Here's one arrangement I'd gotten a few weeks ago if it helps:

We had last Thursday's game on the Westerdam, at the Gallery Bar... Not sure if stateroom televisions had access to it.

On the Westerdam currently... I don't have a strong opinion on tipping additionally to what's automagically charged, but I do find the printed receipts after every drink annoying and wasteful. Feel like I'm signing something every 5-7 minutes (although perhaps this says more about my drinking habits than anything else). Having to give my card at Pinnacle, to order a glass of wine? It all seems so archaic. An example of an alternative would be in Las Vegas; it's simply a verbal declaration of room number, and last name. It'd be nice if HAL had a similarly easy procedure.

Currently on Westerdam in a signature suite - robes, blankets, umbrella, and slippers were in the room when we arrived. I requested a 2nd pair of slippers and they were dropped off without issue.

We used OnPoint this morning, worked well. We used the tests that we received free from the feds, iHealth branded. Easy peazy.

Very cool, thank you!

When drinking at the bars onboard, is there usually table service, or are we ordering at the bar? I don't have a preference, just like to be "in the know" when I walk into a place. If it's ship specific, we'll be on the Westerdam a week from now. Thank y'all!

Enjoying your posts quite a bit!

Yeah, this has been the case - but as seen in the graphic, it depends on your particular cruise's endpoints.

Just wanted to circle back and thank y'all for the ideas and memories. I appreciate it!

Will be on the Westerdam September 11th - definitely appreciate the posts, and am enjoying following along with you 🍻

On the Westerdam in early September for a 7-night cruise to Alaska. First cruise as an adult, and 2nd cruise overall. What sort of things have y'all done on your cruises to celebrate? It's our first wedding anniversary. I have wine, flowers, and such for embarkment day. We have specialty dining a few nights, and at Pinnacle for our actual anniversary. I'm planning a couples massage and hydropool access. Are there obvious things I'm missing, that a more seasoned HAL cruiser would plan? Appreciate your thoughts & time!

+1 same cruise, same result on the android app

My wife (retired Air Force) just applied for this as well. We're on the Westerdam 9/11 to 9/18 for our anniversary.
