Glad you made on the ship! Hopefully we head across the pond on Friday night.

 

I have two questions - info on the Lido in the evening- ethnic choices?

 

Port info - I have not  made many plans - is HAL providing much port info - on paper? or is almost everything on the Navigator?

Almost no paper is given out.

What do they do for Greek night? Is that MDR theme or throughout the ship? I don’t recall this on our Med cruises.

Dining room and Lido had a special menu.

Tnx for all the info, can't wait till Sunday!

Thanks for all you news and updates. Many  of the sides in the MDR don’t appeal to my husband. Any idea if one can order a side of mashed potatoes or a baked potato?

Do you know if you can work out in the exercise room without a mask or do you have to wear one?

[CAT73]

Thanks so much for taking the time to report and answer questions. With the current conditions, it's so nice to have inside info. Husband and I are hoping to join you onboard 9/24 in Athens. This will be our first cruise in Europe. Do you know if local currency can be purchased/exchanged at Guest Services (onboard)? Thank you.

I hope so, I've often substituted steamed vegetables for sides when they didn't appeal to me.

 

Smooth Sailing!

Yes it can be bought on the ship.

Can you please tell me if the pools are open? What is the mask requirement at each of them?

 

Thanks!

No idea

We were on the NA in Alaska a few weeks ago and saw some people in the pools. As far as I know, masks are PROHIBITED in the pool, not allowed by any means. But back on once you're out of the pool (and presumably dried off!). 😀

 

Best wishes!

The ship must seem empty Marty!  Any issues with illness on board that you've heard?

Thanks Gail and Marty for the live updates. My wife and I are sailing on the Rotterdam on 12/01/21 in the Caribbean. This is the first report I have seen on HAL cruises.
