Where is smoking on Noordam? When I search I see conflicting info on HAL, some places say Crows nest, some refer to outdoor location on ship. I even called HAL and yet again received different info.

Ty everyone. I called and they are emailing the ship to see if they carry Carolans Irish cream and Royal Reserve Canadian rye whisky. If they do, I can purchase via email and I will request the at sea to avoid taxes. Thanks for that info.

HAL Noordam in May to Alaska. How do I get bottles of alcohol in the room on embarkation day? We like to have our drinks in the room. Can I order them now to be in the room when we board? Ty.

How far is parking at west park at Canada place from boarding the Noordam? How long is the walk? Thank you.

In Ketchikan I bought canned smoked salmon. There was a man outside his shop giving samples of the salmon served on Ritz crackers with cream cheese, topped with the salmon.

New to Holland and haven't cruised in many years. Noordam Va5088. Hope we will be able to see whales if they go by the ship even though we are deck 5 above lifeboats. Told TA wanted unobstructed view. She says it is. Btw I get motion sickness even in a car so we are midship on purpose.

Is parking at the pier safe?

Is the tender easy to get on and off? I have poor balance.

We plan to purchase bottles such as Baileys to drink in our cabin. Is there a less expensive way to purchase or should we order from wish list now? I can't tell if prices are different on embarkation day or by using room service or the bar to order. We usually buy Carolands which is less pricey than Baileys but I don't see it listed.

a drink package seems too much for the amount we will drink.

How should we have pet sitters contact us in case of emergency? Hate to leave cell phones on due to roaming charges.

Thank you for your responses in advance.
