Thank you aungrl, much appreciated. I'll have a look and see if they also ship to Canada.

My mom (senior), is looking for a new lightweight travel backpack that she can use as her carry-on for the airplane. She is looking for something that has a padded section for her iPad, exterior waterbottle pocket, a few compartments for organization, a light coloured lining or interior so things are easily found, a separate pocket for a cellphone and/or keys would be great. She also wants something that she can carry comfortably. She doesn't use any wheeled carry-on luggage because for her, getting it overhead to put into an overhead airplane compartment isn't an option. Any recommendations from travellers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

I didn't have the pea soup, but had their sandwiches, quiche, apple pie, cookies, beverages, etc.. I'll have to try that next time!

Hi doone, We did 2 back to back cruises in September 2022 and booked a cabana for the second cruise only (separate booking number). It was no issue, but did have to commit to that entire cruise. HAL staff did state that if there were any remaining available, they could do "day" rentals. We splurged on this on the Niew Statendam on the East Coast cruise and LOVED being spoiled. Although the weather was cool, it was a quiet spot to read of book, be delivered a coffee or hot chocolate from the amazing staff, comfy loungers and blankets for those cool days, and use of the Cabana Area Hot Tub! The staff there treated us like royalty.

Does anybody have a list of HAL Cruise Ships that have the Dutch Cafe? I know the Niew Statendam does, but wondering which others do? Was a HUGE fan of this spot on the Niew Statendam when cruising with them last Fall 2022. A great spot for a casual lunch, quick snack & drink, and a great spot to rest and re-group after an excursion. Thank you all in advance!

Hi johnmik1, If you are able to get into Toronto, ON - there are flights from Toronto Island Airport flying with Porter Airlines flyporter.com . This is a much smaller airport than Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It is easy to get to from Pearson Airport or from the Via Rail line. It is right downtown Toronto on the lake, and has flights daily to Quebec City. This is the airline my mom and I flew last year on our East Coast Canadian Cruise with HAL out of Quebec City. I personally much prefer flying out of the Toronto Island Airport whenever I can (Pearson airport is huge and the wait times can be long). Hope this helps.
