Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine

[sail7seas]

It just occured to me I no long er receive the free magazine gthag used to be provided to Mariners

 

 

 

is that another cut back? Does anyone still get their magazine?

[sail7seas]

I know I can call Mariners and ask but it just now entered my mi.nd.

[*Miss G*]

I don’t recall ever receiving Food & Wine but I do still get Travel & Leisure.

[sail7seas]

You are supposed to only get one and we choose which we want . I don't get either now.

[rkacruiser]

Previously requested Travel & Leisure over Food & Wine. I know that I have received Travel & Leisure, but am not sure if I still am or not. Frankly, I don't care. The magazine is basically nothing more than a glossy advertisement with little useful travel information. I would prefer that the Mariner Society direct whatever they pay for such an amenity to a more useful on-board amenity.

There you go. That may explain why we get both. ;p

[DeltaBreeze]

I found something on the HAL website that indicated an email was sent asking for your choice. I didn't get one. I miss the Food and Wine.

I hope I rmeember to call Mariners after the r holiday :)

Ohh. Well that explains it. You can have my Travel & Leisure because I would like to switch to Food & Wine. :')

The July issue of Travel and Leisure arrived earlier this week.

I wonder if the publisher provides the magazines for free???

 

I have been 4* since May and have not been asked about magazines (not that I really want them anyway).

Haven't rec'd my T&L for some time, several months anyway. I'm a 4 star Mariner. Has this "perk" be discontinued?

I too wondered why I wasn't getting the magazine any longer. On the website, I read that the subscription is good for 1 year only, which is new. Part of cost cutting? Definitely. So, what happens to those of us that earned 4-star Mariner prior to this new rule? Obviously, some of us aren't receiving the magazine any more, regardless of which one we subscribe to.

[VMax1700]

And they are only available to mariners in N. America!

Why can't they give an online subscription to European/Asian/Australasian etc Mariners? (if there is an online version!)

[Skipper's Mom]

It may be that you must request the magazine year to year. I know that I did that once.

 

Frankly, neither is worth it to me, even if free.

On Page 197 of the new 2019-2020 Cruise Atlas, listing Mariner Benefits, ( http://digital.cenveomobile.com/publication/?i=513356# ) it still lists the 2 magazine subscription options without any time frame/expiration. The only notation is that it’s “one per household”. Oddly, MARINER Magazine was left off the list of rewards (guessing a mistaken omission like last year’s missing Deck Plans, perhaps?).

We receive Food and Wine in print and Travel and Leisure in email.

[POA1]

We get it but it typically stops if you don't cruise for a certain period of time.

I agree, especially with what I bolded above. I like travel magazines, but not this one.

[boards]

We agree with you on that. The magazine is pretty but really doesn't do anything for us.

My question, exactly, Marianne. :) I noticed I have not received an issue for a long time . The years when my DH a nd I did a huge amountg t of travel , I always susbc ribed to T & L and got some useful info reading it. O f course, I don't travel the way I used to now that I am solo

Since we've cruised 3-4 times a year for the past 9 years, I don't believe this is the reason we're no longer receiving a subscription.

Try calling the Mariner society on Tuesday. They're usually pretty good about taking are of things like this

[sail7seas]

I garee, POA, Mariners Society are grea t about correcting slip ups. I think them one of HAL's best (off the ships) depa rtments.
