You can just ask your room steward for a stock up in your room.

I have never been able to see my OBC in the navigator app. I requested and updated statement from HAL and it shows the correct amount of OBC (Stock/AARP) on it.
-
I just iron my clothes with my straightener after I've finished my hair! 😂

Yep, that is me, like my morning cuppa before venturing out. Room service is unpredictable. Luckily I have a wonderful husband that will go in search of water for me. Even last time when we were in a Neptune he would go to concierge and get me water, although it was never hot (not his fault).

Royal Caribbean is another line that has had kettles in the rooms. We have sailed on Rhapsody a couple of times and had a kettle. So not only British ships.
-
When we booked our cruise, the deposit was $5k (but refundable) so massive difference.
-
Ours was in the cabin when we boarded or maybe on the night turndown service. It is one coupon per person if you are one star mariner or above.

crew appreciation increasing Feb 01,2024
aussiedisneyfan replied to helby's topic in Holland America Line
We had purchased the prepaid gratuities on our Norway (May) before the last rate rise. It doesn't cover the rise as they simply just add it as OBC and then take out the daily grats each day. Below is an example but not great as we had prepaid for balcony at $15.50 which then went up to $16 but did an upsell to Neptune.
-
I booked directly online with HAL and haven't received an updated invoice. I did ring today to ask about AARP OBC and they confirmed that they Sharehold OBC was listed.
-
Mine was super quick too.
-
THere are two steps to it, getting it validated and then applying for the OBC. In the app go to Carnival, then HAL, you should now have the redeem perk button, click on that and fill in your sailing info. Hope this makes sense.

They are amazing.

There were duelling pianos in May on Rotterdam.
-
I believe they are but on the Rotterdam in May no bars had them. In fact, we had trouble getting sparkling water in any bar and was lucky to sometimes get soda water. Trouble with the cans is they can't be resealed and are next to useless for taking off on shoreex.
-
On the Rotterdam last month it was self graded and I think most times the prize was a free drink.
-
There was a post from somebody onboard saying it had been rescinded. It was on another chat forum so we cannot post a link.
-
No. When they rang to ask about CO they were told on the phone they would get the OBC.
-
Our friends purchased CO and there were no upgrades available. They were given $100 OBC total instead.
-
Thanks. That is what I thought.
-
Can i just check, the unlimited washing option, it comes back ironed as well doesn't it? Did on cruises many years ago. The current package on website says "Includes wash, dry and fold. Priced per stateroom." My girflriend is convinced we have to then add the pressing package. I say no.

There is a FB group Holland America's cruising ducks.
-
No, the SBP cost includes the gratuities. If however, you choose a drink over the $11 you will pay the difference plus 18% on that.

This is our shorex brochure for April this year.shorex.pdf

Darn it, buying the laundry package was on my list of things to do this weekend and now it has gone up. Knew I should have done it earlier. 😂

Current Mask Protocols
aussiedisneyfan replied to Sparky74's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I was surprised about the lack of visibility of sanitiser and also reminders for people to use it on Luminosa. It was mostly in out of sight places that didn't give a visual reminder to use it. Certainly no washy washy as you see on other cruiselines.
