We are due to cruise around the UK in July and the final port of call will be Le Havre.  I am curious as to why as all the other ports are British.  Is this some odd rule like the US has?

The trolley tour was a waste of our money! Boring.

In Ketchikan, we attended the Great Alaska Lumberjack Show, which was good family fun.  Very noisy as guests were encouraged to shout for their “team”. 

I have just seen a photo on icruise dot com, thank you for the tip. It looks OK to me. 

Thank you. I do like Elemis products.

Does anyone have a photo of cabin L6015 on the Westerdam please?  This is our assigned cabin for our upcoming cruise.

Thank you. 

Does HAL provide toiletries in inside cabins?

A couple of years ago we sailed with Royal Caribbean on the last voyage of the season to the Canary Islands. I really, really do not want to sail with them again. Apart from the fact that the ship was so large and felt like a floating holiday camp (we should not have booked that cruise for that one reason), the menus seemed to be made from the least costly ingredients possible.  When the weather was inclement, there was not sufficient seating in public areas. So we spent those times in our cabin. 

Thank you everyone.

That is handy to know! Thank you.

My sneakers are mesh too, it seems to be the trend lately. I just spray them with a waterproof spray which I bought in Skechers.  It has worked fine up to now.  I usually spray them every couple of months.

Has anyone taken the ferry for something to do? Was it worth the fare or was it disappointing?

We read the reviews on TripAdvisor and then cancelled our excursion!

I had exactly this problem on my iPad, daughter had same problem on her iPad. On her computer using Safari it worked perfectly.  I googled the error message but cannot remember what the reply was, 😳

Thank you. It makes sense. 

Do we need for our Alaska land tour and cruise?  Obviously we need one on each of our suitcases but do we need any more?

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed reading your report. 

Both my husband and I use iPads. We do not have a desktop computer.  I have tried several times to access our DOCS, even receiving an email from HAL stating that they were ready for download.  Our daughter could not access them on her iPad.  Fortunately she has a desktop computer and was successful in her attempt to access them from there.  We have all successfully downloaded PDFs in the past so not a problem with our iPads.  I feel sure that not all of HAL’s customers have desktops and we are really grateful for this added “resource”.  

Has as anyone else experienced the problem?  We are in the U.K. although I would not think that would make any difference.

It was a normal pour, usually. One night was an exceptional wine, I imagine it was also expensive and the pour was about a 3/4 pour.  I bought 2😊

Thank you. Great information.

Mary, how much wine was in the glass for $5?

I am smiling as I am reading this topic. We have a Thai grandson who detests Thai food. 😁

We are in the U.K. and have booked with US TAs prior to 2011 so we can continue to do so.  I was told that it is because of legislation in the U.K. which gives cruises far better protection against cruise company’s changes to itinerary etc than US cruisers can get.  Could it be the same reason for Australian and Canadian citizens? 

Thanks! What a hassle.

We now have my husband’s Mariner number and I can put it into the HAL website for our cruise. However, I am unable to find the correct place for this. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
