We have HIA on our booking but we will also purchase a wine package (we have a boatload of OBC)
for a drink or two on the balcony. I'm sure my husband at some point will pick up a bucket of beer to stash in the mini fridge.
Exactly, we all have different opinions on what constitutes good entertainment. I don't envy HAL trying to find the best answers to keep the most people happy.
For us, we couldn't care less about these things. Listening to band and dancing for a couple hours is preferable than watching a production show or sitting quietly listening to chamber music for us. If HAL is going to cut things, I'm OK with what they have chosen to eliminate. Of course, others will feel differently.
But that is very subjective. What is easy for some will be strenuous for others. Some are fine with uphill but downhill is difficult or vice versa. Stairs versus an incline, standing for an hour versus walking etc. And you will still have people that underestimate their physical capabilities. There just is no easy answer.
Yes you can. Once you log in, you'll be able to go to your account and select your booking. From there you will see excursions, dinning reservations etc that are available. These things may not be available until about 6-8 months before your cruise.
I'm always fascinated by industrial ports. I love watching the ships being unload, all the activity is interesting to me. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy a beautiful sail in with natural beauty but where some people dread the "ugly" industrial ports, I always look forward to them.
Agreed. If I'm comfortable with what I pay for what I get, I'm not going to fuss about what others pay.
If I feel it's so unfair that I'm paying more than others than I wouldn't pay that price.
I've been reading about that on another WC blog that I've been following. This couple follow the rules and every time they get to the bus most of the seats are already full! It amazes me that grow ups will act that way😣
We don't eat dinner with people we haven't met previously. Even if it means waiting for a table.
We don't go to any of the large singing/dancing shows.
No spa services.
No door decorations. There is a number that tells us which cabin is ours.
We never play trivia but will listen if we're in the area.
We don't fuss about how things "used to be". We enjoy what is.
True, but what you and others are pointing out is the length of the meal is too much for young children. That's what I was addressing not the cost involved.
