  1. Sweeping generalizations satisfy the inner snob but rarely match with my experience. If Queen Anne has decided to place emphasis on change, then we have the option to sail with the ships which have what we do want. I guess forewarned is forearmed.
  2. A serene morning arrival into port.
  3. I can. It’s the educational and enrichment activities for me.
  4. I think Christmas decorations on the cabin door are fun! Some are quite well done. I do love @exlondoner’s poinsettia gift. Perfect! We put our tree up in December and it comes down right after New Year’s.
  5. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. ☹️. Hoping that this sailing is joyfull and everything that you need to make it special. 💐
  6. The next door neighbours have their Christmas tree up. 😳
  7. Check your junk mail folder! You probably already did this but I find that some of my legit emails go there.
  8. Note to self. For some reason, cigar smoke gives me an instant migraine. I don’t know why. 🤷‍♀️
  9. This room has potential! I would remove those brown and beige horizontal stripes on the structural posts and give them a marbelized effect. Or maybe even paint them over (in one colour to match the carpet) if they need to keep to a budget. Far too many patterns on the floor so I would extend the geometric carpet to cover the wood. Are those fir trees near the windows? Maybe put some little fairy lights in those so they’re not so standy-outy and to give the room a bit of a festive air. I loved that bar that @MylesS posted in another thread. Don’t know what room that was, though.
  10. Just wanted to report that the new “Set Sail” ad banner (1st pic) sends my iPad into a tizzy whenever it comes into view. I tend to expand a thread size so it is easier to read (makes the text bigger). When I get to the bottom of the page, the ad “jumps” and causes the thread width to expand off the page (see 2nd pic). I then need to decrease the width in order to read the text which, in effect, negates the reason for expanding the thread to begin with. I realize this is a low/no-priority issue but just wanted to give a heads up. Thank you. 2nd Pic:
  11. Since you’re in the Pinnacle Suite you can get there whenever you want. Have a wonderful time!
  12. I have to admit that, as a Canadian, I clicked on this topic out of curiousity. Not what I expected. lol
  13. I am so glad you enjoyed your crossing on the QM2. So much more civilized than air travel. I really enjoyed following along. Safe onward travels and have a lovely holiday!
  14. I wonder… did Carnival also think they could get away with a Holland America Vista ship posing as a “Cunarder”?
  15. Oh, you are right. It’s Luggage Direct forms which are sent prior to disembarkation (on certain itineraries). @BermudaBound2014, I found this in the Know Before You Go:
  16. I wonder who is processing the Luggage Forward forms they send out with your disembarkation tags, then? I am pretty sure it’s Guest Services. 😂
  17. Yes, you will only lose the non-refundable deposit if you cancel prior to final payment. We had the same issue.
  18. I’ve smelled the smoked old fashioned in the Ocean Bar a number of times so it seems to be a popular drink. I might give it a try one day. WRT the sweetness of the Lemon Drops, I always tell the server not to give me the bar mix because I don’t like sweet drinks. I always ask for it fresh (ie, with real squeezed lemon and just a little simple syrup). I did enjoy the blended mango cocktail in Billboard Onboard. Not sweet, and pleasantly refreshing.
  19. If it’s any help, I use Safari on both my Apple devices (cell and iPad) and I got it on both. 🤷‍♀️. But only the once. Possibly because I never log out.
  20. Beautiful, @NE John! Here in Virginia we are not quite at peak but I will post some pics once they’re at their prettiest. I think Fall is my favourite season. 🥰
  21. I emailed Reservations_Submit@hollandamerica.com to request assistance. I included my name, mariner #, booking #, and sailing date. I also included a screenshot of the sailing within the “My Bookings” page of my mariner account, as well as the verification approval. I received verification of the OBC being applied to my sailing within two business days.
  22. I always bring a motion sensor from the dollar store. Fits great in the receptacle and it won’t break my heart if I forget it. WRT orchids, I used to pay $1 for them at the market next to us in Florida. I recall being totally shocked to see them growing in the trees in our neighborhood. That was an aha moment for me. Of course, I don’t live there anymore but it sure was enlightening!
  23. Wow. That is a super deep drop off to be able to accommodate a ship! Looks like erosion is a concern too.
