One way to solve this problem would be for cruise lines to stop charging extortionate prices for ship's excursions. It seems to me that their markups are typically about 200% on top of the operators prices.

That was some time ago. It was all sorted and we're now on the cruise and have spent the credit.

I've just found that as well - the $100 is to upgrade. Thanks for the chart. Looks like it would be $440 for us. We would just get a one device plan and share it between us. Even with a wine package each, it's drastically cheaper that HIA.

We're currently on a 31 night cruise with Have it All and we're looking at a 28 night cruise without it. On the Navigator app, we're seeing 30 days for $100 but don't know if or how we'll be able to access that.

Surf is now only available with their Have it All fare. I'm looking for a price for the most basic plan (now Premium) for 28 days.

Thanks for your suggestions. It has "Redeem perk" but it only says "Your uploaded brokerage statement is being processed." so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope they're prompt.

There was nowhere to enter the booking number, hence my question.

I've just submitted my CCL statement to Stockperks for a cruise starting in 5 weeks (so getting close) but it hasn't asked for any of the cruise details that Carnival say you need to submit. Does that get asked when Stockperks accept your share holding? Thanks

We've just been on Cunard and I ordered a birthday chocolate cake through the "Australian" call centre. Unfortunately, the person was very poor at English and we ended up with a plain sponge cake. Both the head waiter and the purser's desk tried to make out that it was my fault

Just to fill in about Cunard's attempts to clean the hull in the last few days. We were on the Burnie cruise and the email we got has already been published in this thread. Instead of taking a day and two nights to get to Burnie, we raced down there and got in position overnight. However, the wind was 28 knots so we did those holding pattern rectangles for 24 hours. Unfortunately, by then, the wind had been up to 44 knots (a strong gale) so we did get to go to Burnie, the cleaning couldn't be done and we didn't get our OBC or FCC, much to lots of peoples' disappointment. My sympathy goes out to the passengers due to leave to NZ today. Let's hope some better methods are found to deal with this recent problem/requirement.

My Australia pins say Australia-New Zealand. Am I right in thinking that the old series are thicker than the new ones? I've got four each spare of the thick Australia & New Zealand pins and of the thin Asia pins plus three thick Alaska and one thin South Pacific. The pictures on the thicker ones are whiter than on the thin ones. I haven't got either type for Mexico or Panama, don't have the thick ones for Australia-New Zealand or South America and only have thin ones for Alaska, Australia-New Zealand, South America and South Pacific. Anyone interested in swaps?

Restarting this conversation, we've been on Westerdam for 9 days around NZ and have won 12 pins. All but two are Alaska. They are also awarding certificates for sports.

Thanks. Maybe it's just ships in the southern hemisphere that they've got rid of mini golf. We've got some of the ludicrously large ships which don't have mini golf.

John, Thanks for the comment. Explorer certainly had one when we were on it back in 2017 but lots of courses have been removed since then (several of the HAL ships for example).

This was the most nearly appropriate topic for this query. My question is: Are there any cruise ships still with mini golf cruises? There has been a trend over recent years to get rid of this facility that we really enjoy. I'm primarily interested in ships that predominantly cruise outside the USA.
