Would the $10 Bloody Mary be covered by our drinks package?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

On the HAL site, you can go to "manage my cruise" where you can display your itinerary.  That gives

specific information for what you booked day-by-day.  However, you should immediately talk

to HAL or your TA and get that invoice.  By now, ALL the information should be on it.  Bon Voyage!

We, too, are looking forward to this cruise (as well as the one right after).  Sorry, you can't

enjoy the whole 14 days.  With Norway on the bucket list, longer is definitely better but

until retirement, we couldn't get enough days off either.  Did you join the roll call yet??

A great way to start 2023!  Bon Voyage!

Thanks.  I saw a 2023 Norway cruise that I was hoping would be offered in 2024, with extra hope I could book it with a Black Friday sale. Maybe during “wave season” in the spring

Our thinking as well.  We like the 2023 offerings but already have cruises booked so looking 

for 2024 and watching every day to get the best cabin.🙂

Watching this as we, too, are going.🙂

Bon Voyage to all.

Summer 24 Dec 6th confirmed by cunard in our QA cancellation emails and by letter whist on QM2 last week. Possible release 29th nov.

Thanks for this info.  We'll be vigilant from 29NOV.

For coffee in the morning (or similar) we tip $2.  If we have a full meal delivered,

it will be $5.  Yes, I know it is not required but we are grateful for good service

when we get it, at home or on a ship.  And, after our first breakfast order arrives exactly at 7am (and we tip the crew member) it seems we get the same crew member right on time every day following.

Bon Voyage!  I'm sure you will enjoy your first HAL cruise.

Have a great cruise!

Wishing you all a great HAL cruise!

Bon Voyage to all!

We are on the Noordam at this time and received this notice in our cabin today.

But, if you have a POSITIVE test result (real or false positive) don't you, then, have to quarantine in Vancouver??

Something to keep in mind:  According to my HAL PCC, if you pay with HAL gift cards and you

cancel, you will get any refund back on HAL gift cards.  Safe Travels!

We have done this more than once but we upgrade to the "Club" floor which includes

evening happy hour drinks with hot and cold hors d'oeuvres.  This is all we need at the end of our travel day.  If I remember correctly, in the morning the "Club" has what I'd call a deluxe continental breakfast: coffee/teas juices, eggs, (hard boiled or scrambled), bacon and sausage, bagels, toast (golly, that's enough).

The use of the word "assistance" for luggage is an understatement.  You just leave your check bags (with HAL tags on them) in your room when you check out (or head to breakfast).  You won't see them again until you enter your cabin on the ship.  Do make sure you have all your documents and whatever else you need for boarding in the bag you carry with you.  You WILL feel quite spoiled.  Safe travels!

Curious about replies to DianeLeslie and also if there is a restroom on the bus.  TIA

This is a huge concern, not only for those searching for a way to test, but even more so for someone who might get the test done and have a positive result whether it is real or a false positive.  This could ruin 

your entire vacation.  Though we are booked out of Vancouver, I will now be looking for a Seattle departure as it is not too late for us.

Hi Jacqui.  It's been a very, very long time between cruises.

We are  ready for our first cruise after COVID but can't this year, so:

Eurodam - 04-Jan-23 - 11 day Panama Canal Sunfarer

AZNATIVE2000  

Bon Voyage!  Enjoy that "big ditch". 🙂

Panama Canal in January is next.

Bon Voyage to all!

Bon Voyage !!

Thanks to you all! We have looked forward to this Canada trip for years, even booked it four times (had to cancel three times) but not this year!

Cheers!
