  2. It was a nice, comfortable, hotel. Pretty good restaurant across the street. I had an easy time walking to several interesting places, including a three level shopping area with a McDonalds.
  3. Please post a few, everyone has a different perspective. Many times your photos may show something that someone else didn't see, or didn't see in the same way.
  4. I have mentioned a couple of time that I took a 14 day land trip between two cruises a few years ago. Porto was one of the places I stayed for a short 3 days. I wish it had been more. The first two pictures are of the area around my hotel, then the hotel itself. The rest are around Porto, many from the HoHo bus.
  5.

  6. That language has been part of the offer as long as I have owned the stock, about 15 years or so.
  7. guarantee cabins are normally assigned 10 - 14 days before the cruise. You could get an assignment in that time frame, then another one at the pier which would be an upgrade. If you wish, normally you can request a specific cabin by paying a higher price.
  8. I think that this was just poorly worded. The proof of ownership has to be no more that six months old, not something that shows you have owned the stock for more than six months.
  9. Today is International Tiger Day, National Chicken Wing Day, and National Lasagna Day When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

  12. There are various lists online that show what 'day' it is. I suppose anyone could say today we should celebrate 'red headed left handed people' and start publishing it and eventually it would end up on one of the lists. Maybe we should find a day to celebrate as 'Cruisers Day' or 'HAL Cruisers Day'.
  13. Today is Take Your Houseplants for a Walk, Bagpipe Appreciation Day, and Walk on Stilts Day You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.--Albert Camus Meal Suggestion for today - Conchas Drink of the Day - Laphroaig Back Yard Collins Wine of the Day - Skouras 2019 George Skouras Moschofilero (Arcadia) Destination of the Day - St. Petersburg, Russia Eurodam Sitka, Baranof Island, Alaska 08:00 - 17:00 Koningsdam Glacier Bay, Alaska 07:00 - 16:00 Nieuw Amsterdam Skagway, Alaska 07:00 - 21:00 Nieuw Statendam Qaqortoq, Greenland 08:00 - 17:00 Noordam Juneau, Alaska 10:00 - 22:00 Oosterdam Naples, Italy 08:00 - 19:00 Rotterdam Kristiansand, Norway 08:00 - 17:00 Westerdam Hubbard Glacier, Alaska 14:00 - 18:00 Zaandam At Sea Destination Dublin, Ireland, D eta 07/28 Zuiderdam Vancouver, BC Canada 07:00 - 16:00 Volendam Rotterdam Waalhaven Ukraine Relief
  14. you can go to this link (https://www.va.gov/records/get-military-service-records/) and request a copy of your discharge - DD214, and other records. Takes a while but is a valid copy for getting benefits.
  15. Since I was in Atlanta for High School I visited the Varsity many times. In those days they actually had car hops that put their card on your car as you drove in, then came and took your order and brought it to you. The comedian Nipsy Russell was a Varsity Car Hop for a while. It was quite common to stop at the Varsity on Friday Nights after a football game. The North Ave trade school is just across the downtown connector and provides a huge number of customers, particularly on Saturday game days. There is a tunnel under the downtown connector from the Varsity to the school campus.
  16. I agree with this. I posted about the thread dropping to the second page for a couple of reasons. First, was just to get it back on the first page. Second, to remind people to look on the second page if they don't see it. And third, to encourage posts to keep it on the first page. Maybe some of those who just view each day could post to let everyone know who they are.
  17. Today is All or Nothing Day, Aunt and Uncle Day, and World Tofu Day A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.--C.S.

  18. As new posts are added to threads, or new threads are created, the old threads migrate down the page and eventually to the second and later pages. When I added a post, the thread was placed back at the top of the first page and will slowly move down if no one adds anything else.
  19. For the first time in a very long time, the current Fleet Report / Daily dropped off the first page.
  20. Today is Culinarians Day, National Chili Dog Day, and Threading the Needle Day Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.--Lemony Snicket Meal Suggestion for today - Portobello Ropa Vieja Drink of the Day - Game Day Peach Sour Wine of the Day - Chamisel” “Stainless” Chardonnay, California Destination of the Day - Pichilingue (La Paz), Mexico Eurodam Juneau, Alaska 13:00 - 22:00 Koningsdam Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska - Juneau, Alaska 09:00 - 09:30 Nieuw Amsterdam Hubbard Glacier, Alaska 15:00 - 18:00 Nieuw Statendam At Sea Destination Qaqortoq, Greenland eta 07/27 Noordam At Sea Destination Ketchikan, Revillagigedo Island, Alaska eta 07/26 Oosterdam Gozo Island, Malta, Mgarr Harbour 08:00 - 15:00 Rotterdam At Sea Destination Flam, Norway eta 07/26 Westerdam At Sea Destination Juneau, Alaska eta 07/26 Zaandam Bergem, Norway 08:00 - Zuiderdam Ketchikan, Revillagigedo Island, Alaska 10:00 - 18:00 Volendam Rotterdam Waalhaven Ukraine Relief
  21. If you booked the cruise as a guarantee and no one requested the HC cabin you could have been assigned the cabin. You don't mention how far out the cruise is, but guarantees are generally filled between 10 days and 2 weeks before the cruise. If you don't want the cabin, you might be able to call your booking agent (Travel agent if used, HAL if not) and get put back into guarantee status to be assigned another cabin.
  22. Many HAL ports have an option of renting a Van and Driver for 1/2 or a full day. This might be available to you, check on the excursion page for that day. This is the description of the 'Excursion' for my upcoming stop in Halifax NS, Canada: About the Excursion Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle and English-speaking driver/guide at your service. This exclusive tour is designed to allow you the chance to customize your time ashore and discover the most interesting sights in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle. With your private vehicle, and the personalized attention of your English-speaking driver/guide, you will have the flexibility and independence to design your itinerary ashore according to your own interests, and take in the sights at your own pace. See the famous sights, or go beyond to create your own intimate connections and unique cultural encounters. Recommended for the single/solo traveler, couples, family, friends, and special interest groups traveling together. It can also be an excellent choice for guests with mobility limitations. Capacity:5 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity. Notes: Private vans are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle and English-speaking driver/guide. Entrance fees for attractions are not included. In many destinations, the number of vehicles available is extremely limited, so guests are encouraged to secure their private vehicle reservation as early as possible. Private vehicles are arranged 'on request' by waitlisting the desired vehicle. Once we finalize the arrangement with the local tour operator, you will be notified within five business days by the Journeys Ashore staff in order to complete the booking process.
