Neptune suite

I have sailed HAL frequently and often in a suite. I am familiar with most of the benefits, but have not sailed since the pandemic. Have any new perks been added? I am currently considering a Princess cruise and wonder if anyone has done both cruise lines in a suite and can comment on the suite perks on that line? I have also posted on the Princess board but have yet to get a reply. I am a four star on HAL but have only been on one transatlantic cruise on Princess about ten years ago.

I am a four star mariner on HAL and am very familiar with their suite benefits. I have only been on one Princess cruise, a transatlantic, and not in a suite but am thinking of booking soon. Is a suite far superior to a mini suite on Princess and are there different perks between them? How would you rate the perks? How would you rate the difference between HAL and Princess suite perks?

It is a premium package so it all looks good, thank you.

Just curious, with the upgraded Wi-Fi are you able to make Wi-Fi calls from the ship? My pcc says you can even FaceTime?….

Live on Cape Cod and was wondering what is happening to those currently cruising New England coast.

Do you happen to know if that is true on the zuiderdam as well?

It was moved here by admin, it was originally on the main page see Ruth C. And kudzu remarks. That was the reason for my comments.😉

Omg, pleeeeeease let’s not start this again! I agree with Kazu, there is a thread for this. I quit doing CC for a while because of all the negativity, snarky remarks, and entitlements expressed by both sides on this issue a few years ago. I am sure it has been asked and answered above. I read CC to plan my cruises, read about changes in HAL policies, and to live vicariously thru others cruise experience.

Thank you!

Haljo1935, Those prices look amazing! Was this all on the HAL site?

Me neither, I will look into this thx

Thx all I am looking!

I really need a cruise! Is there someplace to go to find out about cruises in the next three or four months that are trying to fill up cabins?

I too have been interested in similar itineraries! Thank you all.

I haven’t cruised since before Covid but I will try and call my old PCC and see if he is still there! Thx for the info about the wonky website

Please let us know if you find out the reasons for the changes. Ty

I have looked at the 2024 sailing but it doesn’t look as if I can get the round trip in a catagory I want

HAL used have a cruise that was about 35 days that went to the UK and returned to either Boston or NY. I did this on Princess years ago and want to do it again does anyone remember this or know of a similar cruise itinerary out of NY or BOS with return to same? I cannot remember which name in the title was HAL and which was Princess.

Just curious cause we too have not cruised for the past three years, what if any are the changes that you have observed, both good and bad? Rainy damp and cold on Cape Cod.

We haven’t decided yet but considering Europe, possibly British isles….

Thank you both this is helpful. I did go to the HAL site but since I am talking 2023 I will need to go to HAL site later…… just wondering how intrusive the protocols would be to the overall experience.

Am sorry to ask this but was unable to find answers in a search. We have not cruised since 2018 so I understand that there have been many changes. As I understand it, one no longer needs to test prior to boarding, but was wondering how testing was handled on board. Is it random, or is everyone required to line up at certain times? Does testing happen on every cruise or only on cruises where someone tests positive? Can my husband and I plan on being tested every few days, even if we have received all shots and boosters?
