Thanks for the replies everyone!

Hello! I have a cell plan with free data/voice roaming in Mexico. Will we be close enough to shore for me to use this on days at sea? The only internet plan available for purchase is the premium internet plan for $110 per person. Should I buy now or will there be other plans available and/or less expensive once on board? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! I am looking to book my next cruise soon. I received free rooms through the casino but the itinerary I want to book is not listed on their sheet of qualifying sailings... What do you recommend I do? Travel agency seems like they have the best promo incl signature package etc. Which one of the above avenues for booking have the most leverage to get the most perks? I do not want to price out the same sailing out 4 times with all 4 entities. Your help is very appreciated!!! Thank you!!!!

Hey there! We are ready to set sail shortly and was wondering if when you have the Navigator app installed on your phone and someone sends a chat to me through the Navigator app, will my phone zing/buzz/ding to notify me? Will it notify me even if the app not actively open on my phone? TLDR: does the chat feature on the Navigator app function as a SMS replacement in regards to pushing notifications?

Hey there, we will need to get from the cruise terminal to the Blue Star ferry terminal in Athens in a few weeks and the fare is too short for a cab and too long to walk with luggage. What are our options? I've read that there is a shuttle that will take you from cruise port to ferry port but those were old forum posts. Is the shuttle still a thing? and how do we sign up? Thanks in advance!!!

Please keep us posted with any updates.

This sounds like such a nightmare! Were the flights listed on your itinerary from HAL?

Thanks for all the updates VMAX!! Can you tell us a bit more about the embarkation process? I'm very concerned I will be missing a document and not be allowed to get on the ship! I've flown A LOT over the past 2 years with covid and the airlines were pretty relaxed re vaccine docs and test results (ie photocopies ok vs real cards) and treated covid docs more like a formality vs a bonafide req. Was it like that at embarkation? I'm also worried my covid test results will be emailed and I will not have access to a printer in Venice. I'm scheduled to take the test the previous day. Will they accept me showing them the email from my phone or do they collect the paper documents for physical passenger files? Are they HAL employees checking vaccine cards and test results or CDC transport authority officials? Sorry for all the questions 🙂 Thanks again!!

I'm a big gambler and love slots in Vegas and CA reservation casinos. I know that cruise ships are not regulated by a gaming board or commission like Vegas so my question is are they just a bit tighter or are they WAY off? Vegas is over 90% payback (obviously not per player). How bad are the slots on HAL ships? Last time I his a casino on a ship was over 20 years ago. I'm not looking to make any money, but more to ride out a few nights with cocktails and slots and wondering if it will be a fast downhill race to broke or if I will be able to play tug-o-war for a few hours before the inevitable. Thanks for your feedback y'all!!!

I want to party with JohnnyPro44!!! Are room service/minibar drinks included in the package?

Can we pay the water taxi with credit card or is it cash only?

You are correct! 11am! I will update my calendar. You, my friend, may have just saved my marriage.

Thank you VMAX!

Hello everyone! We are getting ready to head to Venice for our cruise and although I know I need to be in Tronchetto at 1130am to catch the transit shuttle to Trieste port, I don't know where in Tronchetto I need to be. Tronchetto is a large chuck of land and I do not want to be on the wrong side and miss the boat! Does anyone with past experience know where on Tronchetto I need to be to catch the transit shuttlebus? Thanks in advance!

The public transportation mask mandate is set to expire June 15, 2022 unless extended. Most US based airlines are not enforcing masks on flights to Italy.
