We are back from our HAL excursion Ultimate Curacao, Beach & Turtle snorkel & lunch. We are still in Curacao until 10:30pm tonight. Our excursion was great. The “boxed” lunch was good too-chicken in a wrap, cookies, apple, pop or water. I took photos with our old underwater camera & we’re very happy how they turned out. I’ll attach a couple I took. I would recommend this tour.

Interesting new listing on Eurodam's MDR menu today....

Pretty crazy isn’t it. Let’s hope they get an update for the Nav app soon. At least I can chat with our friends on messenger or text while on the ship still. -

Some info of what to not do while away & bored: Anyone with an iPhone I’ll warn you right now-I was bored yesterday so updated to iOS 17.1.1. Well, my navigator app works but NOT the chat. Neptune concierge tried to help, phoned the IT who couldn’t it to work so escalated. Hope they figure it out soon as that’s how we’ve communicated with our friends on board. 🤷♀️ -

If I think of it tonight (we have late dining) I’ll look. Seems to me there has been 1 different item every night that is shown just above the regular menu. (And it’s not just because we are in a Neptune as our friends get it too) Loving the Eurodam! -
Look closely at your statement. For our 35 day cruise if we bought the Premium (I think that’s what it was called) HAL cancel for any reason insurance, final payment wasn’t until a month after that. Not sure if that’s an option for you or not.

It was fine tonight when we walked by. I think it’s quite random & only for seconds. We did have an issue regarding the temperature in our Neptune suite-I’m one that likes it quite cold but it was freezing. Tried for 2 days to warm it up & they finally did. Now it’s great. The ship is in fine form in our opinion. Staff are wonderful too. Just had an amazing dinner in the Tamarind.

We are on the ship now and find sometimes mid ship just before where you turn to get an elevator it smells like that for just a couple seconds. Deck 7.

Eurodam in Port Everglades on November 7, 2023

It’s just nice sometimes to put faces to names on here. Our “kids” laughed at that photo. Guess having the HIA makes for some fun as I don’t usually drink 😁 -

My husbands luggage wasn’t here. It showed on our apple tag still at dock and it was 3:30. Went to Neptune concierge who made phone calls & thankfully found it. Stressful. So we decided to just invite our friends to come sit on our port side balcony. We are just back of the elevators. -

Lol. Well I wasn’t about to say anything as I’m on the dam ship already & eating at the Neptune lounge! -

We didn’t request a wave but we always sail out from aft deck port side where pool is. I love hearing the horns & seeing the waves from the condos there. Hubby is very tall with a green top & I’m short with a green top. I’ll be waving. Lol. Quickest check in at cruise terminal ever. Only Eurodam & another ship. Now upstairs with lemonade & cookies! Getting real now! -

🚢 🛳️ 🚢 Bon Voyage to rafinmd - November 12th, 2023 🥂 🥂 🥂

Bon Voyage! Have a wonderful time! -
We haven’t left yet and have the HAL tour booked on November 13. I’m hoping we won’t be disappointed but us & friends cruising with us have signed up too with the HIA. I attached a photo of the one we signed up for. Fingers crossed and hoping we see turtles! i actually just went & read reviews about crowding where the beach & turtles are & the crappy boxed lunch. Ugh. We will probably have to keep this tour but if it’s bad I’ll be using Irie Tours next time.

I have used tap water on my sailings on HAL for my CPAP and never an issue. Or if you’re more comfortable you could use bottled water.

Thanks everyone! So looking forward to finally being on a cruise again-last time was on the Oosterdam December 2019! -
We have gone with Woodwind several times and SeaCow once. Last time I tried to book privately with SeaCow they couldn’t do it as I guess had the contract with the ship. Both those companies are great. We are booked with Lady Bellais for our upcoming November cruise as we wanted to try a different company.
