We have seen PC members getting a personal escort onto the ship early just last year. They made sure to let everyone know how "special" they were!

Question- when former passengers get the letter and it says there will be a $1000 reduction from the printed fare, is that the crossed out original fare or the new fare available to anyone? Waiting to hear back from our booking agent.

It's interesting that when I do a dummy booking online while logged in to my account, it shows my AARP and Educator OBC but when I book with my PCC I always have to ask him to get them added. Why don't they see that?

Last fall we were upgraded from our PS2 on deck 7 to an ES3 on deck 3- no choice- would have rather stayed in our original cabin even though we love aft balconies.

CO breakfast is the normal hours- we almost missed it because they said it followed the MDR hours- NOT on brunch days however!

It depends on how the cabin is paying- do you have separate CC's on file or are all the cabin expenses being paid by you, the primary person? If the cabin is all on one CC the OBC applies to everyone on the CC.

You can no longer make cruise payments using gift cards online- only things like shore excursions, dining, etc (except not gratuities). I've never had a problem calling that number and recently gave them $9000 worth of cards for upcoming cruises. Hate to waste their time reading off all the numbers but since it's no longer an online option that's the only way to go. Worth the 10% cruise savings for sure.

This isn't Princess- you'll get a keycard outside your cabin.

Once you book the cruise, you can join the roll call where many people organize card games, knitting groups, etc for interested cruisers. you might check now to see if one is active and post your concerns.

We've given the manager an envelope for all to share and sometimes individuals would get additional. There are usually 11-12 total people on CO staff.

You can call the HAL gift card redemption number 855-501-4161. Usually no wait time.

The $300 pp deposit with the FCD is at lot better than the $1750 pp deposit required for long cruises!

If I have paid extra to choose my room I would definitely not be happy. The website charges more if you want to select a specific cabin.

I've emailed Amazon and Starbucks gift cards to our PCC.

We just started the roll call for the 4/19/26 cruise. Looking forward to touring BC.
