Says Who Exactly??? Assignments come at all kinds of times, but in MY experience usually around 3-4 weeks. Cheers!

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks SM

Hello all. Wondering if anyone has thoughts on whether or not HAL/The Ship will let me use the $100.00 Shore Excursion credit in my HIA package for something else if I do not want to take any shore excursion? Perhaps swap out for WIFI upgrade or pretty much anything else?? Can this be done once on board if at all???? Ideas or past experience? Thanks Steve

Koningsdam Of Holland America Line..........Thanksgiving week. SM

Was It Out of Order or You couldn't Find It? They all have one somewhere........................... SM

Probably due to spa staff giving tours to pax so that they can decide if they want to purchase any services or spa passes etc...if applicable. SM

No Restrictions of any kind that I can recall from my TA cruise in 2016

Howard, Everything is Co-ed and I think for a fee except the men's changing room/showers. No single sex anything except the locker room. Very disappointing for an ocean liner that does TA's!!

Just go with the flow........................or start it flowing!! You'll figure it out..................;-) LOL S

Look at the last 5 or so pages of this thread and the link will be there.

Among Other "Things".................................LOL

Where did you see 15 minutes? There is no time limit for using the thermal areas. Maybe the loungers just to be polite if someone is waiting??? And YES you will need a swimsuit in the area as it's "co-ed". The mens/womens only saunas do not require one. And they are free!!

Great Pics and GREAT Screen Name!! LOL!! SM

I would LOVE that trip but I am still working so.................... And finding someone to go along with me...........................Single supplement would be beyond my reach...................etc. etc. Only two sea days.............? How will you cope?? LOL

Where to this time you cruising maniac!! ?? I wanna go too!! CD Chris Harley will be back on board as of November and he is a great guy!! So excited about Koningsdam Thanksgiving.........................!!

I had a great male masseur on Seabourn Ovation this July! Seabourn treated us and gave us a freebie! It was quite a nice surprise!! SM

Hi There, I am travelling on Koningsdam solo this November. It will be my first time as a solo passenger out of all my previous 24 or so cruises. Can you explain why you do this? I was thinking about doing this as well....... Thanks Steve

Happy Hunting..................... HAL's demographic has changed a bit and still changing. S

So I don't like any of those choices............Mostly due to the weather possibilities in the Caribbean. Also the HAL choices are the only ones I would consider. For a quick 7 day getaway why not do Mexican Riviera on Koningsdam round trip out of San Diego? They start on November 12th...............

And You Shall Have It!!! LOL

Good To Know...................But Nobody Ever There Does Sound A Bit Lonely To Me.

And Well Attended?? S

Not Sure if it will be a problem, but that location is potentially noisy in the morning at breakfast time. When/Where are you cruising? SM

Agree Completely! It's a whole different cruise experience that is way beyond what the "mega"ships can offer! Be prepared, however, to become a convert and stay with small ship cruises for all your future trips!! SM

I am booked on Koningsdam in a SPA ocean view cabin. Does that give me the weeks pass to the thermal suite? Prolly Not if I have to guess......................LOL
