  1. I am proud to wear earned pin’s on my Holland America lanyard. My pins include one my late parents earned before the “stars” were. In those days they earned by mileage. I have been stopped times by HAL employees who inquired about them. One two weeks ago on the Koninsdam was so interested he gave me his 150 year magnet pin that is awarded to staff. Tears.
  2. Please no “class”. 1953 sailing from Liverpool to Montreal thanks to dads company we had our own bathroom. There were classes on board. We did not have to go down the hall to use facilities. Decks were assign to your class.
  3. Ongoing construction is the reason. , info from someone who lives there.
  4. @iflyrc5i agree the steps into the pool are a huge improvement. On the Nordham we saw they also have a lift chair at the pool. Another improvement.
  5. Was on sister ship Koninsdam circle Hawaii. Very disappointed to see for a larger ship than others how small both pools are.
  6. @kazu I’m with you. Live alone. Who shives a git what you wear.
  7. I always take powdered Coffee Mate. Liquid cools the coffee. I doubt if it is allowed.
  8. Canned sold from a bar last year was $20.00 for 6 small cans. Don’t know what a glass from the fountain was. May be best to buy the coke sodas plan. Depends how much you use.
  9. Absolutely would love to cruise around the island of Cuba. We have spent many land vacations all over the island. The people are wonderful and there is so much to see.
  10. I gave up on the coffee long ago. I take instant coffee and coffee mate. Mostly the room hot taps are good to make coffee.
  11. Hey. I live alone, rarely see anyone. I’m on a wonderful ship with wonderful friendly people. I’m fed, pampered, laundry done, dishes washed. Complain? Would like to stay longer. y
  12. I had a keepsake combination knife, 1/34”, nail file, scissors confiscated by customs. A presentation gift to a long time employee from a well known company. It had traveled the world before this.
  13. @StLouisCruisers I believe it was near border of Arkansas and Tennessee. Looking at the flight map on board.
  14. I had an experience flying home from San Diego yesterday. A first for me probably many travelers have seen it. I saw a tornado below. Fascinating.
  15. Just off the Circle Hawaii cruise. I always carry a hole punch to make a round hole instead of the pre punched “slit”. This time there was not hole in the card so I did one. Later the card would not open the door. Went to desks and was told it was because there is a hole in it. Hole had nothing to do with the bar code on it. Go figure.
  16. Speaking from experience. If you have an accident on board at the fault of the ship, HAL pays all expenses.
  17. April will be a perfect weather. Have done that cruise 4=times and loved the weather for pool enjoyment.
  18. Don’t board until Jan. 14. But the dressy nights were on the itinerary 10 days before cruise in navigator.
  19. 4 cruises to Hawaii. Love my balcony. Weather beats what I leave at home.
  20. From one solo to another. We are brave to continue to do something that we loved to do with our late partners. They would not want us to give it up. Please continue to sail when you are better. Would love to cross paths with you on one of our BHB.
