Are you being honest Abe? J/k

I remember Pinnacle changing to Le Cirque on a few cruises ww were on years ago.

No.

Maybe they changed the tip strategy. Yesterday and for only one song three baskets were placed on the stage. Those who wanted to tip walked up and gave to the baskets. Those who didn't want to were able to just sit in place. No pressure at all imo.

We must have been there right when you were ....THANK GOODNESS we chose to go in! The free show actually was free and included several other demonstrations like tree climbing and how they use the Umu. On the last song right after the Fire performer they had baskets on the stage that many of us walked up to and placed WELL DESERVED tips into. I will agree that it's probably not really "free" when you tip but anyone who watched all those demonstrations and that wonderful show and didn't tip wow that's just mean. Jmo Your reports are fun to read as we are here also freezing sometimes with bad wifi! Lol. I just want anyone who goes to Samoa to go to the Samoa Tourism Authority!

Currently on Z just listened to part of a set. It was all Top 40 songs like Moves like Jagger, Footloose, Brandy etc.... I personally liked the BB King band way better but people were liking this music to be fair. It is also not anything like the Rolling Stone Rock Room band on the Pinnacle ships. This is a Top 40 pop band.

Yes we are officially Nobody.

yep down. I have 0 points 0 past cruises lolol

I was already aware of this document because our upcoming cruises are on it. It's nice to see someone help others and post the facts as they stand today. Thank you and great post!

On that thought I am going to unfollow.

Question : So is that 12:01AM MY time or where the proctor is? I have an upcoming cruise that requires a test and being sort of a night owl I might do this. Lol

I heard that's why they implemented the upcharges. It's the new DaveOKC upcharge policy!

Oh Canada. They are tough up there so I passed on a cruise out of Vancouver. Seemed like flying up there, the testing, and the Arrivecan was just too much of a hassle so I "kicked the can" (anyone remember that game) and am going out of a US Port.

As someone who likes to look at all sides when there is a polarizing topic like this I have to admit this is a valid point.

Sorry to chop your post but this paragraph is priceless. I always say tell it like it is and I think you accomplished that!

Not surprised. Other threads had some thinking HAL would not follow the other Carnival Corporation Brands but they have.

I reopened this thread to get the answer to my above question. I got the answer from a second thread I posted on. While I didn't get the answer here I did learn people love to talk about laundry! Carry on my wayward son..........

I only see $20 for North America and $30 for Europe per bag. Is it $20 in the South Pacific as well? Thanks

I'm sure they already have that figured out.

CCL, Princess and Cunard have announced changes so yep it feels like an announcement for HAL is close.

O makes this call and everyone screams this is not right it will backfire on them. Good news about bookings comes out and the same people scream they are all about show me the money. It's perfect one can complain no matter how it turns out! I'm not saying I support it or not because that really doesn't matter the question has never changed. Am I going to cruise given the current situation? That is the only thing I have any control of the rest is just a bunch of opinions being thrown around and sometimes at each other.

The question for me never changes regardless of what any of these lines chooses to do with their businesses. The question doesn't change even with all the opinions thrown around. Am I going to cruise given the situation? That question and answer is the only thing I have any control of. I look at it and I decide with what is best for ME yes or no.

Couple all that with inflation and places they can't even cruise to because of war etc... It is a mess.

Del Rio loves to drop bombs.

It's almost fitting that Del Rio drops this news as he likes to be first. He seems to march to the beat of his own drum.
