one thing that surprised me we each ordered a Baked Potato but you only got a half of a potato which I thought was strange and it was on the hard side. The butter and sour cream were in those tiny square containers but with very little amount. It felt like major cut back since we sailed in December.

We usually share a baked potato or ask for half if just one wants it. We also order more than one container of butter and sour cream. Have done this since the re-start.

Our Cabin Steward spoke to us earlier and stated that he will attend to our cabin twice a day not just once. Something about with our Mariner Status we get twice per day.

Have always had twice a day service. Cleaning in morning and tidying-up in the evening. Even as two and three star Mariners.

Crab Cakes, Beef Tenderloin (one of these days, I'll have the Seared Scallops - or so I tell myself), Baked Potato, Chocolate Souffle

Sharing some more food porn. This was dinner:

 chicken noodle soup 

 

Do I see CRACKERS????????????

Enjoy!

I really like the crab cakes - hate mushrooms.

Don't eat much fish, especially at the Pinnacle

None of the vegetables - spinach is very "crunchy" and I don't like beets. DH loves the spinach - has it every cruise

Order both desserts and share - or if you are really hungry, ask for each to have both

More rain now.

She's completely blocked now.

Starting to disappear

She is moving swiftly.

Probably trying to beat the rain!!!!!

Rats on raindrops (even if just a few) and NO zoom!

There's our BHB!

Tender lowering

Think so

Waiting for Westy

Eurodam is "gone"

Think I see Discovery Princess

Koningsdam isn't as much of a blocker as the raindrops!

Eurodam slowly disappearing

Almost a better view of Eurodam than Koningsdam

Just glad I'm not there right now - as much as I love Alaska

Just got here can see K'dam and await Eurodam

New to HAL. Does pre cruise purchases count also, and is the credit given for every $300 in spending?

Welcome to HAL.

Yes, ALL pre-cruise and onboard purchases count. HAL is usually very generous in figuring the $300 per day. If you have HIA or a beverage package, they figure as if you had the max drinks at the max price.

Passengers 1 and 2 each receive credit for the total on the account.

I'm booked on a Caribbean cruise (11 nights) for this winter. For months now, it has been nearly sold out while other cruises are not. HAL offers this one on its own or B2B with the cruise before or B2B with the cruise after. Cabin availability varies when I do dummy bookings for these variations. There are no midship verandas for my cruise, but there are plenty on the B2B combo with the cruise after mine. 

 

So is HAL offering fewer cabins on the 11-night cruise to give the longer (more $$$) cruises more availability?

 

It varies from ship to ship and cruise(s) to cruise(s) which staterooms are assigned to which cruise. If the stateroom you want on a "combined" itinerary is still available on the two cruises that make it up, you can have your TA or PCC ask Ship Inventory to move it to the longer itinerary. Have done it without any problem. Not sure if HAL would be willing to sell a stateroom for just part, so the reverse might not work.
