Which generates another consideration as to whether one wants to be that close to the elevators. It's a trade-off I suppose.. Some will say that there is no problem being close to the elevators, but personally, I always pick a cabin away from them.

'Average' is difficult to pinpoint, since what men wear on 'dressy nights' (as they're called now) runs the full gamut; from a polo shirt and slacks to a full-on tux with tails (and everything you can imagine in between). Current minimum requirement is a collard shirt and long pants. I usually war a dress shirt (no tie), blazer and slacks.

New to Holland America? This is for you...AKA "HAL For Dummies"
KroozNut replied to Host Walt's topic in Holland America Line
Yep.. sure do! 🙂 -
We're staying near there at La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham in Hollywood.
-
Which hotel did you end up booking? We're sailing out of FLL in March, so curious as to where you're staying..

A desktop PC is also a viable option.. 😉 -
Man, that's really 'old school', but it no doubt works!
-
I'm definitely trying it! 😁
-
Uh oh... looks like the dreaded 'Rustic Lasagna' has reared its ugly head again! 😬
-
Right, because everybody's definition of 'good placement' is different. We currently have a starboard side aft inside cabin on deck 6 booked on NS for next March that we think is great placement on that ship.
-
Thanks, but I'm wondering if we can purchase them after we board the ship for cruise port to airport transportation at end of the cruise. We have a lot of OBC, and are looking for various ways to use it after boarding.
-
Can we purchase transfers onboard, and if so, use OBC for this?
-
If we didn't purchase airport transfers at time of booking, and now think we may want them, where/how can we purchase them?
-
Wrong.. We are not leaving anything on the table by employing a third party TA to negotiate OBC. We ALWAYS get maximum OBC by managing our own booking. I'm denying that undeniable fact, thank you very much!
-
Agree.. That I do not understand, and don't care to, thank you.
-
We always book directly with HAL and NEVER leave money on the table. It baffles me why you would suggest otherwise.
-
We were all 'working' at one time or another, which is irrelevant here. 'Screen prints and documenting everything' has worked out for me very well for many years (even when I was working)..

Parking (at Port Everglades) & Embarkation
KroozNut replied to L-Goose's topic in Florida Departures
Need more details on this one, such as what time was your boarding, sailing; and what time did you arrive at the port. -
You could if you wanted to.. 😉🙂
-
As others have said, really, you don't need one. Deal with HAL directly, and manage your own bookings. Trust me, you will get better results and be much happier.
-
The key for me is to be careful not to book more cruises than I can comfortably manage at the same time. Takes the stress out of everything, which is really what we want, right?
-
That's why you have to own and manage your own booking, without anyone else in the middle to confuse things. We request and receive an updated guest confirmation every time we make a change to our booking. This way we always have the most recent version of all the details associated with the booking for our records.
-
Or in our case, ask HAL to send you a new one. We are our own TA, as we prefer not to have a 'middleman' to potentially muck up the works (YMMV) 😉

$4.50 + tip bottle of water
KroozNut replied to woodinville cruisers's topic in Holland America Line
Got it.. I guess I was thrown off by the comment, since the discussion immediately prior to yours was focused around options for taking water off the ship during port visits. -
