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

Have you looked at HAL Facts?

That's rather different than what you said. And you know it is.

My pet peeve!  Able-bodied people getting on the elevator to go down one flight of stairs.  I actually try to take the stairs as much as possible to burn off all the "terrible" food I am eating on the cruise.

And how exactly do you determine in your infinite wisdom "able bodied?"

Please advise the forum where I might find this.

*Miss G* - Thank you a million times for your truly helpful response.

Well, that's the weird thing. When I try to access my statement, it says it was paid by someone else. Which is weird, because it was my credit card, and I am the only signer on the credit card and now the cruise charges show up on my credit card. I had asked the concierge why that was happening and he said don't worry about it. My partner never even set up his Navigator, he felt he didn't need to. 

rodndonna - it's a posted charge. I guess I am doomed to being on hold for hours. 

So other than challenging my CC, and waiting on hold for hours, any other way to get to the bottom of this ? Checked Navigator the last night, all was well. Now an extra $500 has been added.

I take a vacation from my hair when I cruise. On a 7 day they probably/usually have a 3 wash/blow dry package that's reasonable. They'll try to sell product, just politely say no, but the hair shine/smoother is terrific!

Actually, I meant the newly announced under 17 curfew!!

Carnival could start with a curfew for children.  Royal had one and it works quite well. 

Ask & bam, you have one!! Awesome!!

We bring a soft sided cooler with a large plastic bag onboard and ask steward to fill it every morning and night!   We always give them a 20 when we ask!   Plus more as cruise goes!

Exactly us. I let the stewards know first day & seal the deal with a $20. Keep the cooler on my balcony.

And does anyone know if it's available in San Diego? Thanks

Get the thermal spa package, shower up there.

Let the pearl clutching begin!!!

Excellent!

Someone had a child in their stateroom once time when we had connectings, there was an issue

Keep in mind, if other ships are in port, that pool gets horribly crowded, as in no loungers 

If ice is an issue, do what we do. We take a collapsible ice chest.  We ask the stewards to keep it full & give them a boarding tip.

We got cute little bottles with lids.  I love the new focus on eliminating trash.

When was that? We got a saran covered glass in Feb.

We miss milk cartons.

What is "yea?"

Just a couple of quick notes;

The Neptunes are a bit smaller, but I'll trade off that IMHO wasted "ladies dressing area" for that marvelous glass shower.

The New York Deli Pizza charges for a milkshake. The same milkshake that is gratis down at the Dive-In. $4.50. The usual ice tea/water/lemonade are available. It was annoying. The BBQ pizza wasn't very good, the chicken was incredibly dry & unchewable almost. My Reuben had very odd corned beef, it seemed like it had been sliced from some sort of pressed meat. The kraut was stone cold & the cheese wasn't melted. Overall, zero stars.

The Dive In cooks ( or I should say) warms the hot dogs on one of those ubiquitous roller grills. I worry about food safety held warm for a long time on those, temperature wise. But I didn't get sick 😋.

Don't get me wrong, we LOVED our cruise, just a couple of notes I thought to share.

Hmmm, I gave the Lounge tip in whole to the main concierge, assuming, apparently incorrectly from what I read above, he'd share it with his second, who was equally there each time we went. Perhaps 2 separate tips is in order....

I really don't need a yoga mat or IPod deck.
