CrusinCanadian

@Goathoops there was no contact from HAL, no refund offered at 48 hour or mention of stay on standby. I initiated all contact.

Just as a follow up for those interested, I called HAL 47 hours out from sailing time and was advised that I was still on standby, I just called today as boarding begins soon and was advised that I was no longer on standby status, reservation cancelled by HAL as of yesterday, zero chance of getting on cruise and that my payment had been refunded (not showing on my card yet of course). I asked the agent to double check with Ship Inventory for availability and he said they are closed today (Sunday). I asked for email confirmation so that I could leave Lauderdale and go with my Plan B. Good luck to all!

We are waiting to hear on the March 24 NS standby sailing that we booked with a PCC early February. The sailing is 2 days away so I’m hoping to hear sometime today. I’ll post the end result.
