  5. And I took Pizza orders for a Dominoes in your fair city for about 2 hours many years ago.
  6. @P&PNH Where I live is right next to a major college campus (University of Georgia). I have two cats that go in and out thru a cat door as they please. Goldie appeared a little over a week ago by entering thru the cat door. Students who get their first apartment generally want a pet, usually a cat. When they leave the area it is quite common for them to leave the cats in the Athens area, either by leaving them near their apartment or by taking out to 'the country' (which sorta describes where I live). Leo was also a student abandoned cat a couple of years ago. We are not going to abandon Goldie. We are checking to see the best place to take him where he will end up in a good home.
  7. Since we are honoring cats today Callie Leo Goldie Unfortunately, Goldie can't stay. He doesn't get along with Callie and Leo. We are looking for the best option.

  9. Your TA knows your preference and so provides you with the pdf, but they may not do the same for all their clients. I have worked with many agents, both at HAL and independent, and never received a Guest Copy until I found out that they exist and asked for it. My current TA knows that I want one each time a change is made and provides it, but wouldn't have if I hadn't asked.
  10. As I said earlier, the TA should send you a copy of the HAL pdf, but in my dealings with many PCCs and Travel Agents, most don't send you that pdf unless you specifically request it, some don't even know that it exists. In the case of many travel agents, the agency they work for doesn't forward the pdf to them.
  11. Not all travel agents provide the Guest Copy from HAL unless you prompt them for it. Sometimes they only provide their invoice, which should show the same information.

  14. yes, it will be refunded to your card on file, or you can receive it in cash on the final night of the cruise.

  17. I request a new Guest Copy each time a change is made as well, but again it would be nice if there was a line that said Stockholder Credit, another for military, etc. At present the Guest Copy I get only shows a total.
  18. My problem with the amount listed on the "Guest Copy" from HAL directly or by way of a TA is that it is a total amount, not broken down by how the credit was issued. It is not possible to be sure that all OBC you are eligible for has been credited or which is missing.
