cruised on HAL Nieuw Statendam from Quebec to Boston and back and enjoyed the ship so much we booked 8 B2Bs over Christmas and New Year. We love this ship but the entertainment ie., theatre was mediocre on a good day. The "music walk" however was great from jazz to classical to the Rolling Stones. From reading the latest comments, the music is not as varied as it was a year ago. No one has better itineraries than HAL. The food is great, the service is wonderful but don't book because of the entertainment on board. The quality just varies too much.

how Many People Started Cruising Before 1995
C 2 C replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Holland America Line
The oldest Carnival ship, I thought was the Mardi Gras, purchased from Canadian Pacific and still uses the colours used by Canadian Pacific on their locomotives (a RR company) -
