to make it short,book through HAL. Twice the airline canceled fights, we were going the day before boarding. We got to port in time (barely). We were reimbursed for our hotel stay that we missed by HAL . They must have pulled all kind of strings to get us on the first flight in the morning. The airline paid for the hotel stay. TWICE.

I would be too uncomfortable if I did not book air and hotel through HAL

you recheck your excursions to make sure you booked the right one for the ump-teen time.

Hi Guys, Sorry it took so long for me to post.

We did not want to wait any longer for the cruise we really wanted . It seemed to never come available.

We booked The March 12,2018 - 28 days World Cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona. It is also sold out. now.

We booked an inside. Did get a upsell but it was too expensive for us.

Thanks for your concern.

We have booked 3 previous trips to Africa and all got cancelled. Two land and one HAL. The HAL port in Egypt was cancelled because of conflict , another port in Turkey was added. We did dock in Israel. It was a Holy Land Cruise, I forgot the year

I am on pin and needles, and extremely excited. I so want this cruise.

I also miss the log. I keep each one in my picture album. You can't imagine how many times it ended an argument. It is " I told you it was not that far!"

As far as the medals. I believe I earned mine. It is fun, like wearing Mickey ears at Disneyland , fun, fun, fun.

This will be my first time on the Amesterdam, On the wetdock are they just cleaning up , or doing changes?

I don't agree with you all. Love India Ire and Oprah. Nothing else to say.

If you booked through HAL with insurance they will get you to where you need to go. Maybe another flight or port.. Happened to me with a flight being cancelled. Airline paid for hotel HAL got me on an early morning flight and I did not miss the sailing. I did fly a day before the sailing, that gave me some wiggle space.

We were on the Eurodam in Oct. 2017 Venice to Barcelona . The food was absolutely terrific. This was not my first rodeo . The food keeps getting better, and the drinks. I don't know if it was the drinks are the people, but I had the most fun at all of the happy hours. Friendly staff while I was making my depositing at the casino. I may be naïve but I can't tell you anything about the décor, it was comfortable and clean.

We did a girls night out cruise in Sept 2017 on another cruise line, really enjoyed it . We agreed 100% that we should have cruised HAL. There was a difference.

Don't book that cruise, that's all. HAL pays a whole lot of rotten acts ( IMO), but I don't trash the line just because of that. I think that we have a few elitist at there.

Thanks everyone. We are outing that money on the side, so that we can be ready.

Hope to see you con roll call.

We are on the waitlist for the potion of the world Cruise 2018 from Hong Cong to Cape Town. Does this happen often this early ? :eek: We really want this cruise. I know that this is insane but I hope someone's son or daughter is getting married and they have to cancel .

Stakeout;

How many people do you manage in your company?

How many days before I don't have to wash dishes.

I love Saturday morning TV. I watch PBS and Create while cleaning. TV in each room. Love Rick Stevens

I may spell it wrong, baklava in Athens. Everything was sticky, my hands, purse and card. They just passed me through. They did not want that sticky mess on the belt. Some nice person pressed the elevator button for me. The cabin person opened the door with his card.

My DH is a football fanatic (American). He likes to watch alone, not in a lounge. He finds me after a game.

Eurodam - 12 Day Mediterranean Romance Oct.9,2016 - Oct. 21, 2016

This cruise because we had not visited Venice, Monte Carlo, and Barcelona.

Having problems, now on PC. This is the second post I have been able to open. I opened went into the kitchen,and 1st thread opened. Came to this one ironed a skirt and this came up. I am not going to do this all night,

I had the privilege of meeting her. She was coming out of one of the shops. She told me all about the different uniforms the staff on the ship wears. She said that she would have a different one on tomorrow. She had one

of all of them. I don't remember what ship nor year. he was in a wheelchair

at the time.

She will differently be missed.

I wonder if she will be buried at sea.

Thank you so much. Our flight arrives in Venice about 2:10 something like that. I figured by the time we get to the hotel and settled we would be able to

do St Marco . Now that I know about the Val... we can do that instead of a gondola. Once we embark the next day , when we get off the ship we can do the same thing. You have made my day. Now my DH will think that I am so smart. I read CC, he doesn't. Ha! Ha!

Our very first HAL cruise we went to our assigned inside cabin and the cabin attendant said Oh I am so sorry wrong room and took us to a window cabin. He said new room assignment. Anything can happened. I do have a friend that only wants an inside. She would have asked to return to an inside.

Our first few cruises were with groups. We decided to do a cruise without a group, just us. I saw HAL in a magazine, it was sailing to places we would like to visit. I felt like I was living in an Agathe Christie novel. We have met people on HAL that we remain friends with.

In Sept 2015 Ladies Birthday Cruise (5 B/D +9 friends) was a Carnival Cruise.

We had a great time but everyone that has sailed HAL said why didn.t we book HAL. We had to explain to the others Why. Too long to go through on this thread. I believe that you all understand.

hank you Richard

Your blog s great. I just changed my mind about Toulan. I am now leaning toward Chassie.

Thanks everyone. I was piggy backing on this post, as I also want to know what to do in Monte Carlo. I don't want to rent a car, or bus or train to anywhere else. This has been a help in planning since I did have a few things in mine. YES I will go to the casino. Can't have my first trip to Monte Carlo and not see the casino. I think I will take a cab (age 70's and 80's).

If you are flying TSA will take your bottle of cherries if it is in your carry-on.
