Thanks.

Thanks, I am still trying to find the right one. I have sent an email to HAL app support.

I have been on Celebrity cruises with a Catholic priest aboard. They are usually retired priests or about to retire. But there are not as many RC priests anymore. Locally, the Buffalo diocese has started the "family parish" system--1 priest serves 3 or 4 parishes.

Thanks. I am working on it.

I tried using my tablet, also no go.

They also introduced a referral program-$500 discount

Thanks Sue

I have joined the Mariner program. I rec'd an email urging me to install HAL app on my phone. But a notice popped up: "This device is not compatible with the app." I have an android phone and it accepted RCI and Celebrity apps. Any suggestions?

It took them years to agree to merge PS with ACL, after requests from cruise pax. We cruised PS 1st time in 2019 and it was an issue then. I doubt AQV will happen, but you can live in hope.

I have rec'd brochures from Vantage Explorations. They must have purchased Vantage Travel mailing list.

They have merged loyalty programs with ACL, parent company, about 4 months ago.

Great review. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for comments. We have booked a midship veranda cabin on a Y4L cruise tour, Aug 25, 2025 on Konigsdam.

Hi We have never cruised on HAL and are planning on booking a 2025 Alaska cruise/land tour with Denali and Yukon. I have identified 2 ships, Zaandam(older and smaller) and Koningsdam(newer and bigger). I have read some posts on this board that the Lido on current Koningsdam cruises is crowded and understaffed. Is this true across the board on all HAL ships? Any thoughts pro or con? Thanks Tom

We did it last Sept and found the food to be very good, except for 1 meal, where the lamb was terrible. The waiter offered me lobster tail, which I accepted. It was delicious.

We were on an ACL Columbia river cruise in 2022 and found the food very good. Pearl Seas is owned by ACL and they have now merged loyalty programs..

About 10 yrs ago I used the ATM on a Celebrity ship. The fee was $6, in addition to my bank fee.

My wife and I have visited Vermont several times. She loves covered bridges and we have seen every one in Vermont. See https://www.vermontbridges.org/cb_tours/keatings/keatings_ultimate_cb_tour_2005.shtml
