Thank you

How will this work, re: laundry, specialty restaurant discounts etc? Boarding?

Thanks

I always sign up for the 3 hair services- $150 + tip. Hey, I 'm on vacation  !

Kdam. They apologized. 

So very disappointed. Our starters were escargot and calamari. The calamari was good. Of course, my local sports bar makes good calamari. The escargot, were sadly smothered in a green herb, I don't recall the menu description, but it overtook the delicacy of the escargot, and they were overcooked and tough. I had the bouillabaisse and my partner the sole. And here's where everything fell to crud. The waiter, who's competency we questioned from the start, poured the hot broth over the seafood and fish in my dish. And then my dish sat. And sat. While he tried very hard to debone the sole. The result was very overcooked seafood. I got 2 tiny mussels, 2 tiny clams and ONE shrimp. And now, having sat while he struggled, my seafood was cooked to death. My partner said the sole was just "meh." At the start of the meal, he handed me the bread, just handed it to me,  wrapped in a napkin. Very strange. And I will say, the lobster tails we saw coming out of the kitchen (we chose not to have lobster) on that silly hanging rack, (ridiculous) looked just barely legal size. We didn't bother with desert. And again, if one ordered a pre-dinner drink, the poor waiter has to go to the bar there by the Pinnacle, where there were a lot of people drinking, and wait on line for a bartender. I didn't dare order a second. We won't be back. We appreciated the 4* discount, but simply not worth it. They did send choco strawberries by way of apology the next morning. (they did call that night to see how we liked the meal, we were blunt.)

Order a 12 pack from room service

We hated it. Like you - no sleep. Shudder, shimmy, shake. I felt I was going to slid off the bed. Plus, the view was BORING. Mr said it was like watching a front load washer for days on end.

Hire a car & driver to pick you up @ airport, ask for "meet @ greet " at the luggage carousel. It will cost a bit more, but don't wait in the cab queue when she's tired from the flight. Get a cab or Uber to the dock, Don 't jam Mom in shuttle, they're hard to get in & out of. Take her in style !!

I do it every time. Sometimes a crazy up do!! I call it taking a vacation from my hair!

I'm sorry, what skin condition prompted this response?

My happy place. Usually not crowded.

I'vebrought my soft cooler for years. I keep it in the tub & give each steward a 20 to keep it full of ice

Tried an aft balcony last year in Alaska.  Decided they are not for me.  I want to know where I'm going, not where I've been.  Just my $0.02.

True for us too.

It doesn't always happen. It depends on the way the waves come at the ship. In "following seas," where waves hit the ship at the back, they come in under the ship and then the ship slaps down on the water. It isn't rhythmic like pitching or rolling. It was random and jarring and it happened a few days in a row because of our direction and the weather system we were in. In all of my cruises, I never had an experience like that, and I've been aft plenty of times. It's why I booked midships for my second time on the K. 

I'm an outlier. I LOVE the Lido. Something from each station that looks good suits me fine. 

But I prebooked & ended up double charged 

Not on every movie, but on most

We've always gotten a bottle of some kind of wine in our HAL Neptune's, but AZ we are not wine  drinkers we leave it.

The Neptune showers are far superior

Apologies, I read both boards. But same happened to me on Holland. They told me I'd prepaid HAL but not the spa company  & they had to transfer the payment to the spa company but I did in fact pay 2x.

Try "customerservice@ hollandamerica" for a copy of your statement   &  go from there. Did you pre- pay ?

Have you looked at HAL Facts?
