Now the addictive sport is coming to the high seas. Holland America Line has just been christened the Official Cruise Line of the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA).

they have before, but didn't seem to have it on our last 2 cruises - January 22 and November 22 it was my wife's 'go to' - white chocolate mocha with a zizzle, drizzle, fizzel of caramel ... and whip it cream

hope the 'educators' promo works better than the recent 'medical' promo ... wife verified, never received the email link to cruises. someone had previously posted available cruises and we didn't really see anything special for the 25% discount. we did take advantage of the previous 'medical' promo last year (50% off) and booked a little 4 day on the REGAL back in January 2022

??? why

the VOL-au-vent sounds amazing

never saw a 'tram' when we were there over Thanksgiving. Saw some 'pedal carts' ... (bicycles)

I guess the 'extra' $10 pp was your breaking point - might be ours also depending on OBC ( and if 'excursion credit' is indeed just OBC

has anyone posted about not being able to board because they arrived earlier than their 'assigned' boarding time?

we sometimes follow the KHOU morning weather ... not sure if/why we would ever sail out of Galveston tho,

we will continue to book PLUS at $60 - and in my mind $40 is for beverages. My wife may have a dessert or 2 - maybe. she will average about 4 alcohol drinks - mojito, glass(s) of wine, dunes martini, maybe a malibu and coke. I'll have a few(s) beers, a few(s) glasses of wine, and maybe a single malt. throw in some coffees, waters ... we don't have a lot of OBC, so PLUS still works for us

saving one punch on a coffee card?

will next be excursion credit have to be used for excursions?

does the 3 level mdr? get me a drink faster? get me my food faster and hot food hot? get me out quicker? - not up for 2 hour mdr's anymore...

we don't even drive down to the port (about 4 hours or so) the day of (PE). get down about noon the day before, eat lunch, check in, relax on balcony, go down to bar. next morning, nice shower, 10 minutes to port. works for us

Is there still a Vines? If the SUN Princess does the same old Caribbean itineraries, the ship may very well be the destination

People see what they want to see ... nothing more, nothing less

no tote bags on CB over Thanksgiving no tumblers ( for beverage packages ) no 'elite' bathroom amenities no problem

no UBD on CB over Thanksgiving, at least for us in a lowly deluxe balcony - maybe better with your 'suite statue' Also, the only night we could book Specialty dining was Sabatini's the first night - nothing after that for either CG or Sab. - we were told to just walk up and see if any cancellations, which we did NOT do ...

Noone is forced to buy wifi ... or drinks ... or pay grats ...

when do/did cruises with this promo start?

10xr - green lane for next Halloween cruise ... huh

I had the Cs cab in Vines on the CB a couple of weeks ago at $13 ... maybe someone onboard soon will be able to post the then current price for comparison.

doesn't the wine and others go to $15 when PLUS is increased to $60 pp pd?

as long as 'room service' drinks are still included in the Plus package ...

there is the physical medallion - round 'button like' - think of it like the old cruise card. then there is the medallion 'app' -
