dogladyjw Posted January 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2010 This will be my first cruise as a mariner, do they still give out tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted January 23, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yes. We were on the Noordam last month and they handed them out as you left the Mariners lunch in the main dining room. Same one we got a year ago on the Oosterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted January 23, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2010 ... and if you RSVP that you won't be attending the Mariner's lunch they should leave them in your cabin. And if they don't, you can go down to the front desk and get them. Once I got one that was badly flawed, and they swapped with me at the front desk. You can see the current year's offerings at http://www.hollandamerica.com/marinerSociety/Main.action by clicking the word Tiles half way down on the left side under Benefits Overview.

ANSalberg Posted January 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2010 just a hint here; We have probably 30 tiles -duplicates as we are a couple -from about 10 years ago. Several years ago I decided I wanted to USE those tiles in a constructive way so I put double-edge stick-'em tape on the 4 corners of the back and put them over the smaller kitchen window above the sink; each tile used is different. This window is on the north side of the house to begin with -so not a lot of sunshine, so I wasn't interested in putting up a curtain or blocking ANY of the light. It used 12 tiles simply placed together in a row; I can happily look at "memories" every time I do my dishes!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link. Funny -- sailed on 3 different ships in 2009 -- got the same tiles on all 3 ships -- #1. Again in 2008 -- 3 different ships -- same tile -- #4.

kent4489 Posted January 24, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2010 And I never got a tile on our second HAL cruise. Hopefully will get one on our third, next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes do you feel they do it just to jiggle your chain? :D Must be a concerted plan. :D We have gotten sometimes the same tile and sometimes different. Whatever. I'm happy to keep collecting them. Love 'em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 24, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Just for the heck of it I would love to get some of the different ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
