  1. I’m guessing it is a standby program like the one HAL has rolled out.
  2. Exactly. You couldn’t pay me to take a 7 day cruise during spring break weeks. The Pinnacle Class ships are also more popular with families and younger cruisers. I’m hardly a HAL cheerleader, but this is not a situation unique to HAL. All mass market lines will be full of kids and families during spring break. The kids sail free thing is hardly new either. We started sailing HAL when our son was a young teen (16-17 years ago) because they frequently had kids sail free or 3rd and 4th in the cabin free. We used to joke that they obviously had no idea how much teenage boys eat, or they wouldn’t have allowed him on for free, lol.
  3. Thank you to all for taking us along on this cruise! Safe travels home. @canadianbear, yes no rush to the airport if you’re on AC. They will NOT let you drop your bags early. We had to wait an hour to do so last time. @BermudaBound2014 Give my regards to Kapalua! One of my favourite places.
  4. This is another reason why we like the Queen set up. I like to do yoga, etc and it’s pretty tight when they are twins. I really noticed this when I cruised with my sister instead of DH once.
  5. Lately I’ve had no problems with the website on my new Ipad just using Safari. In fact it’s working much better than before. It was very clunky on my old IPad though. I have had to “whitelisted” the website with my content blocker and enable pop ups.
  6. Yes, us too. Not a deal for Vancouverites for sure. And we could apply our CCL stock credit, and get OBC with the current 50% off last minute sale. Now, if a Vancouver to Hawaii itinerary showed up on the list, we would sign up for sure.
  7. Concerto on deck 6 has reserve class, but that’s not a reason to avoid it. We have an upcoming B2B and are 14 days in Concerto and 7 in Allegro, so we can compare again, lol. Allegro “seems” a little less hectic to me because fewer people seem to find it for walk ups, but I could be wrong.
  8. I have found it easier to Google search my topic with “cruisecritic” at the end. Forum search engines are pretty clunky imho. Love your CC handle by the way!
  9. Good Luck. If you don’t have your call back in a day or 2 call again.
  10. It’s working for me now too. Finally!
  11. @pryce_tag Do you have the option to bid on a regular mini suite? It doesn’t sound like you are interested in the “reserve” benefits, but more the extra space, etc. It may be a lot less.
  12. While it would be nice to have the extra room (and a tub) with a child, I would not pay $4000 for it. I don’t consider that a sensible price, but I don’t know how long your cruise is. Remember that you’ll have a very, very large balcony with your aft deluxe stateroom which you may loose in your upsell. I personally also have issue with Princess “counterbidding”. I would not play that game. I also think you’ve answered your own question when you say you’re not sure it’s “worth it”.
  13. I feel like this would have been the best option in the “olden days” ie pre Covid, when they had knowledgeable staff. These days, you could probably get 5 different answers, none of which will be accurate. Probably why OP came here.
