DeeniEncinitas Posted December 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Thank you for the link! As despondent as I have become with HAL it is nice to see them caring for the outstanding crew they have! I sail because of the wonderful crew as well as itineraries. This really helps those families especially at the holidays and being away from home for the 8-10 months. Denise😊 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted December 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 22, 2019 What a nice gesture! I remember the days before free wifi at the pier and skype, when crew would line up to use the pay phones at the pier. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ski ww Posted December 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That is really nice of HAL, I'm sure there are not many free perks that the crew get, but that is one that they really appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted December 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That’s a great benefit that would mean so much to so many. Especially at this time of year. Well done HAL 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two table stewards told me this autum that HAL is the best for the crew in case of serious problems in the family. No other cruise company would allow them to fly home immediately for a few weeks (they mentioned dead of one's mother). It gave me a happy feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawei Posted December 22, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Many thanks for posting the link, DFWGUYZ! This is wonderful news for HAL's crew members that also makes DW and I feel happy for everyone working their contracts. It's a welcome plus for the cruiseline to be the first to take this step. Well done, HAL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicd1969 Posted December 22, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hope to see Orlando Ashford make more good and right decisions like this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandp407 Posted December 23, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This is such a beautiful gesture & one that is truly warranted. The crew work so very hard to take care of us & ensure we have a wonderful cruise. Being away from their families for such long periods , especially during the holidays , birthdays , graduations,etc., is extremely difficult. Now they don’t have to spend their hard earned money to stay in touch whenever they can. HATS OFF TO ORLANDO ASHFORD!! Let’s hope this will inspire some of the other cruise lines to follow!!! Happy Holidays & Happy Cruising to all! 97 days till our 2nd cruise on the Nieuw Statendam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
