For those interested 20% of passengers are continuing on the next cruise (288) with another 1,000 boarding tomorrow. I see why it was a breeze boarding the ship last Sunday.

 

Sounds good to me!!!  That's about how many we had last week.

The chocolate discrimination must stop!!!

I'll give you ours when we get back on tomorrow.  😎 Last week we got them every night and we don't eat them.

Thanks Linda R. Wow, PC! You must have a ton of chocolates.

We've had a "few" in our day, lol!  On longer cruises, we are usually traveling with friends and we bag up the chocolates and give them to them and they take them home for the grandkids.

@RedneckBob  Did you also get a bulldog to guard your dark chocolates?

Here's what we found. We weren't really sure it was a bulldog, but it certainly didn't look like a T rex. Maybe different stewards made different animals? We also found a string ray the last night.

We always ask the room stewards to be sure to leave us chocolate at our turn down service and they always comply!

Thanks for your service. My brother was in the Navy as a corpsman but sucked into the Marines. He spent a year in Viet Nam, 06/66 to 06/67 near Khe San.

I just booked Rotterdam for the April TA.  I sailed K'dam and loved the ship, so really looking forward to that.  I have over a year to read every thread I can find about her!

 

As for entertainment, count me as one who does not miss the mediocre singing from the performers in the main theatre.  IMO, it's always been the weak point.  The dance troupes on Eurodam and NA this past winter were both excellent.

 

When I sailed K'dam, there was no Rolling Stones venue, so I was in the BB Kings club most every night.  Same on Eurodam and NA.  I detest piano bars and really disliked that it was directly next to the casino, so I couldn't avoid that yowling.  I know Rotterdam has a different layout, so hopefully I won't have to listen to that when I'm upstairs in the casino.

 

Between BB Kings, Rolling Stones, and Lincoln Center Stage, I'm sure I'll find enough musical entertainment for my tastes.  And I'll have my nightly donations to the casino to keep me busy.

 

Now to go look at every photo of the ship that I can find. 😁

You will love Rotterdam.  We spent our time in B.B. Kings for r/b, Lincoln Center Stage (classical) and B.B.Kings Comedy nights. All were excellent. Cantare in the Main Stage were good as well. I liked the music in Rolling Stone.

On the Lido Market lunch menu every day. Both vanilla and chocolate versions - sauce optional. 

 

Didn't notice any cold soups in the Lido Market, but then I wasn't looking for them. Don't recall seeing any on the MDR menu the 3 times we dined there.

Cold soups are gone like many other things. HAL dinner menu use to always have one cold soup.

 

For your info, the dueling piano players are still sick and have not performed since 02/21/2022

You may be right. Ears are a bit too big though. Too late to ask our stewards now.
