Creator's Key Takeaways

We've taken our ster on we just it's not too bad at the moment to be fair.

The Pinnacle Grill is um on deck two, isn't it? Or deck three. >> Two. >> Yes, it's on deck two. Right in the middle of the ship.

It was $55 plus 18% service charge. We thought, 'Oh, is it going to be worth it?' ... it was worth it.

We would thoroughly recommend the film, but it's very violent and very, very swear.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take seasickness medication preemptively if weather is windy.
โœ“Book specialty dining for lunch at Pinnacle Grill for a unique experience.
โœ“Hold on to handrails when walking in rough seas.
โœ“Check the ship's TV selection for films to watch in your cabin.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

In episode 7 of our Holland America Noordam Asia Cruise we spend two very entertaining days in the South China Sea on our way to Da Nang. This is a notorious part of the world for rough seas and they are so right! Seasickness can spoil a cruise and in this video we discuss and show you ways to prevent and avoid it, so you can enjoy your cruise. We also have two new speciality dining experiences - lunch at the Pinnacle Grill and dinner at Morimoto by sea, and show you more of the entertainment available in Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Lounge. We spent 15 nights on Holland America Noordam in February 2025, cruising around Asia. Ports included Singapore - Koh Samui Thailand, Laem Chabang Thailand, Sihanoukville Cambodia, Phu My Vietnam, Da Nang Vietnam, Halong Bay Vietnam and Hong Kong.
