I always find it interesting that people who can afford a cruise which we all know isn’t cheap complain about nickels and dimes. But you’re allowed to do that in the great old USA. And I agree if you have a problem, put it on the survey at the end of the cruise.

Isn’t it wonderful and I find it amazing that this is the biggest thing you have to fuss over lol only in a first world country.

Who actually pays attention to embarkation time.  

Are you planning for some thing that probably won’t happen?

So is shareholder -per room

Love the pinnacal  for lunch. 

Im an Old Fashion drinker.  I find them really good on Holland 

I read all of the answers. Thank you very much to everyone who answered. I didn’t explain the situation. Well you don’t understand the complete situation I said thank you very much. Thank you very much and I’m done.
 

Ok. I surrender.

Who is 'They'?

The only people who will sell places on a charter is the charterer or the appointed selling agents.  HAL will not sell them.  

Oh my God you don’t stop. If they don’t sell out the ship, they being the people who are planning the charter, they will give what’s left to HAL to sell. Or can the charter.  They the people who are doing the charter.

OK everybody can relax now I understand chartered cruises. I’m not trying to get on one. I’m trying to book in 2025 on a specific ship, that is currently chartered and I can’t get on it. My travel agent has informed me of this, so I’m not just making stuff up. If the charter doesn’t go through completely, they will open up spots on that ship. And I might want to book one. So I was wondering how to find out what the rest of the ship might be. that should end this chat thank you very much 

The joke on our Alaska cruise was that dress up night was long sleeve camo shirts lol every other night they were short sleeve camo shirts

Looking to book a cruise in 2025 that is currently going to be a charter. If the charter falls through, they’ll open it up to passengers, but I’m wondering what the group might be. Not too many groups that would keep me from sailing on a ship, but there are some just curious

You can find it 2 weeks in advance.  Not before 

Any way to identify a chartered cruise?

Neither navigator app or web site show my OBC or my prepaid gratuities!  I find this aggravating.

 Always do 2 top. Usually when it opens. Never had a problem!  we often reserve a table.  

Any one done a day pass there.   Recently.

If we should decide to do an "Antigua On Your Own" excursion, are there decent restaurant/bars where we can kick back for an hour or so.

 

Any restaurant recommendations?  

There are great restaurants in ANTIGUA     San Martin is a wonderful bakery/resturant.  Can’t tell you where it is but have been then several times - great coffe shops/ ice cream places.  The is a nice Jade shop.   Lots of walking pay attention to where you are because it all looks the same. It’s cobblestone and on the sidewalks. The windows stick out so pay attention to what you’re doing. Go find the Market in the middle and haggle for everything.

Oh my. I love eurodam.  What a great ship.  Interested in hearing about your trip.  Not sure I want to cruise for that length of time as I have family and friends at home I would miss and I feel like those state room cabins shrink a little overtime lol. Thanks for taking the time to Phyllis in on your details.

I am a tipper but I think adding a tip automatically - with out telling u in advance is ridiculous.  I know longer use this service on ships.  

Anyone have a current copy of the wine list on HAL  new state dam if that makes a difference 

thanks everyone -  just what I expected

Im a cruiser but not NCL  - just curious as to temps on board in public spaces and dining rooms.  I know this is subujective and will take that into account.  I will have a wrap for evenings etc.
