My booking for June 2024 doesn't require full payment until March of 2024.... L.

Bon Voyage Seasick sailor and Father. Hope you have a wonderful cruise! L.

I had an Alaskan cruise w/Have it All that I tentatively booked on Wednesday before the $99. deposit ended. If Black Friday sale was better, My plan was that I would cancel that and re-book for Black Friday. So, With Black Friday I would get crew appreciation, but my deposit went up $200. No matter, it is refundable, and with crew appreciation, I'll save $200 over all. Black Friday it is!

Here's what I think the OP's beef is about: They have great perks, and don't want to lose them. But they will lose them if they cancel and rebook. They probably don't want to have to pay the Have It All rates to get the perks they had (or some of the perks they had) on this reservation number. But I think most of us on here know that is how HAL handles things, and the OP didn't. Unfortunately, I don't know how other lines handle this. L.

Only by using a TA, or booking with a PCC can you get the Advantage Fare. (There have been many threads on here about advantage fares, and how to book them.) I would never book a non-refundable deposit on a cruise, just like I would never book non-refundable airfare. For me, too many things can go wrong between booking and the actual trip for me not to. L.

When I came across the post in Twitter, I immediately checked Kazu's list, and saw that you were booked for that cruise, @seagarsmoker. I believe that if HAL chooses to take charter bookings, (or even groups), they should advise those who are already booked. I know that personally, I would NEVER go on that cruise, even if it was only a group booking, and would cancel. However, that's just me and my political leanings. If it's a full charter, well, that's a different story, and between you and HAL. I have no idea how that will work for you. L.

Hi @VMax1700, here's information on the "Rebel News Cruise" for March 23 - 30, 2024 on board the Nieuw Amsterdam. Looks like they might be going for a full charter?? https://rebelnewscruise.com/index.html L.

The oddest thing.....DH and I have a 5 day Vancouver-Ketchikan-Prince Rupert BC-VancouverCruse booked for April 30 - May 5, 2024 booked. Because it is only 5 days, it does not qualify for Have It All. I should not have a shore excursion credit. Because of the ongoing issues with HAL's website, I thought I would have a look at my booking on Navigator. I hardly ever look at Navigator until my cruise date is getting closer, but here I was. I looked at shore excursions for Prince Rupert, and noticed a line that said "Promotional credits available", so I clicked on it, and up came this screen....$200. shore excursion credits?? So, I went to Ketchikan to randomly pick a shore excursion...an oyster farm excursion. Again, it shows that I have shore excursion credits! Again, I cannot and do not have Have It All. I have never seen this before, and I'm not sure if it is common, because I hardly ever look at Navigator on my phone. I don't see this on my laptop. So, I added this to cart. And I got this message. So I don't have shore excursion credits?? I have no idea what's going on....Has anyone had this happen? Leanne

lol...Sorry, that should be DF....I have no idea what a DH is, but it's not my Dad!! L.

My DH and I are taking an Alaska cruise together. He cannot travel alone, and I've never been to Alaska, so we will go together. We will share a room with the beds split, but does anyone know if we can have 2 credit cards on file? So that would be 1 credit card for charges for him, and 1 credit card for charges for me. Leanne

Got him....twice! Bon voyage Roy!! L.

Hello to the Canadians on X! L.

I think all pokey pilots should be stationed out of Miami.... L.

Well holy samoly. ...I'm in cell service! Just in time to see Rotterdam depart! L.

Oh yes....Have a great cruise @rafinmd!

ms Rotterdam will be at pier 26 from 5:30 am to 3:00 pm, and she is leaving on a 12 day Southern Caribbean Panama Canal Sunfarer. Also in port is Symphony of the Seas at pier 18 (4:00 am – 4:30 pm), Caribbean Princess at pier 2 (5:00 am – 4:00 pm) and Celebrity Reflection at pier 25 (6:00 am – 3:30 pm) The PTZtv webcam can be found at https://www.portevergladeswebcam.com/.

And off she goes! Rotterdam tomorrow, but I will more than likely be travelling after the visit with my Dad. Good news on this visit though....Dad and I are going to Alaska on the K'Dam in June!! L.

Guess there's no sailaway party....just a few people out on deck. L.

Toots!! L.

spinning around, ready to work her way down the channel. L.

Anyone sailed on a Gaither Homecoming? I understand it's gospel music, but anything else?? L.

Here she comes! L.
