I can't remember exactly which ships (guess I should keep a list) but we've found European outlets behind the head of the bed. The nightlight is usually plugged into this outlet. We either have a multiplug adapter or do without the nightlight.

@kochleffelWe have a bit of a wait but our Nov.2, 2024 sails from Athens and one of the 1st ports is Kotor. After seeing all the photos I'm really excited about visiting!

And besides the vanilla sauce, the addition of a rum caramel sauce tops it off very well!

The military OBC on Princess is an automatic addition so hopefully HAL figured that out too. I did comment to the TA that I wish OBC was specified on our statement as to where it came from.

I think it is. I called our big box TA to verify if the credit was still on our February cruise since we had made a couple of changes after applying. She checked with HAL and found it was also on the Nov. 24 cruise. I made that reservation less than a month ago.

Hi Jacqui, thank you for keeping this listing up. We have the following scheduled: Feb. 25, 2023 Noordam 14 Day Australia & New Zealand May 14, 2023 N. Statendam 14 Day Voyage of the Midnight Sun Sept. 17, 2023 Noordam 14 Day Great Alaskan Explorer Nov. 2, 2024 N. Statendam 28 Day Adriatic Dream & Passage to America Thanks again! Susie

There is another price category which isn't shown when you look at the HAL website. It's an Advantage fare which has a refundable deposit. The price is usually a bit more than the non-refundable fare but less than the HIA. You need to ask for it from your TA or HAL.

I've recently transferred 3 cruises. The rules stated that you need to transfer within 60 days of booking, deposit has been paid and the full amount is not paid.

@57redbirdThanks for another tour option. And the hip is doing well!! 16,000 steps while we were in Florence and Rome in November. Still can't believe how easy it all was-and thankful for that. (Of course, now a knee is giving me problems☹️)

@kazuThanks - i know all about rehab from my other elbow surgery (more serious than this one.) at least i hope that one was more serious. This is part of the reason for my previous "zipper"reference. Glad you're home and can rest in your own bed.

Thank you-appreciate the quick response!

Thanks so much for your entertaining reports. Was the PV tour a ship's tour or private? Sounds like a great expedition when DD and DGD are there with me.

So glad to hear that you are finally on your way home. Is this the same elbow or have you now "done in" your other elbow? Sounds like you need to stock up on zippers😲. Being selfish, I hope you don't give up on Norway. Good luck with your rehab.

Is that what they call an "Advantage Fare"?

That looks like the address I used last week.

Any chance you could post a photo of this? Thanks!

@ScrapnanaOh Kathi, While I'm glad they've figured out what was wrong, I'm sorry for all you have to deal with now. So glad you made it to Ft. Lauderdale. Did you hear Jacqui is in a Puerto Vallarta hospital with a broken elbow? I'm almost afraid to cruise again-but will definitely have insurance. Prayers and positive thoughts are flowing your way! Susie (aka South Pacific trivia). And I still can't make a comment on your blog. I keep getting an error has occurred message.

Yes, very strange. Maybe it was just Alaska Airlines. Guess I will find out tomorrow morning.

My niece-and next door neighbor-just finished the Rotterdam New Year's cruise and is sitting at FLL. She said planes weren't landing there so no planes to leave. She was supposed to arrive in Seattle around 8 pm, now she's scheduled for 3 am. 2 problems with that-1st, she can't check her luggage yet and not many food options before security. The other problem is the 1st ferry in the morning isn't until after 5 am so more waiting. We'll be up early to meet the ferry. She tried to leave from Miami but planes were delayed there too. Her cabin was very near where the refugee rescue occurred, so she did get some good photos.

The adventure continues-thanks for the continuing reports. I’m just sorry that Kathi isn’t able to join you for trivia 😢. Have an amazing voyage.

WOW! Amazing amount of time you’ve put into your blog and You Tube videos-thank you so much. Looking forward to reading about all your adventures.

That’s a photo worth taking. Congrats on the big win and the proof it wasn’t a dream.

Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Hope a solution is found quickly.

Yesterday was a Long day-finally home and in bed by midnight (3 am Atlanta time) . Of course, for once we weren’t rushing for a ferry and it was 30 minutes late. DDIL is also home. We stopped at the hospital on our way to the airport and the nurse came in to say DDIL would be discharged in an hour or so. Just time for us to get to the airport and DS to return to the hospital. Phew! And the biggest shocker was when I got on the scale this morning. Either it wasn’t correct before we left or I lost 7 pounds-24 days on the ship and a week at DS’s house. Happy dance! Happy cruising everyone and have a great day.

@kazuOn the cruise we just got back from, one of my trivia teammates was going to final bingo. I "took any hex off her" and sprinkled good luck dust on her 😇. She won over $325 so no hex and good luck to you!!!
