Hi Kazu, Can you please add the 15 day Bahamas Caribbean/Eastern Wayfarer Nov 2, 2024 sailing on the Eurodam please? We decided to book this one while on Rotterdam last week-- a pre-holiday getaway! Many thanks! Cathy Cailey53

No

Hi Jacqui, We have a change for 2024-- please delete the July 27 21 Day Norse Legends and Britain Scotland and Ireland on Rotterdam and add June 9,2024 28 day Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice on Westerdam. Many thanks! Cathy Cailey53

HI Jacqui, Please add us to the 1/28/2025 18 Day Circle Hawaii on Koningsdam sailing. We had this itinerary booked in early 2020 and you know how that went... trying again!

Please add July 27,2024 21 Day Norse Legends and Britain, Scotland and Ireland on Rotterdam. Couldn't resist that onboard booking bonus and early release Mariner bonus last week! Many thanks! Cailey 53 Cathy and Mitch

Please remove us from the July 1 2023 21 day Voyage of the Midnight Sun and Norse Legends. We've decided not to fly internationally next year and instead have found a domestic sailing on Viking. Hoping that Amsterdam airport improves in 2024 !!

We couldn't resist booking another one now that the 2024 Caribbean sailings are open: 21 Day Southern Caribbean Seafarer/Panama Canal Sunfarer January 26-Feb 16 2024 on Rotterdam. It will be interesting to see if we use the new locks! Thanks for all you do! Cailey53 Cathy

@janmcndid you carry your own luggage off??

Thanks for the info and map!

@janmcn when you say “go around the corner” to get an Uber, which corner are you referring to? We debark the NS on Saturday and plan to do Uber or Lyft to the airport and I’m not that familiar with the Boston port. TIA for any help!!

Yes metal walls. I’ll attempt to post a photo. Have no idea why it’s upside down but you get the idea!!

We plan on leaving the batteries in--they should last up to a year and the type of battery is easy to find on Amazon.

We plan on using Binax Now tests on Monday for a Wednesday sailing— one question— can we both do our tests on the same call or will it require a second sign in for the second person? We plan on using a laptop but also have the Navica app installed on my phone. Thanks!

Try this thread— we are in a bump verandah on 7 and I found this. Photos down a bit on the thread. https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2723115-nieuw-statendam-category-v-bump-out-stateroom/

@ivanidea, I don't think you need 2 iPhones--just 1. We just bought the 4 pack of AirTags during Prime Days, and when I set them up, they are all on my phone. You get a chance to "name" each tag and then each of them shows up on the "Find My" app on your phone. As long as you have a way to keep the tags straight (we ordered some holders), you can see where each tag is. Pretty slick!

Yes, used gift cards to pay for all my remaining balance— flights, port fees, insurance.

You can purchase either— the difference is you are limited to 5 gift cards/month through AARP, but the 10% “bonus” is netted off at the time of purchase (eg— purchase $2500 worth of cards for $2250). AARP cards do not expire. The HAL cards also have the 10% bonus, but it comes in the form of a “bonus” card. The original gift card has no expiration but to bonus cards expire in approx 1 year. For $2500 worth of cards, you pay $2500, and you have $250 time limit bonus cards.
