I'm a big person, although I wouldn't say huge, and the normal robes fit fine.  This thread talks about requesting XXL robes from your cabin stewards, but I have never done this myself:

 

 

Yes , just ask  your cabin steward, they will get one from the spa 3xl.

Thanks so much

Any survival  tips for this TA??  Rotterdam to  Florida 😎  (6 ports )What do you wish you brought for the TA? 

We did not have any cake parties on our last couple cruises. Sure hope they have it in the Rotterdam TA Oct,2024 .We looked too!

No worries! 

 I looked and do not see the cost for taxi to Rotterdam. Any idea of a rough cost?

When doing a mock booking for the 11-Day Canada & New England Circle: Acadia & Newfoundland on the Volendam, when We get to the choose a cabin, we get a mostly blank page that does not have the available cabin map or the pull down menu. A screenshot is attached. 

It happens no matter what I choose. I can do cabin selection on other cruises, just not this one.

Holland Chat just blew me off. Could somebody duplicate the issue? If somebody finds a way to do the cabin selection, post how you did it.

Thanks.

Hi, I am looking at the same cruise(July)  and get the same response.

 😎 Thank you for all your replies and  the great information. We have a year to figure all this out. 

😎 We are doing transatlantic from Rotterdam to Fort Lauderdale 2024.. Are you saying we should check out one way flights using different airlines? Flying from Ft Lauderdale is no issue just from toronto to Amsterdam and then Train to board at Rottetdam. Thanks Anyone done this?

Thanks Crew News, disappointing to read the comments, doesn't look like any major changes other than logo brand. Maybe the price for the tg6 will come down...fingers crossed. I'll be watching.

That would be amazing!! We leave Oct 20. Where did you read this? can you send me the link? thanks

😎 Love cruising to snorkel destinations, My TG5 died and have been waiting for the TG7? Hate to buy the TG 6 already 5 years old.

Any updates on the 7 ?? Fingers crossed!  I have the go pro 10 and the dome, need both. Cheers

We booked Club Orange and booked 6144, any comments on this cabin? First time on the  Rotterdam & CO for us. Thanks for all the tips on CO & AARP.  I ended up with  mid ship 6144 and CO, 200 AARP OBC and the total cost was less than my original plan of deck 7 balcony. so thanks to all😎

Where do you stock up ?

Haljo, I feel the same way,I want to see the Azores😎.

Hey @liamur14 I'm doing my first TA this fall on NS Rome->FLL. I really enjoy the NS and guess I'll find out how I feel about so many sea days. Very interested in your final decision.

Safe travels - enjoy your cruise!

Have fun we’re looking at 2024, same TA… rome to Fll too. Never been on that many sea days. Pretty sure this is the one we’ll  choose😎 im liking all the positivity on the NS.  Cheers 

Thankyou Mary229, im in favour of NS and R. I think that is waay too  many sea days for me. Youre right!

If you're looking for "help" deciding between the two ships, they are both Pinnacle Class (the largest and newest in the HAL fleet). The experience will be very similar.

 

It appears (1) the website is not showing me all the choices -- no 17 days, only longer combined cruises, and (2) one ship will leave from the Mediterranean (Rome?) and the other from the north of Europe, likely Rotterdam. 

 

You should make your choice depending on where you would like to spend a few days pre-cruise! If that is still a draw, the longer cruise always!

Also looking at 17 day Hawaii on Konningsdam😎

We love only having to fly one way internationally.  Also try and book something of the ‘front end’ - another cruise or river cruise or a land trip to justify the cost of the international flight.  I have gotten too old to fly in coach, imo! 😜

Oh my , that is us exactly, thanks for your response.

We did the TA last October from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale on the Oosterdam and it was fabulous.  Now booked this October on the Rotterdam from Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale.  Been on the Rotterdam before and it’s a beautiful ship.

Helen

 Thanks

Thanks Irish, that is the exact cruise I was looking at but in reverse. I was worried about all the sea days, was it rough sailing?
