I love the priorty boarding, the pinnacle breakfast, and the extra room. We also get a cabana. We want to relax!

As ex smokers, more than 20 years, smoke outside has never bothered us. Now those that bathe in perfume..... Can be annoying. But believe it or not, we will get over it:)

I almost get the issue with returning towels. On HMC it is only HAL so a striped towel is theirs. If it is another port, ok, you return however many you sign out. But I want one for the chair or sand, and one to dry off or to keep me covered from the sun. One towel does not serve:(

We have been cruising HAL since our late 30's. We have had high pressure jobs and love the relaxed atmosphere! There is nothing better than the down time on a cruise. No one can reach you via email or text :)

We really don't care who else is on the cruise, as long as they don't bother us Love the formal nights:):)

Is it really made tableside, ie olive oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon and coddled egg. Or is it a mayo base assembled tableside?

We tipped 10 per day, plus a little something at the end

I see that is the Eurodam'snext stop. I don't see that on any itinearies. Is this a special cruise? Do you know where this is?

We still carry our travel docs in the blue folder. We did keep the Dutch hats from our first cruise:):)

On our first cruise, we were in our 30's, we have not sailed any one else since. Now that "one of us" (me) turned 60' we still sail HAL. We really don't care about anyone but each other. Dining for 2, a balcony or suite and a cabana. We are in heaven. Cruise = relaxation

We Always ask for a table for 2' and RESERVE a table for2' but EVERY time we arrive, we are asked if we would mind sharing!!! Yes we would mind, if not, we would not specify! We finally gave in to fixed dining late seating.

The best suite perk is the cabin:). The next best thing is the priorty boarding. That is wonderful. When we have un~assigned seating, the concierge was able to make reservations for us. Laundry is fine, but since we do 7day cruises, not a huge deal

There are some services that you can reserve in advance, we used All star. it was really cheap, I think about 16 for the 2 of us. Try google, for airport transport Ft Lauderdale

We love our towel animalls! We look forward to each new one!

does anyone know how much the Premium Wine tasting is per person.

Everyone has their own preferences. We cruised the Eurodam 3 years in a row, then the Nieuw

Amsterdam this Dec. We really liked the Eurodam better. We LOVE the lido cabanas and woud never do a cruise without one. I need the shade, and don't want to deal with chair hogs. I will even deal pleasently with the folks that stop by every 10 mins and ask how to get one. We cruise to relax, so plopping my bombasity on a lounger and reading a book a day, is my idea of heaven. As I said, to each .... Their own :)

Love the maniner lunch.

Do you use a PCC to book, and has that helped you get an upgrade or upsell?

So wonderful thought we could never top it :)

DH and I are in our 50's. no kids, no grandkids. HAL is perfect for us. Few kids, few tee shirts at dinner, relaxing, upscale, but not uptight :)

:):):) sorry, I just can't get past that they are Snails!! Love the lamb, the fillet, and the chocolate purses. I have not found bread pudding, but never go to the lido. I will have to seek it out next time

We have rented the cabanas on the Eurodam for the cruise (a week). Can you rent for the whole week on Celeb? If so how much? Has anyone done both and how does it compare?

We were on the Eurodam in Dec and had a lido cabana. We loved it. It was very Convenient next to the pool. The retreats seemed to be out of the way. The Lidos were not at all hot. My goal was to be out of the sun and it was wonderful to have "reserved" seating in the shade. You can use it no matter the weather since they just close the roof if it starts to rain. Sonny and Gilbert , the attendants, were great.
