Was the alarm accompanied by a voice announcement so novice cruisers who might have forgotten about the final blast knew not to rush to the lifeboats?

It was rather odd, I almost wonder if she was a sub. At the end of the trip a guy introduced himself as the new art instructor at the towel folding seminar and said he had just boarded in Boston so maybe those on the Grand Africa trip will have a better experience!

Temper your expectations. The instructor literally just laid out different color papers then played a YouTube video, stopping it at confusing parts and rewinding it.

It was basically that, a number of pages to pick from and a large selection of colored pencils for each person. It was calming, though I think putting some out everyday like they do crosswords is a nice idea. I don’t think they can supply pencils because people suck and would just steal them. I didn’t mind the class setup- see I was the only person in “class” that needed help because I jammed my sharpener 🤣

Tried to do a free watercolor class on Zuiderdam last week. Art teacher had everyone clear the room while she set up. People were hovering all around the outside while she set up and she had to be strict on keeping people out. When she said we could come in she said there were only like 26 seats and you couldn’t do it if you didn’t get a seat- people swarmed like free booze was being offered. I’m talking elbowing, plopping down on seats as others are pulling them out for themselves- totally absurd. I left and had a drink at the bar instead. Turned around later and saw they were painting color pinwheels. All that nonsense to watercolor some pinwheels LOL. A pre-lunch cocktail was indeed the better call. ETA- prior to this I did adult coloring and an origami class, both of which you needed to arrive like 10 mins before the class but people behaved civilly when we were let into the room

I guarantee I am not showing up for check in at my boarding time of 3pm in Quebec next week with an all aboard of 4:30pm lol.

I went back about 50 pages on the NEW to Hal thread stickied at the top of the forum and worked my way up to the current post over the course of a week or two. You would have most found all of your questions answered and you would have a lot more to consider that you didn’t think to ask about so I encourage you to do the same.

Recent Experience with Embark in Quebec City Question
AllTheSun replied to CNSJ's topic in Holland America Line
Can you report back how this goes for you OP? Boarding Zuiderdam in Quebec later this month myself. -
I can’t wait to take a screenshot of that next month and tell my friends my ship has finally come in! …I’ll see myself out
-
Yes! OP, I’m glad you’re leaving all your tips in place because ^THIS^

If not and you paid with a credit or debit card file a partial dispute for the amount of the binoculars. Not saying you will necessarily win (like you might, it’s not a worthless effort) but it will at a minimum bring the issue to the attention of more people at HAL and light a little fire under them to resolve it.
