epistax

I board tomorrow. I promise prompt publication pending postponed pooping protocols.

Indeed, I learned about the dirty banana on my last (and first) cruise earlier this year on Princess. I was surprised how much I liked it.

Turn it down. Maybe they'll send it to me next. 😆

Oh no... We're boarding the K in 7 days and I we were so looking forward to the Grand Dutch.

I am interested in the Grand Dutch. I see that they charge for drip coffee and tea. Is this drip coffee / tea in any way better than other parts of the ship where it'd free? I just want to know if I should bring a cup of coffee over from the Lido for my french fries 😆

First time on HAL.. what coffee/tea IS covered, and where? No beverage plan. Thank you!

Question about booking a restaurant reservation. I want to book Pinnacle for the first day. Right now the website wants to charge $184, however two of our guests (different booking #) have vouchers and two guests will have plenty of OBC to cover their portion. Is there any way to delay payment? I just want to place the reservation right now but pay for the restaurant later (you know, like every other restaurant in the world 😆). Or do I need to pay now, then go to guest services once on board with vouchers and OBC in hand and get it all fixed? Thanks

Bonus: The rest of our traveling party is boarding at 11:30 AM. 😕

That's good to hear! I just got my boarding time (no room).. 2:30 PM. Looks like we have an extra meal to find 😕

14 days to departure and my room is still GUAR. I'm not worried about a bad room, just worried about no room. Come on ...room!

Well I don't know what I don't know. Yes I can see my reservation online just fine, not worried about not getting on the boat, but since HAL talks to the TAs rather than the passengers I don't know what offers/deals may be coming up.

I suppose this is the most obvious problem you could have if you booked through a TA. I did it to save some money, but now I have no access to a TA. I've asked cruise line what to do and they (HAL) said they don't know. My TA is gone. The whole office is unresponsive for about a month. I'm 28 days from my cruise. The upside is that I don't really need much from them. I can survive okay without any contact. At this point it's more the principle of the matter. What do you do when your TA has jumped ship?

I have booked 2 cruises in total, both this year. Princess was something around $200 deposit and the rest due within two weeks, months before the cruise. The other was the Baja California cruise on Hal and they wanted 100% up front.

Unfortunately cruises rarely target people who like beer. 😕 That said, Lagunitas seems to have made inroads with the cruise industry. I think little sumpin' sumpin is usually available.

They changed promotions. Current promotion doesn't show for my November cruise either. Current promotion ends on the 12th. The 13th should have a new one that may apply.
