Great pics. Such a beautiful city. We took the HOHO bus when there as it is definitely too big of a city to see completely in a day!

Lucky you!!

That’s cool! I’ll have to remember to bring some myself! Reflection was our last cruise pre-Covid & has always been our favorite S class ship. Nice that she’s had a “facelift”!

Following! Got our 3rd Reflection cruise coming up in Feb. so will be interested to hear how the ship looks so hope you have time (and bandwidth) to post photos.

Hope they release Europe ‘24 soon…I’d like to use the Amex Plat offer which expires end of year. (25K points when spending $1000).

Well there are lots of other beers in the Netherlands, and of course many from neighboring Belgium & Germany. If a smaller line like Viking can offer decent beers (& wine) no reason larger lines can’t also. ‘The beer selection (or lack thereof) is my husbands pet peeve. Worste case was “craft” social bar on Apex which was anything but craft beers.

Let’s hope to gets a refurb before that. In sad shape ….

Here’s the link to the bar menus. Now, on other cruiselimes I’ve found that (even pre Covid ) they often didn’t stock what was on the menu. https://rogerjett-photography.com/specialty-2/hal-regular-and-specialty-restaurants/hal-beverage-menus/

Good to know - esp. since their stock is rather low!

Thanks Bruce; will check regularly then (not like I haven't 😀)

No option yet on our 4/29/23 cruise. When do those become available generally?

Good to know! Celebrity is our favorite line and we have our first HAL cruise booked for April '23 on the Rotterdam (Fjords). What is the stockholder benefit w/ HAL?

Oceans - Rivers - Expedition??

Nice if you can afford business class, but some of us have to fly economy - more $ for other trips that way.

Indeed. Only worth taking Viking air if it’s free as there are lots of cheap airfares out there !

Glad to see 2024 river sailings now on website. Hoping for some good deals to use a voucher !

European River cruise offer - in email today: Reduced Fares plus up to FREE International Airfare Offer code "RCR" Expires Sept. 30th Wish they'd post 2024 river cruise schedule!!!

Thanks for your 2 week live review! We were on last week in a balcony cabin - and concur that it was a marvelous ship and crew! After a very disappointing Med cruise on Vision in June, I was very happy to enjoy the wonderful entertainment and amenities on Quantum. Our cabin - midship deck 8 - was fantastic with more storage than we’ve had on Royal, Viking or Celebrity. We saw whales from our balcony on 3 different days!!! As for the customs lines, we saw a woman cut in the line about ten people ahead of us and when she was challenged, she pulled out pepper spray. Other cruisers called for security and when she denied her actions, she was loudly denounced. She was pulled out of line for about 20 minutes but was not arrested and smugly sailed through the line ☹️Pretty nervy to say the least.
