There will be a bag in the closet of your cabin with an order sheet that you send in with your first batch of laundry. It can go out the first evening and will probably be returned the next afternoon or evening.

That would tell me something right there if they can't or won't share where on the wait list I would be. This isn't something I would consider doing but I would want that information if I were considering it.

If you call about the upsell, they will tell you which cabins are available and you pick which one you want. If none appeal you just turn down the offer. Which ship, how long is the cruise and what are the vista suites selling for right now on the website versus what you paid for your veranda cabin? All things to consider when trying to decide if it's worth it.

I disagree with this. The ability to upgrade your cabin is really the big draw for us with CO. Yes, the separate dinning room was nice but not the most important feature of CO. The expand room service menu and tender priority also are a plus. I've used our TA for booking the 3 cruises where I booked CO. I just send her an email with a screen shot of what I want to book and which cabin I want to upgrade to (along with a second choice) and she handles it.

A wait list to me implies first come first served but time will tell. Someone should ask when booking what number they are on the list and see what they are told.

Oh, that's too bad. For our booking, when clicking on the pre-pay option link the next screen has the purchase option grayed out.

One more thing to try - on the website under your booking, try to purchase the crew appreciation. It should show there that you already have it

Life can be so unfair 😪

I have been disappointed many times by beautiful yet tasteless desserts. But I do soldier on in my quest and am eventually rewarded. But the worst for me is having a perfectly wonderful chocolate dessert completely ruined by someone sneaking coffee into it! That is just evil and should not be allowed!

I suggest getting the Rick Steves port guides thru your library. The one for Scandinavia was just about useless for our Norway cruise. Better to look for free and decide if it will be any benefit before you purchase any of his port guides.

Yes, I was thinking there are probably charter cruises who cater to singles.

And you can use OBC if you purchase onboard!

It could be that you are too close to your sailing to book online or thru the app. I'm not sure of when but they do close bookings a few days before the cruise.

Contact housekeeping or the Neptune Lounge concierge and have them look into this. Why wait until the cruise is over?

Anything that can be booked on the cruiseline's website, drinks,shore excursions etc, you can book on the website even if you used a TA to book the cruise. You do need to go through the TA for payments, cabin changes and price changes.

You don't need an app for your computer. Just go to the HAL website and print the boarding pass from there.

Yep, just the HAL website having fun with me! I clicked it again and still got the April 20, 2022 cruise that was listed as "Unavailable". When I refreshed the page the 2025 cruise showed.

For me that linked to a 2022 cruise. It was a nice itinerary though.

Thank you! There are several things that would interest me.

Do you have a link to the sample menu?

Pre-check was still great at LGA last week. Saved us a great deal of time. Of course, my husband always slows things down due to his many bionic parts!

Hilarious!😂

Leaving the house in the morning, coming home and the bed has not been made. What's up with that?!

Well, they're not expressly forbidden... 🤔

I wish you safe travels! I look forward to reading about your adventures!
