Does anyone know of place to buy wine in Tampa near the cruise  port or the airport? 

I've never had an ov room, but if they are the same size as a veranda they are very small. If you are tall or overweight it is a tight fit!

Hope you will continue to post about your cruise. We will be on the Oosterdam in March and would enjoy reading about your adventures.

I'm enjoying the virtual cruise. We will be on the Amsterdam on August to do the real cruise and can't wait. Do you happen to know what days the PG is open for lunch? We've never tried it and have read that lots of people think it is very good. Thanks, looking forward to the next port report.

Could someone provide a current La Fontaine upper dining room layout for HAL Amsterdam? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Family always makes a meal special. Was the menu as seen on the HAL website?

Has anyone eaten at Le Cirque recently on the Veendam. If so, what was your impressions?

Looking forward to reading future posts. We will be on the Veendam in October.

Which category of room has toasters? I've never had one in my stateroom and have been in verandas mostly and once in a Neptune suite.

Thanks to all for the information. You've given me lots to think about and research. Unfortunately it's just one day.

We will be in New York on the Veendam on Oct. !7. Has anyone used the Hop on Hop off there? If so, what did you think of it...easy to use, short/long wait times? In one part of the tour description it says it is 4 hrs. In another part it says it is good for all day. Anyone know which it is? Any other ideas for excursions would be appreciated.

I just got back from Alaska on the Statendam and noticed at least 3 "service dogs" on the ship. I don't think I have ever seen dogs on the ship before. Just wondered if this is more common now and how others felt about it. I'm not much of a fan of sitting next to a dog in the MDR.

We just arrived at 4 star status on the last cruise. Looking forward to priority tendering, but would like to know how it works. Is there a special line? Wouldn't seem nice to march to the front of the line and cut in.

We are looking forward to being on the Zuiderdam in January. I would love to hear about any HAL excursions that you took.
