New Email HAL Survey

[cle1]

We NEVER got a Survey, and we did 29 days in April, and are booked for 14 in Nov. with well over 200 sea days with HAL........... Go figure

[tomc]

They can't survey everybody who's been on a ship since, let's say, January. You do a random with a certain number of respondents. Some get it and some don't; I'm sure they mean no harm.

However, some people [I]always[/I] get a survey or other contact from HAL and some [I]never[/I] get anything. Possibly they pick at random only one time and use that sample over and over? We have never gotten the first piece of mail, snail or 'e', from HAL and we have many many cruises with them over the last 5 years and have sent our email address many times to the Mariner Society.

Yet we get mail constantly from Celebrity and it has been at least 10 yrs since we cruised with X. I think HAL's Mariner Society leaves a lot to be desired in many ways.

The only thing I've received from HAL is a "thank you for booking," "thank you for having taken a recent cruise" and "happy birthday." Never anything else except some ads.

Us too. All we get are ads. :(

We received our survey and I answered it promptly and used every opportunity to state an opinion. The survey seemed well thought out, and I, too, think HAL is trying to "test the waters". I was positive in my comments, but also stated some concerns, which I would think they would appreciate.

We sailed last January B/B on the Veendam and have a trip planned January 2008.

We didn't get much info from HAL until my TA checked and found we had been listed as "no contact". Now I had requested info several times online, but until my TA contacted them, nothing happened. Now we receive mailings and e mails regularly.

I hope all of you took the "extended survey". I sure hope this gets the attention of HAL!

Maybe the pre-thanks, post-thanks and birthday are new things; it's only happened once, with my most recent cruise (and birthday).

[clogaltocruise]

I, too, have never received any of those from HAL. I will have our TA check with them to see if we are down as "no contact". Thank you for the info.

Enjoy the show, eat popcorn, and have a good time ... because Ruth does know how to make her opinions known ... and in no uncertain terms. That's our Ruth!

The time Ruth and I happened to meet on a cruise, the program looked something like this:

Friends of Bill W: Sky Room 4pm
Friends of Dorothy: Hudson Room 8pm
Friends of RuthC: Piano Bar till closing

Thanks for the tip, Revneal. Copy and paste worked and I completed the survey.

Of course we love you! And so does Christopher! He said, only this afternoon, that he missed you and needed to write you. Next July 5 is a LONG way off.

I think I actually had more fun than everyone else! That day was a blast! I wish we could do it again sometime!!

Hannah is STILL inside me. Little girl just doesn't want to come out! Even though I have had some progress and am technically in "first stage" labor. Still no "active" labor yet. . .

Keaka is so excited I might have to tranquilize him!! lol, j/k

Now, who on board could we speak with about adding a Friends of RuthC to the daily schedule??

I got mine several days ago and submitted it last night. Sometimes this sort of stuff goes into the junk file, so maybe you should check there if you didn't see in in the Inbox. Also the links often don't work from junk mail. Just a thought.
