Live From Alaska Aboard Ms Nieuw Amsterdam - May 5-19, 2024
zestyzorra replied to Crew News's topic in Holland America Line
Hello, I was wondering if you could share pictures of the current Morimoto menu? The sample one online seems much smaller than what I've seen on YouTube (missing the ribs and tacos two ways). I saw on your website the menu pictures from February but I was wondering if they are still the same as of the current Alaska season? TIA! Also, this will be my first ever HAL cruise. Is smoking allowed in the casino? Thanks! -
Oh don't worry about that at all. I had 2 crappy PA's express concern that I would have trouble walking or running. Total BS. And I had 2 ORIF surgeries for the same injury and loads of metal plates and screws installed. I told my surgeon what they said and he made sure I only met with him afterward. The main thing is you will lose considerable muscle mass in the calf on the injured leg. It was obvious looking at my leg for almost a year. But as long as you do the PT exercises and get active as soon as possible, there's no reason you can't make a full recovery. I also learned that having a positive attitude really helped! Control what you can control and let the rest go.

Just wanted to say I'm so sorry. I broke the same ankle & bones in 2020 and it was utterly miserable. It was during the pandemic so no trip to cancel, so I can only imagine having to do that on top of dealing with the injury. Hope you heal quickly!

There is typically an option to upgrade in the cruise planner, but make sure it is a smaller amount (like $6 - $15/day) instead of $60 - $70. I have accidentally gotten the premium package confused with the premium upgrade.

You have to cancel first. It won't let you buy duplicates in the cruise planner.

Isn't that what Anytime Dining means?
-
Did you have to pack because you switched staterooms or because it was Australian policy?
-
We will be doing the RT from Sydney to NZ and back. Does that affect the timing? Honestly, we don't mind going at 9:30am. We have plans from noon to 2pm and can hang out in the Rocks area before, if needed.

Are there a lot of mosquitoes in French Polynesia?
-
I was also wondering how repetitive trivia and game shows tend to be with B2B cruises, for those who are familiar. I will be going on a B3B for the first time in March.
-
So in Australia, can you leave after final call and then come back when general boarding begins? I was planning to leave the ship around 11am and return around 2pm. Sail away is at 6pm
-
I was also wondering the same thing for my upcoming Edge sailing but I ended up purchasing the package anyway. Does anyone know where you go once onboard an Edge class ship to make reservations for the specialty dining package?

Does the Solarium always have that smell?
zestyzorra replied to CruisinShips's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I am so amazed that most people don't notice the smell. I am bowled over every time I go into the Solarium, no matter the ship. I also can't stand the smell so I usually speed walk through or avoid it all together. -
Hello! A few of my booked shore excursions have gone on sale for Black Friday, but they are sold out. (Not sure why they are advertising the lower price when the excursion isn't available, but that's Celebrity for you.) Has anyone had luck cancelling and rebooking at the lower rate? I am nervous to do it because I really want to go on these excursions and in some cases, there are no other excursions available in port. I've also been on hold for an hour now trying to reprice with an agent.... I'd love to know if anyone else was able to cancel and rebook immediately and still get the excursion, just at the lower rate. How long does it take for the spots you've cancelled to reappear for sale? Or is this not worth the risk? TIA!

Pride of America, report, May 2023
zestyzorra replied to georgiacat's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Thank you for your review. I am on the POA in March. If you don't mind a few questions... Did you do any ship excursions in port or tour on your own? Did your sailing include the Napali coast? -
Oh, I am definitely interested! Thank you! I did upgrade to Premium internet for our Edge journey the other day, but I'm very happy to hear Princess has comparable internet included. I'd heard they haven't installed Starlink yet but hopefully that will happen on the Majestic princess before next April. It sounds like it might be worth checking out both Celebrity and Princess on this upcoming TP adventure I'm planning, rather than sticking to the Edge the whole way... the prices on Princess are way better, as you pointed out. Not excited about the smoking indoors... was that noticeable when you sailed Princess?
-
Eddy sounds like an amazing cruise director! I have never done a b2b on the same ship before, but I will be doing the Edge 12 nights around New Zealand and 9 nights in Australia next year. I was considering the following 2 cruises through to Hawaii and Vancouver but worried that the entertainment and food might become repetitive. (I found a Princess cruise that does a similar itinerary but I've never sailed on Princess and I'm worried it will feel like a downgrade.... a discussion for another post.) But Ken, are you feeling like there's enough variety? Is it the magic of Eddy or does Celebrity keep it fresh on long cruises, in general?
