Any photos of Rotterdam's 5048? We have it for 21 days in December. It is a sideways cabin right on the "bump-out -- so an especially large and deep balcony.

Wondering what (if any) changes in your itinerary are being made after the terrorists attacks in Paris last night. We know HAL will alter your route and scheduled ports if they deem there is any danger.

Hope you all have a great cruise! I have been following your thread because we are taking this cruise next year. I've been bookmarking many of the sites for tours when they are discussed. I'll certainly want to follow the "Live from..." posts, so I can check on the weather/temperatures you enjoy.

Shout out one of our favorite couples -- Bert and Ernie -- have a great time! Also to Sansterre. Enjoy your voyage.

We did a 14-day Caribbean in March on the Maasdam. It was our first experience with the laundry service (previously preferring to wash our clothes and then utilize the pressing package). I was amazed with the laundry service -- even unmentionables were well done (a previous fear of mine). Turn-around time was quick (usually less than 24 hours). My days in the self-service laundry are over -- from now on, it will be the total laundry package! We're eagerly anticipating crossing the 4-Star threshold (need 26 more days) to get it free. Still, the package cost is well worth it!
