Creating a second Holland America Account
nw gardener replied to cruzingnut's topic in Holland America Line
@dmacleod, Ferry watcher is correct, we've always had separate mariner numbers. In creating a separate account with separate emails, he was assigned a new number and I called the mariner society to get the new one squashed. It was a easy and quick call to fix that. -

@cruzingnut, I believe you will need separate emails as that is what fouled us up when DH did his own account. DH and I in the past for HAL used our shared email. Did the create account with his email, however it also assigned him a new mariner number 😔...Luckily a quick call to the mariners society fixed that problem. -
Some pics taken in late May from a mini bus tour.About 50 feet off the road, we stopped to watch for 15 minutes Still plenty of snow in May.Emerald lake.

I would recommend checking out Chilkoot charters. Appears the train is sold out on their site too, but the 6.5 mini bus tour to the Yukon is nice. Still plenty of snow on the ride up, they make several stops, and the scenery is great. Probably see bears along the road eating the new grass, have done the trip 2x and saw several bears. You will need passports, and I'd book soon!

Pics from 2019 Eagle on iceberg Seals on ice close in. Loved this excursion. The excursion is with Allen Marine which contracts with cruiselines for the Tracy Arm excursion, if you want to Google their website to see what their boats are like. CO is very nice on the Koningsdam if you have it, but won't play a role on boarding for the excursion.

@rwethereyet1969. You will get back to Juneau around 3:30 after your excursion normally. The excursion boat unloads you back onto the Koningsdam on the same platform that you started your tour with. You have to go through the ships security. and it's a nice time to refresh quickly if needed before going off to explore Juneau. If the weather is clear, I second doing the tram which is easy, no advance tickets needed, and HAL is normally in a berth close by. We always enjoy grabbing a burger or fish and chips at The Hangar on the Wharf next to where all the seaplanes are. But it can be hard to get a coveted outside table when the weather is nice. I get on the Koningsdam when you get off, enjoy your cruise!

Follow-up to my previous post, installed the app again and it is working fine. Frustration this morning with the update was just a good reminder to bring paper copies of boarding pass etc, as a backup to the app for my next cruise!

My (android) phone and tablet downloaded the newest version yesterday. I hope it's still a work in progress as it's very slow and can no longer view any menus. Hard to believe it could be worse than the previous version, but HAL IT somehow accomplished that. I deleted all my data and cache, deleted and reinstalled the app, still horrible.

Yeah! let's get back to the important stuff on what's for dinner, 😋. I'll have a lemon drop to start, shrimp cocktail, duck breast and the rose wine with my main, chocolate lava cake.
