I was born & raised in Vancouver & still live in the city fairly close to the cruise port. So much to see and do here so I’m glad you had some time. Thanks for taking us along on your cruise! I enjoyed reading and seeing your photos. Such great memories you’ve made with your Mom and so special she could celebrate with you on a cruise. Thanks for reading. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You live in a beautiful part of the country for sure!! Lucky. 49 minutes ago, highscar said: For my coffee I always take Coffee Mate in a zip lock bag. I don’t like powered creamers. For me those would be a step below even milk haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cbr663 Posted September 8, 2023 #52 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Thanks for the wonderful review. I must admit when I saw your pics of Rudi's I thought they could have dressed up the plates a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking Coffee Mate pods as I don't like powdered creamers, either. So hoping the liquid isn't confiscated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do not use me as your final authority as I have no actual authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel confident TSA and airline don't care, nor HAL either, but I've read posts of people saying liquid creamer was taken at port. Seems odd since it's not liquor, but I got the pods as a proactive measure (vs bottle) hoping to increase likelihood it gets to my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicd1969 Posted September 9, 2023 #59 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Thank you for your thorough review. It confirmed to me that the next time I sail on a Pinnacle class ship, getting Club Orange to avoid the MDR experience is almost a must-do.

At least until they get their act together. Or eat in all specialty restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is an issue with the "ban" on single use plastics and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobert Posted September 10, 2023 #68 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I just found your review and found it a wonderful read. I have been to Alaska and I have been on the Kdam, so I enjoyed your reiview even more. Have a Rdam cruise coming up in 60 days and I am starting to get the cruise juices flowing and this was exactly the kind of read I was looking for, thanks. By the way our upcoming cruiise will be to celebrate my DW's 70th birthday and it is a cruise that she was offered to her byt the casino after our last trip on Holland America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheadle_Chick Posted September 11, 2023 #70 Share Posted September 11, 2023 We just returned from an Alaska cruise on the Koningsdam with our family and agree with what you've said. We had a great time overall though. I may or may not have had 2 orders of those escargot! They were so good! On a side note, Air Canada is beyond terrible, we've avoided them for years. We tried Flair airlines on the way home and were pleasantly surprised. Yes they do charge you for any and all baggage, however our flights were still half the price of Westjet or Air Canada, so can't complain about that. No snacks or drinks offered unless you want to pay (Which they're up front about) but with only an hour long flight for us, it wasn't a big deal. Gone are the days of flights being luxury experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days of flights being luxury experiences. I just read your review and really enjoyed it! Glad you had fun and enjoyed the Vista Suite. That extra space is def needed for four people as the standard balcony cabins are quite small on this class of ship. I had been to the Lumberjack Show on a past cruise in 2016 and agree it’s really fun. I too thought it would be cheesy and was pleasantly surprised haha. Air Canada was the only nonstop airline from Boston so that’s why we chose them. I wouldn’t pick them again unless it was a similar situation. Luckily I have lounge access at the airport so can eat there before flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever take them if you've got a connecting flight, especially if it's through the Toronto airport.... Unless you want to miss your connection AND lose your luggage. It's just terrible. Mind you, Toronto is one airport I'll do my best to avoid no matter what airline I'm flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
