Hi - I'm the one that posted about asking for the larger size robe. Sometimes it may take a bit for your cabin steward to find one, but I've never had the full length of the cruise go by w/out getting one. You can also ask in the spa- that's frequently where the cabin stewards go to get them. Ask the spa to hold one for you when they do laundry 😉 We've received XXL robes as recently as Oct - Dec on NS and Dec/Jan on K'dam; also NA & Eurodam last year and other ships in previous years.

@JazzyV you've posted the best news - no pain, no tingling and real sleep. Sounds like the trifecta of successful surgery!! Prayers 🙏 those continue and relief is permanent.

This should read "coffee" lovers; too late to edit. Closing off the only place to get paid coffee is a problem.

Exactly - and that's a real problem for cover lovers. Not to mention closing off an outside view.

Open decks can get quite cold/wet/windy depending on the weather. The Crow's Nest provides great viewing, seating availability will vary throughout the day as people come and go. Servers will bring drinks so you don't lose your spot; same for Dutch Pea Soup - they bring it right to you. Rainy day early May 2023 on the Eurodam

This This And this!!

This has been my experience - even a small amount was still available and I only paid the difference.

Dec Jan on K'dam, the "art fest" was set up during the day in Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Rock Room.

+1 @kazu I am more than a teeny jelly seeing your PG breakfast pictures - especially wonderful after a poor dinner experience. Best wishes for successful Bingo.

Dec 30, 2023 found us in Kona on the K'dam. Here are a few pictures from that day. Weather started a bit cloudy & iffy, but it turned out to be very nice. We passed this Christmas tree on our walk to the post office. This tree is much larger than this picture shows it to be; I cropped out quite a bit when I cropped out the people & shopping bags. Water sports are available right at the tender. View from the tender Bye bye Kona

I'll celebrate English - language and muffins! But no to Dr Who. The quote really speaks to me. The meal and wine sound good, but the price is not w/in my budget, so I'll pass on it along w/the drink. Was in Kona for New Year's on the K'dam; hopefully I select different pictures to post than when we last enjoyed this port. Big day in history for Britain. The eye drops I got after last week's procedure are already getting low - the bottle gurgles when I squeeze it. I use them 3x day, but shouldn't they last more than a week for $85🤷‍♀️ At that price, who can afford 12 weeks of treatments on top of the $1200 cost of the procedures? Insurance really should cover this - it's not cosmetic 🤔🫣 Dr gave me a coupon for the drops, which brought them down to $85 - holey moley! It was 57° headed to sunny 81° when I checked 4 hours ago; rains still forecast for the weekend. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Happy Birthday @cunnorl

Happy Birthday @marshhawk

Yes @Johnny60 she will just need to use your log in. She cannot; however, share in your drink package. Welcome to HAL - safe travels, enjoy your cruise!

As @M&L-Colorado said, excursion tips are cash at the end. You'll want to notice if driver and guide are collecting separately or splitting them; I've seen there's no standard way.

Watching WOF - the lady solved the puzzle after she landed on the HAL wedge and won a $10k+ cruise to Alaska!!

Wait - what - you've not met yourself? 😳 Or you're hoping to pick up new glasses & parts on a cruise? 🤔That has never worked for me, I tend to come back needing something. 🤷‍♀️

Hugs @Cruzin Terri

We can always try for more, lol 😆

Very impressive!

Oh, please, no - I hope this is not the direction HAL is moving. NOT having a bidding process is one of the things that, for me, differentiates HAL and keeps them as my preferred line. I firmly believe showing only 2 capacity cabins as available during the booking process (to those booking for 2) eliminates the majority of the "bait & switch" dilemma being discussed. And is a reasonable business plan.

Hugs @1ANGELCAT

Some people take the confirmation just in case, but I've not had an issue w/OBC not being on my account when it's on the booking confirmation. Once onboard, you will see it on your statement in the app & on the stateroom TV. Safe travels - enjoy your cruise!

Same - not seen pictures at bars or shops, do see them at gangway. The shops will collect signatures at checkout so fairly easy to validate purchases if necessary.

@rafinmd hope all goes well at your oncology appointment today.
