mhlcanada Posted May 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Is HAL still giving out a collectible gift to Mariners, as mentioned in their Loyalty Rewards? We received the Mariner Cocktail voucher but no collectible gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted May 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The tiles? Sometimes you get one and sometimes you don't. 🤷♀️ ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbiSox Posted May 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2023 They give a decorative 'tile' that is 4x4 inches, and usually has a picture of a HAL ship. They aren't good to use as a coaster; they are not absorbent, at all. I have never found a good use for them, although my husband has been saving them in a box for 25 years, for what purpose, I have no idea. I supposed the little blue tote bag is a 'gift'. Club Orange guests get a nicer version of the tote bag. (He collects those also. Why? I don't know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, after a few more cruises, a coffee table is in the works. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debated about taking the club orange bag home with me because they are nice but I have 3 already so I left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got our tiles in November 2022 on the Nieuw Statendam and in March 2023 on the Oosterdam. We have quite a collection and we have thoughts about using them as tiles when we redo the bathroom! It's a very nice gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanmaz Posted May 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2023 DH made a side table with some of ours, but of course, they’re building up again. We did not get them on our November cruise on the Kdam…. Too many people to distribute? If we really want more, we’ve found them in thrift stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it was the mysterious "supply chain" issue at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We find them great as coasters, and use them all the time. The cork backing means no scratches on the table, and they are stable, no wobbles. However, now that I’ve seen this tray, I may have to dig out all the other tiles we have, a be a copy cat. I like your tray! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted May 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Our tiles top our nightstands, and go perfectly with our blue and white country bedroom decor. They are precious little reminders for us - first thing we see in the morning, and the last thing at night. Good times 🎊 (No, they are not a HAL alter! But they could be! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highscar Posted May 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2023 @OlsSalt agree. Not just reminders of wonderful times with late H but a l overly add on to our glass table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
