Rare Ready2go11 Posted October 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Recently booked club orange on two upcoming cruises for the cabin upgrade (both Pinnacle class ships). A benefit I have not often seen mentioned on CC is below from the HAL website. For those who have done Clue Orange, can you share what experiences have been offered and note which ship you were on? Invitation to a special onboard event chosen by the ship’s captain, such as a: • Private Greenhouse Spa & Salon® consultation • Complimentaryjewelrycleaning thanks!

Hal is not good at updating its literature. That special event has not happened since pre pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted October 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Both o the Spa. Consultation and Jewelry Cleaning are opportunities to sell services and jewelry, I had my rings cleaned while I looked around the display cases. Neither of these would have been an experience chosen by the Captain and neither is an event. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted October 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I've only ever had the opportunity to "jump the queue" and get a piece of jewelry cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted October 15, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Prior to Covid I seem to recall crewnews saying he got a behind the scenes tour or whatever they call it. That is more of an “event” in my eyes. Jewelry cleaning, not so much 😛. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbiSox Posted October 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2022 My 'special event' was canceled, with nothing offered to replace it. I made a fuss about it, and was then offered a complimentary lunch in the Pinnacle, which I thought was special enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lyndarra Posted October 16, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I have only recently noticed mention in this forum of Club Orange so it is new to me. I looked at the benefits and was wondering if it is worth it. In my case I booked a 16 day cruise (Sydney/Singapore) some time ago so that equates to $15pdpp. My thought was if I applied now (cruise is Jan 23) would an upgrade cabin be available? Are some held aside? I suspect my cruise is heavily booked already. Any thoughts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would want to ask HAL about cabin availability. You need to call them anyway if you want to book Club Orange so they can tell you then if any upgrades are available.

Yup, and have your ship pdf ready to look at what’s available. I’ve had a good upgrade in the past, but for my upcoming cruise no cabin available in the right location for us.
