We were in an 8th deck aft wrap cabin and wifi was fabulous on our January 7-22 SA/Antartica cruise. My husband was able to take care of business without any problems. We had the wifi that was included with HIA. Cherie

We used Uber in BA twice within the last two weeks. We found that if the time we needed the Uber was important we scheduled an Uber. It costs more but the Uber is there. When arriving in BA from Iguazu we had a taxi and she arranged to pick us up from our hotel to get us to the airport that evening. Same price as Uber. If you would like her Whatsapp I will send it to you. The problem with Uber at the ports is that they give availability and price and then when you are ready it is a moto. If you take a taxi make sure they use a meter. We loved BA. Cherie

Oosterdam in Ushuaia on March 13th 2024, AT NOON🤔😫😫😫😫
cccole replied to kkon's topic in Holland America Line
We arranged a private tour for 3 hours, there were 4 of us. We did not want a tour with a stop for lunch, just wanted to see the beauty of the Tierra del Fuego National Park. We chose to start @1 hour after the ship arrived so we were not in the mad house of getting on the first tender. Sebastian, our guide, has extensive knowledge of the area and we could not have been happier. I will send you the contact info if you are interested. Cherie -
NorbertsNiece - Someone was wearing flip flops on the elevator rug today. Many of us are beginning to pack for our January 7 cruise and I would love any tips you have on packing as you go along. I have another question, if you have time, is Tai Chi a complimentary activity? Absolutely loving your posts. I know that this is not a "Grand Cruise" but for me it will be. I will not be cooking, cleaning, or driving. Cherie

You all look so festive! I would like the iceburg wedge, filet with green peppercorn sauce, mashed potatoes, and creme brulee, please. And red wine. So sad it's our last night dining together. Thank you again for inviting us to your dinner parties. Cherie -

Oh yum...I would like a lemon drop martini, escargot, cracked pepper tenderloin, and dulce de leche and coconut tart, please. Great menu. Our cruise is not about to end is it? Cherie -
I'm pretty particular about the flowers I have in our home and when traveling. I travel with a couple of "Modgy" vases and purchase flowers. This is what we will do in January in Chile. Cherie

Just love this time of night, late afternoon in CA. I would love to try the baby beets, then prime rib, finishing with the ricotta raspberry tart, please. And, a red wine. The photos of San Juan were beautiful. I wonder if this cruise is a bit "off" for Club Orange because they are preparing for Christmas/New Year's week. No excuse but very disappointing. Cherie -

We won't have the Tamarind on our cruise. But I would love the satay sampler, wok seared lobster, and passion fruit cloud. Yum. Love this time of night!!!! Cherie -

I'll have a mixed green salad, sole flamande, and flourless chocolate cake please, with pinot noir. I hope that some of the items on your menus will be available for our 22 day South America/Antarctica cruise in January. Cherie -

Can't wait for our first dinner on board!!! Bon Voyage and thank you for letting us cruise with you again, Cherie -
Hi, We will arrive at HNL 3 hours before our daughter on 11/23. Thinking of lunch and walking to the lei stands before she arrives. Any recommendations for lunch near HNL? La Mariana Sailing Club and Restaurant 604 the closest and best? If we lunch outside the airport we will have the taxi take us to the lei stand before meeting our daughter. I will arrange a car from HNL to our hotel in Waikiki. Thank you, Cherie

Thank you OlsSalt and 0106 for the suggestions. Cherie

It was involving Shackleton but a specific book. I'll try to find my notes. Thank you for trying to help, Cherie

OleSalt - I cannot find the name of the book you have previously recommended for this cruise. I did not purchase it for my husband for Father's Day and want to get it for Christmas. Help? Thank you, Cherie

Rotterdam Oct7 TA - Hungry Whales Azores food tour
cccole replied to Packard's topic in Holland America Line
Agree with Kazu and CruiserBruce - we might look at Viator for tours offered and then book with the tour operator directly. Same thing with hotels. Good lesson for many using Viator and other 3rd parties for their excursions and hotels. Cancellation policy is really important. And, rates are often better if booked directly with hotel and/or tour company. Thank you for posting and reminding all of us. Cherie -
