Yes, report it to guest services. They will notify the people who will handle it.

We have that "problem" too on our upcoming cruise. We plan on using ours for whatever specialty dining is still available, laundry and a couples massage.

I am enjoying your blog so much! I look forward to the mornings when I have an email about a new post. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Usually OBC from HAL is nonrefundable. You can use for crew gratuities, wine package, laundry etc. The OBC we receive from our TA is refundable. It's nice that HAL uses your nonrefundable first before the refundable!

Is there any value purchasing CO if you are 5* and in a Neptune suite? I thought the CO benefits were already included if you are staying in a Neptune or Pinnacle suite.

Great, thanks for the information!

That's beautiful! Do you know if the bike path is shared path with hikers?

Does anyone actually watch TV commercials anymore??

We also added CO with our final payment this week. It was noted on the confirmation of final payment that we received from our TA Payment Summary Made By For Date Amount XXXXXXX Holland America Line (XDVT4M) 9/28/22 XXXXXXX Holland America Line (XDVT4M) 9/28/22 XXXXXXX Holland America Line (XDVT4M) 2/7/23 Total Charges Amount Paid Balance Due PAID excludes insurance quotes Includes: "Have It All" Perks Includes: $250 onboard credits per stateroom from Holland America. Includes: $250 onboard credits per stateroom from us for total of $500. Includes: Club Orange

Thanks for the help @kaisatsu and @kstetser! I think the street art cities will work best for navigating with my phone.

This is hardly unique to Oceania.

What a nice review. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

I've only been on a few HAL cruises but used the laundry service each time. I was very pleased with the condition of the clothes when returned and had none returned with any type of damage. However, my travel clothes never include anything that needs special handling. No dry clean, gentle wash etc. We mostly do land travel so easy wash and wear clothes just makes more sense for us.

Can anyone recommend a map/guide to the street art of Stavanger? Is there one available at the tourist information center? Thanks for any help

Yes, there are cruises where penalties start before final payment.

Something I've found happening more often lately is that is if you have auto-fill for your credit card information, many website now reject that and require you to type the numbers in manual. Not sure if this is the case for you but thought I'd share what might be an issue.

I've found that is usually at hotels that offer an included breakfast.

We've finally entered double digits! 99

What a fantastic day! I would love to visit there.

I wouldn't cruise anywhere without a balcony. I need my private outdoor space to escape the masses. Every ship I've been on has more people than the town I live in and sometimes I just need that escape. Baltic's, Alaska, Norway it doesn't matter. I dress appropriately and spend time everyday in my little piece of heaven. That's not to say I won't be out and about up top but I need my private retreat. We'll be in Norway in May. After dinner and dancing, going back to our cabin and hanging out on the balcony while it's still light out will be great!

I've only seen them 2 times, both were in summer in Wisconsin! Although they are visible here sometimes in winter, I'm not usually out and about at night in winter🥶

I would have never given them a second thought if I hadn't read this thread!

I was hoping to bring my hiking poles. Would they be allowed? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4O3HF3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Right now the timing for that would have to wait until the shareholder credit is approved for next year, no matter what type of cruise.

It is a miracle any of us survived our childhood
