bowsprit Posted December 23, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2021 has anyone had any luck in contacting someone in HAL that can actually resolve an issue? Having one right now, and wondering who to talk to, as the usual phone call bank is not working. ONE year ago we booked a cabin on the cruise that we LOVE for a couple of reasons. We always look for this cabin, and so usually book way out so that we get it. the sailing is on Jan 12.. We have our friends booked the cabins on either side of it, and expected to have the connecting doors opened between them if possible.. We were a group of friends celebrating a birthday. We had this cruise booked back in Jan 2021, and in the SAME cabins. Then Covid hit and it was cancelled. So we rebooked for this coming Jan Imagine our surprise when this morning we find out that we have been "upgraded" to another deck, and in the LEAST desirable cabin in that "upgrade" category. We will be looking into an angled balcony. And we are nowhere near our friends. They are all still in their original cabins. And NO, we have never asked to be considered for upgrades. We want our cabin back, next to our friends. Yet the answering service says that that "WE can not move the people in that cabin" WHY NOT? YOU MOVED US! We had it for a year, they have had it for days. Who do they know? SO naturally we are trying to contact someone in the organization that can actually do something about this. Anyone out there had any luck with anyone in the HAL organization? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted December 23, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2021 try emailing ship_inventory@hollandamerica.com They were very responsive when I had been allocated two different cabins on two subsequent sailings and there was a possibility to stay in one cabin for both cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadarocks Posted December 24, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) I figured the same thing happened to you, but we didn't take your cabin. Our cruise is not until January 23. Edited December 24, 2021 by canadarocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowsprit Posted December 25, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Happy Christmas Canadarocks. We are on for 21 days, so we may bump into you😉 And to be clear, even if you had received our cabin, our anger is not with the lucky person that has our great location and great balcony.. it is with HAL It is evident from reading this and your thread, that they have arbitrarily moved people around at the last moment. We were finally getting together with friends to celebrate the birthday. Our friends live in Canada and up North, so it is not as if we see them on a regular basis. So congratulations to whomever. And we are not wanting to spread the grief by bumping some other poor souls. We just want our cabin back. You know the one HAL.. the one next to our friends that we all booked over a year ago. Yep..right..fat chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
