Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. No user error. Navigator only shows the upcoming cruise. If you want to book excursions, specialty dining or spa services for your Feb cruise, you can use the website Hollandamerica.com, log in and choose which cruise to manage.
  2. Also, the bigger the ship, the more passengers for the total port charges to be divided between. A ship carrying 3500 or more passengers to spread the port charges between is going to be less $$ per person than a ship carrying 1400 passengers. The NS carries around 2500 passengers. What is the passenger load of the Celebrity ship you're comparing it to?
  3. The length of your cruise dictates the number of HIA included dinners and WHICH restaurants are included. When 1 dinner is included with HIA it is the Pinnacle. With 2 included dinners it is the Pinnacle and either Canneletto or Tamarind, depending on the ship (Tamarind is not on all ships). Your HAL cruise invoice will specify the restaurant included on your cruise.
  4. Wow. Panama port fees have gone up a lot! In Nov 2022 we paid $435pp In port fees for a 14 day San Diego to FLL full transit of the canal.
  5. You have 60 days to transfer to your TA.
  6. Last spring when I booked a 2024 cruise while on board I was told by the future cruise consultant that they could not book CO on board. I'm guessing that's because it has to go through the inventory control department. I booked the lowest guarantee cabin in the category while on board with the intent to add CO later. As it turned out, I chose to keep the guarantee since it was only a 10 day cruise (w CO priced at $25pppd) and a smaller ship with no CO dining room. It was for a vista suite and I decided I'd be happy in any cabin assigned.
  7. Is it possible to call in today/tomorrow and have the HAL rep put it on hold till your PCC gets back?
  8. Most hotels will also allow you to check out up to 1 hour late with no penalty as long as you ask ahead of time.
  9. if you like the Pinnacle you might also consider booking lunch there on a sea day. Lunches can only be booked once on board, but its a wonderful way to spend a sea day. I think its now $19 + 18% pp.
  10. 24 day RT Boston July 2024: https://www.hollandamerica.com/en/us/find-a-cruise/n4a24a/v443 25 day RT Boston July 2025: https://www.hollandamerica.com/en/us/find-a-cruise/n5a25a/v531
  11. The larger sq footage usually applies to handicapped accessible cabins. That being said, deck 4 in general has larger balconies. There are a few angled balconies (basically 4 of them on each deck mid ship) that have larger balconies. Also aft facing cabins have deeper balconies. Except for the HA cabins, the veranda cabin interiors are basically the same size.
  12. I'd love to be a future cruise consultant! Limited hours and everyone leaves happily anticipating their next cruise!
  13. Ritz cocktail from Pinnacle.Grill (have also requested and received it in MDR). Not too boozy, not too fruity, not too sweet. Cognac, triple sec, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, prosecco. Shaken. Not stirred!
  14. Some countries may require visas for some other non US citizens, hence the shotgun approach to include everyone.
  15. Its an extension of the 2024 early booking bonus. Expires 10/11/23 (Iirc).
