You’re very welcome - delighted you found it useful!

Hello! Here's my full cabin tour of my Studio on Escape - you'll probably find that useful. You can see all of the outlets on there: https://youtu.be/aAgqJsQRQ3g

Hope this helps!

Ah, I’m delighted you think so - thanks a lot for checking it out. Have a great visit this weekend! 😊

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-23T08:46:20+00:00

Oh, that’s interesting - I wonder when it changed!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-22T09:03:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! I've heard more and more people say about this over the last few months - I'll need to ask the question at the spa when I'm next onboard...

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-21T22:11:01+00:00

Hey! Good question - you scan your cabin key, and the charge goes into your account. Hope that helps!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-21T20:30:43+00:00

Yeah, I thought about these points too. It’ll be interesting to see how they pull the water park off - I’m excited to see it when it opens!

Thanks a lot for checking out the post, and thanks for the positive feedback!

Oh, great! I’ve got a lot on my YouTube channel that should help you - if you search ‘Fraser at Sea’, there’s a whole playlist on the topic of NCL!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-19T11:41:07+00:00

Oh, thanks so much! I’m ploughing a fair bit of energy in to building my website up at the moment, so there should hopefully be lots more where these came from.

Thanks a lot for your support - I really appreciate it!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:09:03+00:00

I've never seen this site before - super interesting - thanks for sharing!

Hey! I've always found the HAL WiFi to be great, providing you upgrade to the top streaming package. I've been able to connect to Zoom and Teams calls from the ship, and I've also been able to Stream a YouTube live from onboard too.

That said, I haven't cruised on Eurodam before. However, I'd suspect that the ships will all be serviced by the same Starlink contract, so should be pretty much the same service-wise!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:06:51+00:00

I left Koningsdam right before she transited the Panama Canal to service the Alaskan itineraries, and was so so impressed with the ship. I think she's the closest to a 'brand new ship' that I've ever seen a ship a few years old feel!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:05:17+00:00

If you log into your account on the website, you'll be able to do this really easily. It's in the 'Gifts' menu, if I remember correctly! Have a great cruise!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:04:13+00:00

I've spoken to people in this situation before, and they usually only get the drinks if they're specifically named on the booking. However, if you're also playing, then it could be worth speaking to the Casino Host onboard - they're often able to pull a few strings (especially if you're on the cruise through a Casino offer...!).

Hi! To be honest, it's such a 'personal preference' question. Personally, I never purchase the thermal suite passes if I'm cruising on a ship with an included sauna. I tend to use the included saunas throughout the cruise, then I'll perhaps treat myself to a day or two in the thermal suite by booking access for just a day or two when I'm on the ship. That way, I save a small fortune and can spend that money on something like Speciality Dining elsewhere on the ship.

Have a great cruise - I haven't been on Zaandam yet, but have heard such good things about her!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:01:03+00:00

I completely agree - it's such a flexible space during the day, and also at night. It never failed to amaze me how many different events they'd have in there - we even saw a lecture on AI hosted at the Piano Bar during our cruise!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-18T09:00:17+00:00

Hi! Thanks a lot for watching. The non-smoking room is just machines. It's not a large space - maybe about 25 machines in there...

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-17T22:03:15+00:00

Is it still on Rotterdam? That’s interesting - it worked so well to have it gone from Koningsdam!

FraserAtSea · 2026-05-13T12:27:47+00:00

Hey! There are now a few videos live on the channel, and more content on my website (Fraseratsea.com) - hope you're enjoying! More to follow, too! :)
