  2. That is the general number for ship's services. They can do quite a bit in addition to table assignments, for all ships.
  3. One other thing to add, the total spending for all occupants of the cabin is what counts toward the bonus 'days' for the first two occupants of the cabin. Occupants 3 & 4 do not receive bonus 'days'.
  4. I don't think there is a cap per day. The total you spend over the cruise divided by 300 gives you the number of bonus days, with a limit of the number of days in the cruise.

  21. The production shows are for the World (Main) Stage. This doesn't change any other entertainment on the ship. Volendam (pole to pole) doesn't have a Music Walk really and Zuiderdam (World Cruise) has a much smaller area for entertainment. The Music Walk is really only on the newest Pinnacle Class Ships.
  22. While not 15, the Grand Australia / New Zealand that started January of this year had about 12 different shows, so this is not exactly "new". The Singers/Dancers from the GANZ stayed aboard for another month and performed again on the following Panama Canal and Atlantic Coastal. One of the singers also told me that they had been constantly performing since the restart and had been on the Grand Africa in '23.
  23. Today is National JELL-O Day, National Pecan Pie Day, and Night of Nights Expert: a man who makes three correct guesses consecutively. - Laurence J.

  24. Like @rafinmd mentioned, the single cabins ( similar to HC cabins ), sell out quickly. There might not have been any available when you booked. This cruise on Rotterdam already shows that the solo cabins are sold out. 21-DAY PANAMA CANAL & SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN: ABC ISLANDS Sun, March 1 - Sun, March 22 2026
  25. The single cabins started with the first Pinnacle Ship (Koningsdam) and are now included on Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam. They are all on deck 1 forward and vary in size. Photos of several can be found at https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/ I have been in 1012 on all three ships. It is convenient to all the entertainment venues and not a terrible walk aft to dining options. I haven't been bothered by noise from the main stage, although some may have been. When Koningsdam first joined the fleet prices for these cabins were very good. However, because of demand the price has increased and is sometimes not much lower than going in a regular oceanview as a solo.
