Hi, Are the menus that HAL currently shows online for Canaletto, Tamarind, and the Pinnacle Grill out of date? Are you on board now so you see the daily MDR menus? Thanks!

How do you figure out whether OBC is refundable?

I’m curious …when you call HAL pre-cruise, are you just talking to any PCC that picks up? Or is there a specific prompt that you select to get to people who specialize in upgrades? We got quoted a ridiculous rate to upgrade, but it didn’t occur to us that it might be negotiable! How many days before a cruise do you generally try for the upgrade? For upgrades, do you think that it matters if you are a 1* star mariner vs a 4* mariner. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience.

@Gail & Marty sailing away we will be on NS in October. I have read some conflicting posts - is NS back to twice daily housekeeping? Or is it just once per day?

If one person in a stateroom is a veteran, that person can get the veterans OBC, and if a second person in the stateroom is a shareholder, that second person can get the shareholder OBC. At least that has worked for us. the veteran and shareholder OBC are the same amount. One person can’t get both the veteran and the shareholder. And if you have two shareholders in the stateroom, you can only get the shareholder OBC for one person.
