    Nice to see a proper library on a ship these days. A good spot to just relax, do a suduko, and plan for the day. Jay's sense of humor and Dee's endless energy keep me smiling and looking forward to the next notification.

      Holland really seems to be into libraries! We were on Noordam when they opened that fresh one next to the coffee shop. Love it!! :D

    It's the owls in overalls for me :D Between that and Jay's "Nailed it..." I LOL'd a couple of times.
    But seriously, the next cruise we book will be on HAL. The food and music are calling us!

    Jay, you make me laugh! ("Is this some kinda cult?" when in conga line)
    Excited to cruise along virtually with you on the Nieuw Amsterdam, which we haven't cruise on yet. Looking forward to seeing your port shenanigans!

    I’m so excited to watch this series. I really want to sail on Nieuw Amsterdam. My grandfather came to America through Ellis Island from Holland when he was a little boy on the original Nieuw Amsterdam. Thanks for sharing!

    I've always loved the embarkation time between when you get on board, and when your cabin is ready. There is that first lunch in the buffet. The anticipation of waiting to see how nice your cabin will be. And depending on how much carry-on luggage you have, perhaps a quick ship self-tour.
    Our Apex cruise (yea, it was in your video!) is in 11 weeks. Already counting down the days.

    Just off off the Rotterdam, basically the same ship with upgraded bath & showers (amazing water pressure). Very little difference between the 2 classes of ships.

    • @parodeejay

      Nice! We just finished posting our Rotterdam series as well. The Pinnacle class is always nice!! :D

    I think holland would be our second choice for low key cruises right up there with Princess as far as we have heard maybe we will get to give them a try sometime.

      We'll try not to tell TOO many people how great they are, ha ha... we had used them once before, and we ended up using them THREE times for our current mega-trip. Woohoo!! :D

    Was that the pickup for the scooters when you entered on deck 2? Seemed like a lot of them.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Apparently they were from the previous week, which was a charter cruise. Presumably the company was coming to pick those back up that day.

  • @jacquiekolodiej3008
    @jacquiekolodiej3008 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Jay and Dee what were the scooters when you first got on the ship? Are they private or can you rent then? There sure was a lot of them.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Apparently they were from the previous week, which was a charter cruise. You normally rent them from a third party like ScootAround who delivers them to the port. Presumably they were coming to pick those back up that day.

    I love watching your videos. Dee and Jay do you recommend This Eastern Caribbean on Holland for a solo cruiser ?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      We enjoy the Holland experience for sure! Sometimes they still charge double occupancy for solo travelers, which is unfortunately. It seems that Norwegian might be the best for solo travel, with some Royal ships coming in a close second overall, in terms of having solo cabins and little-to-no solo supplements!! :D
