Thank you for such a fine and detailed review. I have a question. What were the showtimes when you were on board?
Awesome! Thank you so much. It's been awhile since I've been on HAL!
Thank you! Very well organized and most helpful video.
Excellent review. Very informative. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Very thorough! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I embark on this ship for the same cruise in 8 days. This video stoked my enthusiasm and anticipation. Thanks!
You will have a great time. I am currently putting together part 2 (Alaska focus) - should be posted by the weekend.
Nicely done video.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it.
I’m leaving from Seattle on this ship June 17th and I’m so excited.
You will have a blast!
You chose the best line and the best ship. We are s he scheduled on European December 9 - 20 weeks in the Caribbean in a Neptune. We always sail HAL and will never jump ship to another line. HOOKED
This is awesome! Going next week and have a Neptune suite on deck 7, can’t wait to see the rest of your videos!!
You should be back by now... How was it?
It was the best vacation ever! Neptune suite and the perks really added to the whole experience!
@@catherinethecarnivorern8333 I just booked Neptune suite for may 2024. Which excursions should I get. Anything I need to keep in mind. Any things I should bring besides the normal stuff?
@@alisayoung awesome!!! We did the sea plane out of Juneau to Taku lodge, not good if afraid of heights or flying but if you’re not it was amazing! We also did an ATV trail in Ketchikan that I don’t recommend, took the whole time there and the ATV’s kept breaking down. Bring layers, long light raincoat that can go over layers. Hat, gloves, scarf. We were lucky and really had no rain but that is not the norm!
thanks for the details. This was very well done. Am considering whether to depart from Seattle or Vancouver!
no experience with the Vancouver version, but if I’m sure it’s great also.
My son and I were on this boat May 20-27th 2023 for a trip to Alaska. Had a blast.
Glad you had a good time and thanks for watching.
Sailed on her in Sept 2022 and loved the ship, entertainment and food. Wish I could say the same with cruises on other ships in HAL fleet. Since our first experience with the Neptune suites, we now pick our sailings based on Neptune suite availability. Pinnacle Suite is on bucket list. Doing Aft Neptune suite on Koingsdam in April 2024. Looking forward to it Neptune Lounge also great. Safe sailings and thanks for sharing
Hi, thank you for sharing. My wife and I are first-time cruisers having booked 7-day cruise on Eurodam this September. Could you please let me know how crowded was the ship? Considering it is a shoulder season I expect it to be not too busy. Also, we are also worried about being seasick. Thank you for your help.
Charging for soda in the mini frig when you purchased a drink package is pretty chintzy
Nice video, I was on Eurodam 2 weeks ago but got COVID and isolated for 5 days. I hardly got to see anything. 😞
Sorry to hear that, but glad you enjoyed the video.
Loved your video about Eurodam. We have just completed 22 days on Niew Statendam(bigger than Eurodam) in Europe and Norway. We loved our trip- but at times the public areas on the ship felt very crowded- could you please tell me if that was the case on a smaller ship?
The only place that sometimes got a bit crowded was the Lido buffet, but never really bad. We never really felt crowded.
We cruise same week. Our Neptune suite was big than your. Maybe because you have corner suite.
Yes, apparently if you want the corner balcony, you have to settle for a smaller suite.
Excellent presentation. Just booked the same cruise for Aug 24 as part of our honeymoon so thank you for the insight. Also, may I ask where your accent is from?
Many thanks. Hope you have a great time. The accent is a Brit who's been living in the US for a few years.
When is part 3 coming? We are taking this cruise in August and have a Neptune Suite.
Just completing part 2 (Alaska focus). Will be working on the Neptune suite review next - probably 2-3 days.
QUESTION: Does the Eurodam have a Music Walk?
Not sure what qualifies as the official "music walk", but Eurodam has BB Kings, Billboard Onboard and the world stage all in close proximity and there's usually something happening at all 3 in the evening. Hope that helps.
Great video with lots of good info! One bit of feedback: sometimes it was hard to hear you talking over the music.
Thanks for the tip and for watching.
Did you purchase internet package ? Does the US phone provider have signal on the ship?
Yes. One piece of advice...PUT YOUR PHONE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND JUST USE WIFI. Whenever you are outside standard carrier coverage, your phone will connect to the ship's own cellphone network and the usage charges are horrendous!
This may seem like a silly question but my first time on a cruise coming up do you have to pay for the TV and movies?
On our cruise, all TV and movies were included at no extra cost.
You need ro turn down the background music or eliminate it all together!
Appreciate the feedback - thanks.
