Koningsdam - 15-Feb-25 - 35 day Hawaii South Pacific (Hawaii, Tahiti & Marquesas) please add thanks Cathy

You are correct, heating pads are not allowed. I thank you for mentioning the Therma Care. My daughter and I both use a heating pad at home and will instead bring the Therma care pads.

you lose a closet to make room for the door

My TA received the offer. Because I go thru a TA I have never received an offer thru email.

I upgraded from Balcony to a Signature Suite, the Neptune price was still too high.

I just got my second upgrade offer on my 26 day transatlantic October 20th. The first offer I refused and the second came in, and I accepted. Got the exact one that I had my eye on. There are 5 left but the web side shows them as sold out. Very weird. Can't wait to be back at sea.

Are both pools open on the fall TA or just the lido? Cathy

Ruth, Thanks so much. I was hoping you'd reply. You always have such amazing information to pass along. I have a call into my TA to make a change. Cathy

Booked our first interior room. We are sailing on the Zuiderdam in room 1060 under the BB King lounge. Can anyone please tell me how noisy this might be and at what hours? TIA for any info Cathy

Is it warm enough to use the pool during this voyage? If not at the beginning....when? TIA Cathy

I just heard from my TA. Only large interiors have a sofa. My first time in an interior so I was clueless. Changed rooms. All good now.😊

I have the wrong date for our cruise. It is october 2024 RT from Boston on the zuiderdam. Sorry. Cathy

I have a message in to my TA. No folding chairs for me. Lol

Thank you, this is what I was afraid of. I called HAL yesterday and the young man told me they all had sofas. I suspect he may be a newer employee...there was a rooster crowing in the background.🐓

I am booked in an interior room for the first time. Can someone tell me if they have a sofa in them? I am in #7125 Zuiderdam. TIA Cathy

I am already booked on it. I love that I don't have to fly to get to the Caribbean and that it is a nice length of time.

can you show us the email. I didn't receive one

testing is required for our cruise from the web site Enhanced Protocols This specific booking and/or voyage follows our COVID-19 Enhanced Protocols for vaccination and testing requirements. Vaccination All guests 18 years of age and older must be fully vaccinated. A booster dose is required for guests 18 years of age and older whose final dose of an approved/authorized COVID-19 vaccine is older than 5 months. Only one booster dose is needed to be considered boosted. Guests under 18 years of age do not need to be vaccinated, have a booster dose or apply for an exemption. Testing All guests ages 5 and older are required to take a COVID-19 Test. Medically observed PCR test taken within 3 days before embarkation. Medically observed or self-administered antigen home test must be taken within 3 days before embarkation. Please upload all required documentation to the VeriFLY app for a quick and seamless embarkation process. I read this as medically observed OR self administrated. with the picture of the test being proof of negative result. Am I reading this wrong?

I did just that and it says testing required for my cruise over 15 nights . The cruise is only 11 days from now going to Hawaii. The problem is that several people have stated that they spoke to people at HAL office and they said the testing is not required.. Not sure who or what to believe. I saw nothing that said the rules had changed. I just got off the NS a few weeks ago from a 7 day and that trip no testing required.

Is Covid testing still required for trips lasting more than 15 nights?
