Interesting story - now, don't hate me - but, is a paraplegic allowed on a tender? I've had to get realistic about my touring as time has gone by. Just saying.
We just did a cruise with a lot of tender ports and the center seats - the ones that are on the same level as the door - were filled with people who had limited mobility, and a stack of walkers and wheelchairs. At some stops, it was quite interesting to see the crew help them on and off, but they are very good at it.

The tender had taken their passports in and returned
Thank you, that was my question. The original article I read says they were left with no documents, no money, no medications, nothing from their cabins.

We are sailing next September and the price is $65. Nope.

STILL THERE.
This does not speak well of their IT department, at all.

It's STILL on their site! Starting at $577, quite the bargain.

I really want to go on this cruise.

I have to echo that, we took the Bermuda Ferry to St. George and when we were done took a local bus to Hamilton. It was great to see Bermuda and meet the polite Bermudans on the bus, constantly offering me their seat when the bus got full and I stood up for an elderly person.
Then it was the Hamilton Ferry back to the ship.
How much is the ferry, how much is the bus? They take credit cards I hope?

My daughter's first cruise was when she was 13, back in the days of dressing for dinner and assigned tables for all three meals. She doesn't like 'weird' stuff, so the first night she asked for a kid's menu. Bless his heart, the waiter brought her a kid's menu and some crayons. She ordered from the adult menu and tried something new every night. 🙂

How was the price? I have heard it has increased significantly.

Yes, the inflation is very very bad and the political unrest has increased. They had nationwide protests yesterday, which we saw
in Puerto Madryn. Evidently in Buenos Aires, many flights were canceled, because all of the government workers were on strike. There are no current protest planned for the day we leave, but I am still nervous.
We arrived right after the new president was inaugurated, and people were a bit nervous. From the time between Puerto Madryn and Ushuaia, the rate changed dramatically. 😞

@flamingos 822 Argentine Pesos per US dollar. That is the official exchange rate, the “blue” rate is 1,200 per US dollar. Hubby did not get a receipt from the ATM and he is not sure, but since it was from a bank ATM we are assuming the “Red” official rate.
Wow. The official rate mid-December was 347 peso to the dollar, and the blue rate was between 800 and 1000, depending on where you went.

$25.00 US out of an ATM and receiving a giant wad of Argentine Pesos.
What's the exchange rate today?

No. There has been no invitation from Royal for such a thing.
People who want to bring their pets don't need invitations, they simply falsify documents. 🙂 This will encourage them, I think.

If we do specialty dining, we do the cheaper lunch option on a sea day.

I just logged on - everything is fine
It worked fine, but took quite a long time to load the pages. I'm glad they have fixed it!

You have to manually put in your booking number.
Thank you. So for check-in, which I have already done, that works. For any other option, like short excursions of checking my flights, it simply goes to a white screen and dies. 🙂
I hope they get it fixed soon.

You can't "click it"; you have to hover.
Hovered, clicked check-in, - no bookings found.
Manage my flights - no bookings found. 😞

I picked Manage My cruise and then submitted my booking number and it showed the booking I was looking for. I also needed to finish checking in.
I just closed the window, typed in the website, clicked Manage My Cruise and still get 'no bookings found'.

Same here. I am trying to check in!
Try the Navigator app, since mine still seems to be working.

I hope the HAL website gets fixed soon.
We found your account, but didn't see any related booking numbers. It can take up to 24 hours for a booked cruise to appear in your account.

I think they are allowed to choose if they get off or stay. If you remember that awful incident a few years ago where the passenger swore when room service woke her up and the guy came back and attacked her, the first passenger who responded to her screams chose to leave the cruise with her because he didn't want her to be completely alone when she went to the hospital on land.
No, don't recall that one. What?

Is HAL supplying KN95 masks.? For those that want them?
Our last cruise they provided basic masks, not KN95. Check the pockets of your jackets, they're still in there from last year. 🙂

Hmmm...We've always had access to our same B2B cabin and our check in has usually been done the day before at the consecutive cruisers meeting.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your reply.
The ones I have been on, we all were led off to the terminal. Got checked in, which included a skip the line pass if we decided to go back to town, and could get back on the ship. We switched rooms, but we sat talking to people who were staying in the same cabin who also hung out in the lounge with us.
-
After you go to the terminal to get checked in for you new cruise, you can choose to go back on board but you have to stay in public areas, and there will be no services available until they start letting passengers on, ~10:30 or 11. Bring a book, find a comfy chair in a lounge.
