LBCABob Posted February 9 #326 Share Posted February 9 Great news on your clearing the List! Quick question: How is HAL communicating with you? All via email? Phone? You must check your booking online yourself to learn what's happening? Thanks and Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in an Airbnb in Ft Lauderdale until tomorrow and planning to spend a couple more weeks in Florida when we return, so, yes, we're packed.

Horizon chaser 1957 Posted February 14 #333 Share Posted February 14 Wow, am I glad I found this thread! Quite some time ago we booked the standby offer for the 5 day April 30 Noordam out of Vancouver. We were still under the 7 day impression. So if we haven’t heard anything by April 29, we will have the car gassed, and the bags packed. We’re a 2 hour drive from the port, so even morning of will work. 90 minutes, not so much. My fingers are crossed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon chaser 1957 Posted February 15 #337 Share Posted February 15 We booked through our TA, so I’ll need to let her know it could be VERY late notice. She is under the 7 day confirmation impression, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We were able to check in (on line) almost as soon as we received the booking number - about 20 days out from embarkation. However, we were not able to access the final boarding docs until we received the email about ~48 hours prior to departure. Even then the boarding pass had no bar code, so we had to the check in counter to have them re-enter most of what we had done for online check in. And, as indicated previously, our account and HIA package took a few days to stabilize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My husband is on the standby list for a 3/16/24 sailing and I did his online check-in last weekend. There's no boarding pass, and the stateroom number on the luggage tag is blank, but the rest is done. If he clears the list he'll just need a boarding pass and can hand-write the number on the luggage tag if he's going to check a bag.
