    I never like the risks with a guarantee so I would take 7002 or 7004 and mark No Upgrade. The only disadvantage is the distance from the Neptune Lounge. But that's no big deal.

    Didn't HAL say they couldn't pass the inspections because they didn't have sinks available outside?

    From mid February to late March the Rotterdam sails the 9 day Southern Caribbean and 12 day Panama Canal itineraries. HAL has an annoying habit of only listing an itinerary on the first sailing (usually in January) and then you have to click on additional dates. It would be so much easier if they listed each date individually.

    They have given away so many cabins with casino deals and other offers that now they have to raise prices to make money.

    It's very confusing because you have to book the HIA rate to get the free upgrade. And, even then it is only to an obstructed balcony.

    One customer service rep said it would be added before January 31 and another one said it would be added on January 31. Don't know why they have to wait.

    The Nieuw Amsterdam hasn't had a drydock in 5 years. It's about time.
  8. KAKcruiser
    I couldn't find any sailings for the Nieuw Amsterdam from February 19 to March 12. Some of that must be drydock. It seems unlikely they would have that many charters.

    Are you thinking of another cruise line? I think Celebrity's web site has an interactive map.

    I know it wouldn't have to go to Bermuda but I would love to have a cruise from or to Fort Lauderdale stop in Bermuda.
  11. KAKcruiser
    There could be a case where the ship could originate in Quebec and stop in Bermuda and then end in Fort Lauderdale. I would definitely book that.

    Theoretically you should be able to get a price adjustment if the VE category goes down since that is the category you paid for. In reality, you might not get too far with the regular customer service reps who sometimes have trouble figuring it out. Then you have to demand to speak to a price specialist who will adjust the price with no problem.

    We also did the surveys but did not receive the welcome back offer.

    Again, you need to find out what they mean by "sports shoes."
  15. KAKcruiser
    I wonder if they are referring to flip flops or sandals as sports shoes. I can't believe they would object to sneakers.
  16. KAKcruiser
    We haven't received welcome back offers after cruises in years. But, I just call and use the promo number and they honor it.

    If you make final payment early and then book flights on flight ease, does that mean you will not be able to make any changes as soon as you book the flights?

    I never thought about taking the card for the next cruise. Usually I don't use it if we have HIA. But next time we don't.

    Somehow I am skeptical about what the agent told you. Did you receive a confirmation telling you when the deposit is due? Usually a hold is until the deposit is due. So either your hold is until Jan 2 or your deposit is due tomorrow. I would definitely go with a refundable deposit.

    It has never been possible to cancel a cruise on the HAL website. You have to call. Or maybe you could send a email. I never tried that.
  21. KAKcruiser
    I understand what you are saying. Maybe HAL should find a way to hire an existing band. And, maybe they could hire two piano players for Billboard who know each other. I've seen very good singers who are great together and I've also seen very mediocre singers who are not very good together.

    If you look at the Caribbean schedule for next fall and spring, you will see that all the itineraries have less ports and less hours. The 10 day southern caribbean on the Rotterdam with 6 ports has been changed to 9 days with 4 ports. The 12 day Rotterdam panama canal in the fall doesn't have as many ports as you would expect for a cruise of that length.
  23. KAKcruiser
    I think it was supposed to be 246 (instead of 2046) over capacity of 2600. It is my understanding that capacity is the lower berths filled and over capacity would consist of third and fourth persons in a cabin.

    I think I would reinstate the Hawaii trip. Can you get fixed dining applied to that reservation? You really should have worked out dinner in the dining room on your last cruise. I'm sure it would have added to your enjoyment of that cruise. You don't need a reservation for open dining. Just show up.

    I didn't know you could get last morning room service breakfast. Our cabin steward didn't leave the card so we figured it was not available.
