That's a good point!

On my recent Rotterdam, we upgraded to EBP and still had to sign for every drink. It's annoying having to sign for every drink.

Yes, I think so too since you have to sign for every drink already.

$82.60 for the week. That included the service charge. I don't know if I would do it again, but one good thing is that it included unlimited non-alcoholic drinks.

On my Rotterdam cruise I got off of last week, I went to the drink station in the Lido and upgraded my drink package before I had my 1st drink. It was very easy. I did get charged for some drinks though. On day 2 I went to guest services and they printed a new card that showed EBP. Staff looks at that to determine what to charge you.

I got off the Rotterdam last Friday and as promised, I am coming back to report that my travel diffuser works perfectly on the supplied blow dryer in the cabin.

Cani't wait!! I'm on the Rotterdam 12/29 too!!

Last year on the Nieuw Statendam I had a retreat cabana. One day I went in there later than 5 pm to retrieve something and found that was where they were squeezing the oranges. A crew member pulled a the squeezing machine out of the closet and had boxes and boxes of oranges. I watched him put a few oranges in the machine. I was kind of surprised that was the location for the squeezing process. The orange juice is definitely fresh squeezed as others have stated just not tableside. If I recall they also pop the popcorn for like movies up there.

I didn't chime in while you were on board, but I read every post and I want to thank you too for your live thread!

Good thinking on pockets for drink holder. That is what I missed😉

I made adult versions of Poohby Joe's Tshirt for my upcoming cruise on the Rotterdam 12/29. This one is for my friend and mine is navy blue and white. I thought you might enjoy it. We plan on making use of our drink package!! We'll try to upgrade it once on board.

Thanks for your quick response. Wishful thinking on my part!

Hello Poa1, I am greatly enjoying following along with you and it is building my anticipation even more for my cruise in a few weeks on the Rotterdam. In the middle of the night I had the thought that during happy hour, I wonder if the beverage package can be used to get a more expensive drink that would be over package limits. Example would be a glass of wine is $20, but with the 50% off it puts it within the package limits. I wonder if the Institute of Cheer can do some research on that??

It opens pretty wide, but will not work if the diffuser stays on.

Thank you for letting me know. If if can come off, then you can use this diffuser I purchased on Amazon. I checked and right now it is $14.99 and has a 10% off coupon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FWXZ67F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Nope, doesn't work. I'll have to bring mine or maybe a sock over that one will work. Anyone with curly hair knows what a blow dryer without the right attachment does to curly hair!

Thank you!!, that might work. I will try my diffuser on a blow dryer with a similar attachment and see if that works. I really appreciate your quick response!!

Hello QuattroRomeo, thank you for your posts. I am getting very excited for my Dec. 29th cruise on the Rotterdam. Can I ask you a favor? Can you take a picture of the in suite blow dryer? I'm trying to figure if I will bring mine or if I can use my diffuser on it. Thanks

Love those toots!

X is a Party Pooper

I'm getting excited. Will be on the Rotterdam 12/29/23. I can't wait!!

Thank you!

Someone else mentioned that they gave their credit card info when making a purchase with gift cards and the transaction went through on the credit card.

Do you cancel the payment at guest services or do you log into the Navigator App to do it. I'm trying to figure out exactly the procedure. Thanks and enjoy the second half of your cruise!

Thank you!
