I have done a little research on this and now see that HAL gives the option to check the prepay gratuities box when checking in. I assume that if one does NOT do this , HAL will simply add the daily gratuity to the final bill while on board as in the past? We would prefer to have it added while on board as if we had to cancel last minute; this would be one less thing to be refunded and we would not want to overlook it. We have the Platinum insurance plan. Thank you.

One of the reasons I take a cruise is "to get fawned over." I enjoy the twice a day make up of the room and fresh towels, especially if I go the gym and want to shower with a fresh towel in the afternoon before dinner. No, I do not change towels at home every day , but THAT is the reason I pay to go on vacation. Otherwise, I could just stay home.

I know from the HAL website that after Sept. 6 cruises less than 16 days will no longer require pre boarding testing if fully vaccinated. As this was the only requirement holding us back from resuming cruising; just to clarify: If my wife and I both received the initial 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine ( last year) and then each one booster; we have met this requirement and do not need to test prior to a cruise after Sept. 6 that is less than 16 days. Is this correct? We did not get a second booster. Just 3 shots each. Thank you.

So OP....how much do you need to gamble ( what is your average bet size) , at what games to receive this kind of an offer?

Ok forgive me if this has been asked numerous times before. We are going on a Caribbean Cruise departing Ft. LAuderdale later this month. My question is : Do we still need to present proof of a negative Covid test 2- 3 days prior to the departure date? YEs or No? Thank you.

Seabourn is a luxury cruise line. HAL is not.
