Did you book with a travel agent? Then call them to do it. If you booked directly then it may be a bit more difficult. Although the Southampton office still exists, the numbers for HAL now transfer to a call centre 'out east' and the level of experience is low. When is your cruise and how popular are the excursions? You may have to cancel and rebook. I would not be expecting HAL to automatically do anything. Ofcourse, you could play safe and purchase HIA, rebook the excursions, then cancel the prepaid ones. I don't know if you can cancel wifi online, so you may have to call the call centre anyway.

Important information for those boarding Nieuw Statendam soon.....specially for Baltic/ Norway cruises. (Wet weather!) Bring your own umbrellas! There are no umbrellas in closets in verandah rooms and today, even though it was raining when we disembarked to go on our tour, there was no sign of any HAL umbrellas carried by other cruisers. So with my powerful sense of presumption, I guess no umbrellas supplied. Again, bring you own!

I would be parked outside the spa complete with placards, giving a warning to all that pass by. Get my $300 value that way.

Here is a new one for me on HAL. just glancing at tomorrows Daily, there is a notice regarding Spanish vat. No other information offered. Such as, how do we know when we are in Spanish waters? Twelve nautical miles is hard to judge with the naked eye. What happens with HIA and other packages? Not complaining about the tax, but the lack of clarity.

It is working fine onboard!

I started with two Lychee Martinis from Tamarind. I have a threatening addiction to them. I had the crab cakes to start Ellen had a Romaine salad without anchovies and without quail egg, so I reckoned no one would want to see a picture of a leaf of lettuce 🫣 for mains I had the seared scallops. They were good. A good sear and nicely cooked. Ellen had the lamb chops, cooked to her requested temperature (scorchio or beyond well done). We shared a portion of mash potatoes and side of baby beets and blue cheese. for desert we shared sorbet and a creme brulee followed by tea, coffee and chocolates. It was an enjoyable meal but in no way would I consider it worth the listed upcharge of $49 + 18% each
