Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. try a different browser. I can't access my account via Chrome or Firefox but can if I use Edge.
  2. That's what I am doing. I think it may become an issue if you are staying more than 30 days, then you need to submit the form for approval prior to arrival.
  3. We are on the Westerdam next week for the 14 day Japan Explorer cruise. I just received an email from HAL at 10:53 PM with some new to me requirements. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is this a requirement for Japan? We have surrendered our passports to HAL on other itineraries before. Here is the text from the email: IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION In order to streamline our embarkation process, all guests must bring two photocopies of their passports which will be collected at check-in for your cruise. While color copies are preferred, black and white photocopies will be accepted. In addition, guests should also keep a photo of the passport photo page on their personal device to ensure a digital backup is available. Copies should be clear, good quality images on letter-sized or A4 paper. As a reminder, all guests on this voyage are required to present a passport book that is valid for six months after the completion of travel at cruise check-in. Please ensure the name on your passport matches your name as it appears on your booking. Your passport must contain at least three blank pages for entry and exit endorsements and any required visas; guests with insufficient blank passport pages may be fined by shoreside authorities. To expedite your embarkation, please register your passport via Online Check-In or in the Navigator app. Ships'
  4. First prize in the Spin and Sail Slot Tournament on the N. Statendam in December 2023 was $100k. I placed 15th for $1,700. We had lots of fun. Also witnessed a $15k win on Buffalo while on the British Isles cruise in August 2023 on the N. Statendam.
  5. My history was updated as well today from December 17th disembarkation.
  6. We visited Devil's Island on March 9, 2023 while on a Viking cruise of the Amazon. Great place to explore but very hot. There wasn't any vaccine requirement for the trip.
  7. I received this yesterday: Thank you for your recent correspondence with Holland America Line. Upon completing your cruise, it should take approximately 7-10 days after the sailing ends for your Mariner profile to reflect the cruise and any onboard spending bonus or suite bonus you may be entitled to. That said, there has been a known delay on the Dec 2023 sailings being processed. It Is being worked on and you would get the details once it has finished being processed.
  8. Title needs a date change to December 10th or I missed the ship today.
  9. WhatsApp worked fine while cruising Antarctica.
  10. Here is the apology letter we received the following morning.
  11. Here is a picture from our HAL shore excursion. The local police/military escorted us around town with shotgun toting officers on dirt bikes. Very reassuring. 😲
  12. We were avoiding a storm about 4 years ago and HAL used Samana as a substitution. Absolutely the worst port we have visited. HAL refunded most of the fee for the "Cultural Tour of Samana" excursion. Don't leave the ship.
  13. Thanks for posting this. I check my Amex offers periodically for this discount and have used it in the past. Will apply to the balance for Japan cruise in April.
