  1. Post #170 has images of the food in PG. Crab Cakes were average, Scallops were a little gritty. Service was ok. I would not consider paying the upcharge for PG (even with 50% mariner discount) as it does not give value, in my opinion. Sometimes we don't even bother taking the 'free' meal with HIA.
  2. I believe that it will not make a difference to Canaletto and it is more to do with the sequence of 'Dressy' nights which will affect the running order of menus in MDR.
  3. We are 193 days (and a few hours and minutes) out from our next cruise and navigator is showing "Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner). So who knows how far out the menus will show! P.S. i was surprised at how seamlessly the app switched to the next cruise on completion of the last cruise.
  4. However HAL will sometimes throw the curved ball and use Menu Day 4 on Day 3 of a particular cruise. on our recent 14 day cruise it happened several times that Day 5 menu was presented on day 4 and Day 13 menu was presented on Day 12 etc
  5. Stateroom tv Casino bar Sometimes on Lido Pool screen (not at 2.15am though 😉)
  6. Sprite Zero was available on Rotterdam during the last cruise.
  7. 7 day Alaska menu will be different to 7 day Med menu which will be different to 7 day Caribbean menu which will be different to 7 day Asia menu which will be different to 7 day Northern Europe menu. Each has small updates each season. @Crew News was informing you that the 7 day Caribbean menus have not been seen yet as the season has not started yet. A current 7 day menu will not be the exactly the same.
  8. The one making the most profit would be 'best cruise company in my opinion'. What relevance would that have to anything?
  9. Real eggs are used for fried eggs, eggs benedict and poached eggs. You can watch them break open a real egg shell.
  10. Apologies for the break in transmission! Ellen had been feeling unwell and getting very tired, very quickly. We had to rearrange our daily schedule and plans to accommodate the necessary rest and her energy levels. I will finish off the posting of Daily Programs and Menus and then some overall thoughts on the cruise.
  11. Oops! Sorry, I thought (presumed) this weekend. Actually i didn't think ar all!
  12. It is hard to imagine that we are already into HAL Sailaway Season from Port Everglades. I will miss this one as we are disembarking Rotterdam in Amsterdam before the ship heads over to PE for her Caribbean season. Thanks for the reminder.
  13. I know it really isn't relevant to OP's delay, but this is Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada. May have made a difference with seat availability to YVR.
  14. She is on board and if I run into her over the next couple of days I will pass on your good wishes to her.
  15. There have been no BBC movies on Main Stage on Rotterdam this cruise. Indeed I don't remember any mention of BBC movies at all. They have had a couple of first showings - Book Club the next chapter, Fast X, as examples, shown on mainstage screens but not available in stateroom.
  16. If I was a planner (and not just a control freak) then I would be pencilling in the end of November for Rotterdam, between Nieuw Amsterdam and Nieuw Statendam. But I have no idea what is involved in installation; is it a day or a couple of days? Actually I am just mumbling to myself. 😁
  17. The music, dancers, entertainers etc are not listed on the chrononlogical list, but in separate panels of the Daily Program. The are listed chronologically within the Navigator App. Look at the Right half of this recent Daily Program - Presentations/Performances/ Music Walk
  18. AFAIK they send only one email confirmation per FCD. There is only space on the FCD Request form for the one email address, they will all go to that one email account, unless you specified a separate email account for your FCD's. If no email address was mentioned on the request form, then I guess the email address of the lead passenger on the cruise on which the FCD request was made, will be used. I just received the emails for 4 FCD's and they are not consequetively numbered. If you have proof of payment (ie the record of the credit card charge for all the FCD's is should be simple enough to have the missing FCD's restored to the appropriate account.
  19. Rolling Stone Rock Room band were great tonight, but BBKings were outrageously good. They did a Carlos Santana set that was amazing.
  20. You always throw in a tear jerker! It is 11.30 pm here on Rotterdam and after 3rd dressy night (BBKings were outrageously good) and chocolate surprise, its time for bed. Wishing a safe flight and happy landings in Amsterdam Schiphol. Goodnight.
  21. Thanks. Just hoped that they had got rid of the tubs and fitted showers only. The temperature control is amazing.
  22. Puspa, the young lady who looks after us in the Lido each evening was beyond excited tonight as she is getting 2 hours ashore tomorrow. That is just so hard to imagine for us.
