Wouldn’t be for me.

Hi everyone,

I applied for my shareholder OBC on a future cruise , received an email back telling me it will be added to my account at embarkation.

Is that normal or should it be added before that ?
 

I hope your husband has a positive result from the procedure and good health going forward.

As the other posters have mentioned, try your credit card company to see about any health cancellation coverage and of course try Celebrity , maybe the Captains club extension, it is worth a try , possibly for a future booking transfer or such.

All The Best 🍀 going forward.

I agree with those who say the cruise director is easy to spot, always making announcements, introducing shows, hosting the morning talks...  Sometimes I wish they were less visible.  We had A CD on one cruise that was quite solemn.  Maybe she was having a bad week, never seemed excited or happy about anything.

Things usually look easier when someone else is doing it.

 I agree with you, the cruise directors do a great job for the most part, I am sure their duties involve much more than what we as paying passengers witness.

Like most people, I too wonder what people do. For example, there's that guy who always smiles at us from the end of the hall. What's his role?

Resident Stalker 🤣

Only Kidding.

Hope you have a great trip 👍🍀🚢

Yes, and it's pretty good. Not as good as you would make at home, but it sure beats the cleaning up at home. 

Thanks Ruth,

I will be looking forward to it in March on the Rotterdam 😋

Hi Everyone,

Being we are discussing food ( my personal favorite ) , does  HAL serve roasted turkey 🦃 on a regular basis. ?
Needless to say I really enjoy roast turkey and Thanksgiving only comes once a year . 🤣

The kids would enjoy RCCL more. 
Hope it all works out well for you and your family.

I have had good results with the scan / email requests.

I have never been to Amsterdam . I have enjoyed a decent bit of travel and am looking forward to some more. If cruise ships ( my preferred type of travel ) are banned from Amsterdam I guess I will just need to live without it. I am finding out that many places really don't want you there but they like your $$$$.

Hope you have a great cruise 🚢 

Hi Beth ,

l hope you had a great birthday 🎂 and a fantastic cruise.

Thank You tons for keeping us all posted with your live reports .

Safe journey back home.

All The Best 🚢🍀👍

Prime Rib , Roast Turkey Dinner, Beef Short Ribs

I have seen a price drop immediately after logging in that was usually 25% higher without logging in.

Happy hunting. Hope you find some good deals. 👍🍀

@horseymike, check the daily planner.

We noticed Bingo on the last Sea Day . I’m not not sure if there were other days. 

Played in the Eq Theatre. 
We didn’t win but it was great fun for the entire family. I hope it’s making its return. 

Thanks Dock. Glad to hear it. 😁

Me too @Georgia_Peaches lol. 
 

We also take family pics while on a cruise so I need my hair done for the pics lol.

Over the last , almost 3 decades now we’ve taken pics and it’s great to see how the kids and now grandkids change from year to year. 

These pics are also how we found out that it was time for my DH to invest in new ties.

He had been using the same 4 ties in rotation for about 10-12 yrs lol. 
 

 

Hi Dock,

I know this is a different topic , did you happen to notice if there was Bingo available on your cruise ?

(My wife likes Bingo 😁)

Thanks for your informative review .

Thanks! I'm really surprised that they accepted it 75 days out from the cruise. Bids getting accepted that far in advance don't seem very common.

Maybe some folks cancelled prior to final payment ?

Hope you have a great cruise ⛴️ Congrats.

Great review ! Looks like you are having a wonderful time 🙂

All The Best going forward 🍀

Thanks for your review, it was very informative.

👍

I heard it has it’s ups and downs 🤣

Departing for Alaska on the Solstice in two weeks, and I was excited to get what I thought was a move-up offer email. Instead, it's the opposite.

 

We're writing to let you know that, due to a rare inventory error, your scheduled sailing is currently oversold in certain stateroom categories.
If you would be willing to volunteer to move to a different stateroom type, you may be able to take advantage of a special resolution offer. 

 

The offer is a move from Veranda stateroom to Veranda stateroom with obstructed view for a $500 refund. Since this is our first trip to Alaska, we've decided to keep our original stateroom.

 

What would you do? 

I would do what you did. Keep your original stateroom.

Hope you have a great cruise 🚢 .

Thanks! There is a line on our invoice stating "service charges for dining and room attendants included". Is that it? Sorry, we do not know what exactly gratuities means. In Australia tipping is not compulsory and not expected.

 

Hope you have a great cruise mate , cheers 🍻

If you have OBC left at the end of your cruise, will they automatically use it to cover any costs you accrued on-board?  Or do you have to go to Guest Relations to tell them to apply the OBC?

Automatically
