Short Port Hours...Same boring Eastern Caribbean Itinerary
Destiny0315 replied to ken4556's topic in Holland America Line
For those who can schedule it and don't mind a smaller ship, the 14 day Volendam cruise out of Fort Lauderdale on April 1, 2023, has 85 hours of port time with eight consecutive days of port stops! It features St. Thomas and Puerto Rico on either end of stops at St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Guadeloupe, and St. Marten, and two sea days each before and after with the stop at HMC coming at the end. -
HAL cancelled our cabana 2 days before sailing
Destiny0315 replied to lagirlforjesus's topic in Holland America Line
Well for (at least) the second week in a row this HAL forum had a posting by someone who on the first day of their cruise had an issue with a cabana rental and posted about it on here. Both presented a detailed original post about the problem and went on to respond to comments and suggestions in a few follow-ups. Both talked of things that HAL offered to rectify the problem and both talked of meetings that they were trying to schedule to get more of a response. Then both posters VANISHED after a few hours. Meanwhile the discord continues on here for a day or two and nothing comes of it accept a reminder of the disconnect between HAL and some of its customers both old and new that most of us know exists already. -

Well so far the subject and pattern of posts have been similar. Maybe they will try to get a meeting with the CD about it.😉 -

My question would be based on your profile name is, What would he do? -
Well it got you back into the convo didn't it. We are all interested in hearing if HAL reacted as usual or differently than in the past about a situation like this. I defended the OP's complaint and thought like others that kicking it up a notch might be worthwhile. So we were and still are interested in hearing about any further response they received.

This is not the 1960's and 70's anymore when everybody on the beaches had their transistor radios all tuned to that same one or two local stations that played the top 40 tunes of the day that everybody wanted to hear. With all the audio tech out there today he certainly has better ways to listen to it and not put on a show. This is like the person who drives up next to you at a stop light and loves the reactions they get when their sound system has your windows vibrating.

HAL continuing to downgrade its product
Destiny0315 replied to DaveOKC's topic in Holland America Line
If they are looking to increase activities on sea days how about a friendly game of bumper scooters or on the smaller ships some scooter drag racing on the lower promenade deck?😊 -
HAL continuing to downgrade its product
Destiny0315 replied to DaveOKC's topic in Holland America Line
My biggest question is, as adults now are we still going to be encouraged to color within the lines? -
For your in-laws I would suggest using the current gift card offer from HAL to pay it off. They would get $150 in gift cards back by using that offer and also get the $100 OBC. In my case I have two $1 deposit cruises waiting on final payment, a 7 day in May for around 1,700, and the VOV in July which is for nearly 10 times that amount. So for me they only sent the offer out for the larger amount which puts money in their pocket rather than mine for almost four months early which makes sense if your behind on your bills.

Well after reading these posts, it reminds me of someone trying to keep their car running until they can get it into the garage(drydock)for repairs before the next inspection and planned big trip.

Water shut down Koningsdam Thanksgiving sailing
Destiny0315 replied to meh56's topic in Holland America Line
Yes, an inconvenience but at least you're not talking about a Carnival Triumph "Poop Cruise" situation.😊 -
Don't know if I would call the Veendam IV an ugly duckling sister, but yes by the end of the run with HAL she was in need of a makeover.
