Tried the HAL site but it is not easy to search or understand. Please help someone who is just learning about the on board credit options and driving her TA crazy. 1. What is FCD, how do you get it and what are pros and cons. Is it mostly ability to shop and think in comfort of own home while getting same OBC you would get booking onboard (assuming book in 60 days). 2. Are there advantages to booking on board? We have eye on a cruise in the fall and cruise in two weeks. Should we wait to book and if so why?

Going on a 7 day carribean cruise on Nieuw Statendam in 2 weeks. Will $20/30 bag be offered and if so, what days of cruise? Trying to go with just carryon,. and willing to do some in sink, but wondered what to expect.

My husband and I are both very nearsighted. For our upcoming cruise, I was looking to get him a a "prescription mask" too. (I have a -5) If you just want nearsighted correction, I found a couple for around $50 on that major online retail website but that was still more than we wanted to spend for something we do not need that often. I found swim goggles (not a mask) with correction for under $20 but I know those are dangerous for diving below the surface. I then checked ebay and found a source in China that had some for under $20. The lead time was longer than we are used to but they did arrive well within the promised time The correction seems good. The mask is much light weight than mine and the strap a lot thinner. We need to see how the fit is next time we get in the hot tub. Unlike some other offers, they did say you could order different correction for each eye. I would not suggest them for scuba or for someone who plans to use frequently, but for a little snorkeling they should do the trick.

I have read several threads on shareholder OBC and can't find the answer to this question.. The policy and many posters indicate that one may use a brokerage statement as proof of ownership. My DH wants to know if this would include a brokerage statement for a retirement account. It is his account but we didn't know if the fact it was a retirement account made any difference. Also, we are way past the time limit to get this for our next cruise. Anyone find they give credit if you ask late on recent cruises? I won't blame them if they don't but just wondered if it was worth the try. Thanks
