    I have watched A LOT of videos featuring this ship (we have an upcoming cruise in Feb 2025), but this is the first time anyone has demonstrated how to actually enter the sports court. It might seem silly to some, but I found it refreshingly helpful. Also love that you pointed out the shuffleboard equipment and showed the pickleball equipment - both examples of things other videos are simply missing. Thank you!

      Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate the kind feedback. I just posted a new one that discusses some of the differences for Holland America. You may already know this if you have sailed a pinnacle class ship before, but it might be helpful: czcams.com/video/6nVJbi3PXLs/video.html

    Thanks for the tip about the Dutch Cafe. Did not know the food there was complimentary.

      Welcome to the channel. Thanks for subscribing. We went to Norway last year in June and they were having a heat wave. We packed mostly all long sleeves, and were unprepared for the warm temperatures. We booked the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas as it had the itinerary and dates we wanted. I have some posts of our ports in Norway (Gerainger, Honingsvaag, Alesund, Flam) and also what we did in Amsterdam pre-cruise if you are interested.

    Hey Shirley. Great video. Did you see any cabin doors decorated on the outside? Was hoping we could decorate ours. 🚢⚓

    Hello Shirley, I have booked a cruise on this ship, for the first time with Holland America. Can you tell me, if it will be possible to obtain a table, only for two people in the main dining room ?

    • @shirleysjourneys9505
      @shirleysjourneys9505  Před měsícem +1

      Ask your travel agent to select your dining time and table for two. If for some reason you don’t get it, see the Matre’d on day one to ask to be changed. If you have open seating instead of a fixed time, just ask for a table for two. If there is not one available, they can give you a pager.
