syesmar Posted July 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I received the Summer 2018 Mariner Magazine today by mail. I noticed that between pages 22 and 23 there is a postage paid postcard saying, “Don’t Miss A Thing! Please Update Your Preferences By August 31, 2018. Do you want to continue receiving Mariner? Please complete the form below to let us know how you’d like your copy. . .” with 2 checkboxes, one to continue with a printed copy and the other for digital only, and then contact information. Just wanted to pass that along. Happy Sailing!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Got the magazine yesterday but haven't had a chance to look at it. Will definitely send in the card as DH will not sit in front of a computer to read anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) An other way to save some money. TOO bad! The web site is so bad, it would be nice if H AL could continue provide us with decent informa tion in a format we are accustomed to, many of us like and find . enjoyable . All they seem to focus on is how to offer their 'Valued guests less and less and pinch those pennies to the point of being quite ojectionable about it. IMO IK have no interest in bare bones, all extas cut to the bone I want extras, I don't want to feel some one is tracking how much money I pay HL and how much I cost them. Where is a balance to trying to please the 'valued guests'? I ail in a Neptune suite because I like comfort, treats and extras. I expect HAL as a company to continue providing comfort treats and extras throughout h whole HAL experience. I think they are hdaed in direction away from that notion Edited July 10, 2018 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VennDiagram Posted July 10, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks for the heads-up. I think it is a good idea, to send paper only to the people who want paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted July 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks for pointing that out. My magazine came yesterday and I hadn't opened it yet; might be a while before I do, too. Now I know to look for the form, complete it, and get it back in the out-going mail. I want the paper copy to keep coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks for the heads-up. I think it is a good idea, to send paper only to the people who want paper. Another 'do it for ourselves action. It should not have to be opt out, and opt in. Leave the mailed paper copyunless someone requests it be stopped in fav or of an on line copy.

Given the cost of producing and mailing them, I've no problem with the few seconds it takes to fill out a card and pop it in the mail. I imagine that there are all too many copies that are sent out and never read. As passengers, we end up paying for all those wasted copies in the long run, so this is one cost cutting measure I'm fully in favour of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredrik Posted July 10, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I can’t find the link for the digital version, tried googling it. Does anyone have a clue where I can access it? - Fredrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted July 10, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I also saw the postcard and will send it to them indicating my preference for the hard copy of The Mariner. I do enjoy reading it and looking at the colorful photos, but I wish it had a bit more substance. Princess' Captain's Circle Magazine has an article about one of the ship's employees which I find interesting to read. Cunard's World Club Magazine has articles about Employees of the Month, etc. which I also find interesting. Sometimes, there is an article concerning a guest with many days sailing Cunard vessels. HAL could do the same, if they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted July 10, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Well, they are looking at cutting something. If they don't stop the printed magazine, they will stop something else. OR STOP a number of things. It is getting irksome trying to keep up with all the cut backs.

Rare erewhon Posted July 11, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have never received one. Must look at my settings A few years ago I sent a message requesting the Mariner Magazine be mailed to me. Have never received a magazine. Maybe they do not mail the magazine internationally.:( I did see a Mariner magazine while on board the Maasdam last year.
