Spender Nui Posted March 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Is anyone getting their magazines renewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted March 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Our subscription has expired and have not received anything from Hal on renewing. With the revenue loss Hal has endured I would rather the money go toward keeping the ships and crew afloat! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted March 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I agree with @aliaschief. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the previous two posters said, I would prefer that whatever money was spent on the magazines for Mariners would be better utilized in keeping the Company in business. Frankly, I don't miss receiving Food and Wine or Travel & Leisure. Lots of ads and "fluff" in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay Posted March 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I called the Mariner Society and was told it is suspended at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted March 26, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I recently subscribed to Apple News for my phone and I Pad. For nine dollars per month I have E edition to just about every magazine out there and many newspapers. Yes, I would rather skim through a real mag but I’m getting use to it and enjoying the vast amount of choices. Magazine publishing must be taking a big hit during the pandemic as Doctor’s, Dentist, Barber Shops/Salons, Waiting Rooms are without magazines!

You are probably aware that Cruise Travel has stopped publishing with refunds being given or an option to continue one's subscription with Travel & Leisure. I took the refund.

KAKcruiser Posted March 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I also took the refund for Cruise Travel magazine. It wasn't much, though. They didn't use a fair proration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuolumne couple Posted March 27, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Same here, For the past several months when i try to renew my mag selection on the HAL site, i get a service error. I do miss cooks magazine though. I was lucky enough to get all of those before they took Cooks Mag off the selection list. I understand the why, and i agree that if it helps HAL to keep afloat, i can forgo a magazine as a 4 star mariner perk. I have enough Smithsonian's and Nat'l Geographic's and AARP Magazines to keep me busy , LOL . Looking forward to cruising with all of you once again.

Like you, I was suffocating with my National Geographic subscription. I have years and years of the Yellow horde that I will never be able to thoroughly read. I stopped it. Now, the AARP stuff is accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
