Yes I think I will get it, too! To me, this is the kind of thing that HAL should give customers when they reach a certain milestone, such as 300 day medallion, or 5 star, something like that.

Forgot to include prices! Pickleball set $39.49 LEWIE $19.95 Book $29.49

I'm so disappointed to hear about the slow service you are getting in CO dining room. We were there in December and it was very good service- obviously a different crew now. I know they took some staff from all the dining rooms including CO for the second leg of our 19 day cruise, which was the 7 days just before Christmas, because the Lido buffet was far busier than they expected. Not sure if that holds for your cruise. But we still had good service.

Yes you can- it is under the "Packages" heading:

On Rotterdam last December, they were just left on the bed.

Newfoundland or Nuku Hiva?

We had Cake Me Away on the Rotterdam this past December.

Raisin and chocolate bread puddings...😁

Fantastic looking bridge! great design.

Hi Kazu- our next sailing is: Noordam May 26 - June 9, 2024: 14-Day Alaska Roundtrip Collectors' Voyage

Very snazzy jacket there in Tuxedo Junction!

Just like Newfoundland!!

There aren't many specialty dining choices on Noordam so I thought adding Morimoto would make it more interesting! We had already booked our specialty reservations so I had to do some juggling to accommodate Morimoto, but fortunately caught it early enough to get timeslots we like for all. Plus a few Pinnacle lunches should round it out nicely. I tried the surcharge Morimoto lobster and XO halibut on Rotterdam this past December and enjoyed both of them, so look forward to trying a full Morimoto menu. Any wine recommendations?? It will definitely be seafood! I will look forward to your own cruise commentary!

Morimoto by Sea pop-up just appeared as a dining option when I checked my booking today, so I made a reservation. It is offered twice on our 14 night Noordam cruise end of May. I assume it will be in Pinnacle because there are no timeslots available for Pinnacle on those nights (days 6 & 12).

Yes I agree about wearing sunscreen everyday! The difference for me is warm and hot temperatures. Right now we are still in winter, so I can wear any brand. But come summer, I'll be test running these new ones!!

Gorgeous scenery again! it always amazes me how so many trees can thrive on such a little spit of land. ps did you really mean Gilligan's Island?! that would be kind of cool..🙂🌴

So far, I have ordered some Paula's Choice from the US and once it arrives, I'll have to wait for a warm enough day to arrive to test it out! I should be able to get LaRoche Posay locally, that's next on my list. Plus now I can add Shiseido to the list if necessary! It's been great to get some recommendations and I hope to be able to report back with some good updates! ps nice looking hat! I do have one I like but more is better! Also have some good sunglasses plus prescription ones.

I can see why you stayed there all day- just beautiful.

Yikes! Hope everyone can stay on their feet. Terra firma will feel pretty good I expect!

Longest we ever waited was 40 minutes, it was on the first night about 1/2 hr after opening. We have had CO 3 times so far, and this wait was unusual. If full, The host will take your name and come get you. There are tables and chairs along the windows just opposite the CO. Also the Half Moon Bar is only a few steps from the CO entrance, and the Ocean Bar is just around the corner.

Thank you for this- I'm not familiar with that brand so I'll add it to the list of ones to try!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them!
