I don't think so. When I was last on the NA, I created a log on searching for a 25-35 year old wealthy man who was looking for a 60+ woman to connect with onboard ship. I never got a single reply, so I guess that it does not work. :( ;)

Here is the reply to my request for information from Princess Cruise line -

Power sockets in the cabins onboard Majestic Princess include: 1 x China socket 220V 1 x Italian/Euro socket 220V 1 xUS socket 110V 2 x USB ports (built inside the base of the bed side lamp on the night stand)

Thank you so much for your help. This sort of information should be part of the "know before you go" information that is given to all passengers.

How can I find out what power sockets are on the new Majestic Princess ship? Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to share.

 

 

Personally, I wasn't a fan of the cheese plates as there are only certain cheeses I want/like and I hate wasting food, but I am keeping an open mind for March :)

 

Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise :)

Kazu - that is what husbands are for. You take two plates of cheese, put all the pieces that you like on one plate and give him all the remaining pieces. Works for me!!! :)

Which deck are you wanting to be on?

The Army never heard of "glamping".

Did the army not provide you with a complimentary 'wake up' call?

First time on the Amsterdam? I have 27 wonderful days on her.

Yes this will be our first time on her. We loved our Baltic trip on the Prinsendam, so I am expecting that this cruise will be just as good on a small ship.

Panama and Alaska sounds great. Have you been through the canal before?

This will be my first time for both parts of the cruise. My DH came through the canal when he emigrated to NZ. This will also be my first trip to Florida.

Scrapnana, I think you are leaving on Amsterdam's next World Cruise. I'm on her next Grand Voyage. Next 2 times Amsterdam embarks on a big cruise one of us will be on board.

I am having great difficulty getting anything done today - I have to keep sneaking a peak at the Amsterdam!! The next time she leaves from Ft Lauderdale we will be on her for two of our dream cruises - Panama and Alaska!!

Google a site that has information about "HAL Facts". Go to cabin pictures, Vista class. 1073-zuiderdam. This is what the large internals on Main Deck look like.

Thank you for your suggestions Dennis. Your help is appreciated.

What is the easiest way to transfer from the Seattle Cruise terminal to a hotel in down-town Vancouver. Thank you for your help.

I imagine at least some guests went ashore for dinner inVenice. I believe, my late DH and I would not have had dinner on the ship if we could have eaten ashore. We would have made sure to re b ack in plenty off timefor life boat drill. No sense pushing our luck. Darn but I miss Him.

Hold onto all the wonderful memories.

Eurodam and Amsterdam are currently scheduled in Seattle next summer. If Oosterdam comes back I wonder which it will replace and where that ship will redeploy. I'm still wondering if they are getting ready for a ship to leave HAL sooner than originally expected.

It may be the Amsterdam. We are booked to go FL to Seattle then staying on for the May 14 Alaska BtoB on Amsterdam. My booking now shows an extra Oosterdam booking as well for the Alaska dates. (I have 2 bookings now for the 14-21 May Alaska). The new booking is for the same cabin catagory but in a much poorer position so I am not a happy camper at the moment!!!!

Be very careful not to take one of the added cabins on the Promenade deck.

AA200-AB219

It looks like a beautiful evening.

Sneeze in the crook of my arm

(Off topic)

We teach children to always sneeze and cough in the crook of their arm at school. But I did have to laugh when I was testing a five year old and pointed to his elbow and asked "what is this called?' His reply "cold catcher"

We only went through immigration not customs and it took about 5 minutes. We were amongst the first off the ship. Ship docked at 6.30 and our tour start time was 7.30.

It did take a little longer each afternoon going back on.

Enjoy this amazing city.

We are going on our first cruise this weekend and our group is going all out for the 2 gala nights. Tuxes and long gowns all the way! Can't wait.

Have a wonderful cruise.

We dress up for dinner every night. I have no intention of becoming part of "the lowest common denominator". We dress the same as we would to go out to a quality restaurant at home.

Be yourself, have fun, and enjoy your cruise.

Looks like a lovely evening to be sailing on the beautiful Amsterdam.

I did not get the email, can someone look up my sailing for me - April 26, 2107, Panama Canal on the Amsterdam, 18 days FLL to Seattle.

We are booked on this cruise. When I checked just now it was showing the new promotion. And the price for a OV cabin had gone down by $100. Just sent an email to my agent. Thanks for the heads-up.

We did a 24 day cruise and land touring in September. Here are my suggestions -

1) Take one bag each (Yes it can be done!). Think very carefully about weight. Can you can lift the bag up the stairs into the train.

2) Plan your trip and then pre-purchase your rail tickets buying early bird FIRST Class. There is more room for your luggage and less pushing and shoving as you board the train, if in first class.

3) Check Rick Steves web site for lots of valuable advice, including what to pack, and how to travel in Europe.

PS: I used a back pack. It weighed 7.8kg (17 pounds).

She is a beautiful ship.

We used Red October and can highly recommend them. Just ask them to tailor a tour especially suitable for you.
