DJ Cruisers

Thanks for all your responses. Kazu the cruise we are taking is the same South Pacific cruise you took a few years ago. We had taken it in 2016 so I went thru my files and lo and behold found the booking and yes it did have the same cancellation policy. I just didn't remember it. This is only the 2nd long cruise I've taken with HAL, usually have done them with Princess (and they are different) so I guess my memory isn't working so good.

We booked a 35 day cruise with a future cruise deposit. Final payment is November 19,2023. On the billing confirmation it shows a cancellation fee of $1750pp starting on October 20. Don't ever remember having cancellation fees start prior to final payment. If it is the deposit that isn't the amount we put down. Called HAL and asked about all this. Got multiple answers but not a definitive one or an answer that made sense. Has anybody else run into cancellation charges before final payment. Wondering how they plan on getting $1750 pp from us when they only collected the future cruise deposit. The HAL person didn't seem to know how they would do it either.

Thank you for all responses. We have plenty of time since we just booked a week ago.

Do you still have 60 days to transfer a booking from HAL to a TA? Thanks for the help.

We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam 14 days in December. Happy hour was 4-5 every day except for embarkation day, 50% off drinks. Don't believe everything they tell you.

My husband submitted for the Military OBC on Thursday afternoon last week and we noticed today it is on the PDF file of the Booking Confirmation page 1 under Onboard Credit. We didn't get an email confirmation. Thanks HAL!

I'd love to be able to "drink like an adult" from a glass again. Unfortunately, for years I have been dealing with a severe TMJ problem and using a straw is just easier so I bring my own with me. Have been since 2019 when I asked for a straw on HAL and got an annoyed look from the server and an earful about the environment and that was after I said I needed it for a medical problem. At least he did bring me one.
