Thanks, everyone. I understand how to use it but not impressed, As @POA1 mentioned, I can work with it but it appears someone or a group was making "job justifications"...

We have a cruise booked in November and I opened the app today and noticed a new format under my itinerary. It used to allow you to scroll along the days of the cruise to see what you've booked. Now that is not the case. Has anyone else noticed this change? TIA

Pinnacle bar on deck 2 during certain hours. 

Many thanks. I'll look at the hours.

If the Explorations Cafe is located in the Crows Nest then I would assume the only place to get the good coffee is all the way fwd. Nothing mid-ship or aft?

Since there is no Dutch Cafe onboard the Eurodam, where can you get freshly brewed cappuccino/expresso/americano coffee? 

Still waiting for December credits.

 like the new HD cameras!

Hmmm...the current development and facilities are on the western end of the island.

My bad...then the opposite 

We questioned the crew living at HMC about this and from what they said 2025 begins construction. The far northeast of the island will be developed with the pier the western side will be developed for Carnival Ships and the eastern (current HMC beach) will be for HAL. From what we heard the island will be split into two sections, western for Carnival and eastern for HAL. That was all the information the crew had to tell. I guess we will see if this comes to fruition. 

We, too, were on this sailing Dec 15-22, and as said by OP pitching and rolling were present Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday. While this is a discomfort for some we had no issues. The food under the direction of Ali Noorul was exceptional compared to past cruises. We noted seeing him everywhere food was being served. From the Lido to the Pinnacle to the Island BBQ to Canaletto, he was everywhere tasting and testing the temperatures of the foods. Yes, the weather was spotty, and light-passing showers were present throughout the week but never downpours of rain. Was this weather-wise the best cruise we've been on? No, it was not. HAL's service aboard was also exceptional and IMO the best service at sea.

We just got back from our longest cruise yet, 48 days on the very cool Noordam, so really got into the rhythm of the ship.  And realized some cruising “truths .  Thought I’d share my Top Ten.  Perhaps you have some?

- Boat hair, don’t care

- Make up, schmake-up

- If an outfit is good enough to bring along, it’s good enough to be worn again, and again

- The ship’s laundry is a value at any price, and better than home

- Cruise ships are not a place for heels, of any kind

- No one is more special than anyone else but some think they are (uh, no, you aren’t)

- Coughing is not cool

- A Table-for-two means a couple wants to eat dinner together, not with all the neighboring tables

- Being nice to the staff shows class

- HAL staff is the GOAT

 

 

This...

Sky next...

Tip: at the ice and water stations in the Lido be sure to turn your hand toward the back to the sensors, they are infrared and need body heat to activate...I have seen so many people struggle with this.

Poolside ice carving demos.

 

And we remember pretty much everything except skeet shooting. We still take our boarding documents and put them in the blue leatherette folder. It confuses people in the check in line.

My memory is failing...I think I was thinking about Cunard when I mentioned skeet shooting...my bad.

Skeet shooting off the stern...

It was this way back in December 2021.

Celebrate an anniversary with flowers, balloons, and a $15 photo credit to commemorate the special event. This is all the information HAL provides. Can anyone elaborate on their experience? Any photos of this package would be great. TIA

Thanks, everyone for your comments. Guess I am now shopping for new phones!

It is an Android choice/issue.  When developers release a new application or even an update to an existing application, Android has version requirements the application must meet to be in the app store.

 

Often it's due to security issues that get identified and fixed in newer versions that can't be fixed in older versions (the old cost vs. benefit equations), though sometimes it's changes that the old hardware can't support. 

 

And yes, as a developer, this whole subject can be very frustrating to us too!  After all, we also need to upgrade hardware.  BTW, Apple is the same too!

 

Thank you for the comment. I understand, regretfully, that it is time to update my phone. Your comment was excellent in explaining without being snarky about the age of my phone.

Only?  😂

Navigator App is not compatible with Android Note 8 that is only seven years old!

Granted, we do not have the most current cellular phones (Samsung Note8) but, I was irritated when I tried to download the app for upcoming sailing and the app said not available for your version of the phone. I called HAL and the agent said yes, your phone is too old! Does anyone have any insight on this subject? 

Thanks in advance.
