Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply! I made my final payment online.

I already tried searching the forum for an answer and didn't find one. So I apologize if this is a stupid question. This is my first time using a PCC. When I initially booked the cruise, the PCC stated I should call him back with the final payment. My question is should I call my PCC and give him my credit card info again or should I make final payment on the HAL website. I don't like giving out my credit card info over the phone but I will reluctantly do so if I have to. If I make final payment on the HAL website, what does it matter to my PCC? Will my PCC lose some credits or brownie points? TIA.

Thank you to everyone who posted on how to get the Shareholder OBC. I requested mine via email and got a confirmation from them that they have successfully applied the OBC to my cruise. Now, where in my HAL account or cruise itinerary do I find the money?

My cruise is April 2024 and final payment is not due yet. I booked my flights already with my PCC. I'm having second thoughts about using FE, especially since I did it without thinking. I checked the flight prices and it cost about $150 less if I book directly with the airlines. Can I cancel FE without penalty and without affecting the cost of my cruise? Also, can I cancel directly using the Holland website or do I need to call my PCC? What do you all think -- cancel or keep FE? TIA!

I too was on the same cruise. I had reservations for at Michelangelo for 5 pm every night. I never had to wait. On the second night, I asked the maître d’ if I could have the same table every night which was granted. Thereafter on the following nights, our group of two just check in and show ourselves to our table; no wait at all. This was just for evening dining. Lunch dining on sea days was at Da Vinci with no reservations. There was always a line but the wait was never more than 5 minutes or so. Most evenings I pass by Da Vinci on my way to Michelangelo. I noticed the line at Michelangelo was much shorter than Da Vinci. For some reason, the line at Da Vinci was always long -- sometimes stretching out to the Piazza. On another note, we missed the port at Fuerte Amador due to rioting in the area. We did stop nearby in the middle of the ocean for refueling but we did not dock at Fuerte Amador. We got back some port fees. As "compensation", they did throw a "party" on Lido where you can get some free alcohol and canapes. In my opinion, they might as well have done nothing. I don't drink alcohol and I don't like canapes. Some free FCC would have been much better!

Yes, charge people for more than 2 entrees in the MDR! I was once seated next to a couple that had ordered 2 of every entrees on the menu. That couple must have noticed our wide-eye glance at them because he exclaimed "I can eat". Yes, you can eat but should you eat that much.

Thank you Geomapper for your quick response! Unfortunately, the stock entry is on page 2 and page 2 does not have my name. I'm just going to submit it with almost everything black out and hope they'll approve my request. Thank you for your help!

My brokerage statement shows a lot of information that I really don't want to share. The Carnival stock entry appears on the second page of my statement. Other than the account number, can I black out all the other stock entries and balances?
