Rudi's.

I also booked with Value Trips. I sent an email to the hotel to verify that they had my booking and asked them to add my loyalty number to the reservation. But not sure if we will be eligible for the complimentary breakfast.

If you are bringing breakable bottles, bring a few disposable baby diapers. Put these inside the bubble wrap/plastic bag. It will absorb any accident that might happen.

I think only a V or Spa veranda are higher.

If the excursion is less than your credits, you'll have a credit balance. If it's more than your credit, you'll pay the difference.

In the dining room I think you can order appetizer size portions which might suit you better. At least it will feel like less waste.

I agree with you both 100%. My husband was a smoker. He passed a couple of years ago and I'm thinking that when I next cruise alone I might go sit in the smoking area on the aft Lido deck just to meet the friendly people. We've met and kept in touch with many wonderful people.

I was told to email ship services and they would help make arrangements. onboardeventservices@hollandamerica.com We are hoping to bring my DH ashes for burial at sea in November.

Did you use instructions for this pattern? I'd love to know the name of it so I can look for it.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Thank you. Right, #9 .... Who knows anymore what flights to pick. Flightease is the flight department for Holland America.

We are booking through Flightease so can change up until final payment in August. We can hope.

Montreal fights are Air Canada and Newark flights are United. Departure times are very similar for both. The United flights are about $500 cheaper but a relaxed flight is priceless. Thanks.

Looking to book flights in November, YOW>FLL. I have some good options including either a 3 hour connection at YUL-Montreal or EWR -Newark. These are available going both ways. My first reaction is to connect through Newark so that I can do Customs/Immigration in Ottawa. But would there be any benefit connecting through Montreal? How much time would I need these days to clear C/I at Montreal? The flights through Newark have a 3 hour connection. Would 3 hours in Montreal be enough? Thank you.

Thanks so much for the response. I better go book it before the price goes up.

I'm looking at flights YOW>EWR>FLL on Nov 11 and return Nov 19, 2022. United has flights with about 3 hour connections. If I remember correctly I will have to take the shuttle bus to go from Terminal C to A and reverse. I tried doing a search but couldn't find any answers that were helpful. And now with all the problems with flight scheduling I wonder about the current situation. So do you think these flights would work? Flying in day before cruise and going home day of disembarkation. Thanks for any feedback you can give.

I would either call or email the hotel and ask them to confirm if they have a reservation for you. And to send you a copy of the reservation.

Assignments can made anytime from now until check in at the pier. I'd suggest being pro-active adding your daughter.

I still have 2 of those painted hats too. I think they're quite special.

Thanks for those details. I've left a message with our PCC the beginning of this week and am waiting for a callback. Hopefully we can do that too. 4* and 3&4 passenger sails free.

I thought that if one person has the SBP then all adults in the same stateroom also have to buy it. Since SBP is part of HIA, I expected to see the same rule apply. I agree that if the 3rd or 4th person are also paying for HAI separately, they really should be able to get the wifi promo too.

So you didn't have to pay extra for the third person HIA? Thank you.

I'm considering adding 2 more people to our cruise booking. Right now it includes HIA but it states that it's only for first and second guests. Has anyone bought the HIA promo for extra persons in your cabin? I'm assuming that since the first 2 people have the promo, at the least the extra adults would also have to buy the SBP, so HIA would be a better deal.

Go into social media and voice your issues. They usually respond faster.

You can ask for the larger, more comfortable size.
