Ask for an ice bucket if there is not one in your cabin and leave it full with the lid off under the vent especially at night to hydrate the atmosphere in the cabin.

Again I didn't buy this, but Fred Olsen gave me a digital suitcase scale, use it every time i go on holiday now

Ah, not American 🤣

Just a point of using ATM's in Europe, most if not all bank operated ATM's will use the language of the card holder when you insert it, in my case English, so there is no worry about pressing incorrect buttons when with drawing money. This I have found in Spain, Portugal, France and Luxembourg I have no reason to think it would not be Europe wide.

Technically you will be cruising the waters of the doldrums where the round the world yacht racers get becalmed. Or it might not be 😄

You may get a better deal if you use your cards at an ATM to withdraw euros You may only be charged for drawing cash but get a good deal compared to currency dealers.

As usual, you will receive your luggage tags for disembarkation, but if you are priority as in diamond or platinum, you must listen for announcements. In March out luggage label was called, we missed it and waited in our cabin. We were on level 1 but are diamond members. we could have gotten off the ship much sooner than we did. As it happened all was ok as out lift home was late in arriving 😄
