what if its packed in luggage?

Can we bring wine onboard now? things have changed. Please respond only if you have actually done this - not word of mouth info

so very well balanced thanks - wondering if 5 days effects entertainment? the food was disappointing but yes - budget cuts - I love your attitude

and I agree - but all I heard about was "they are charging for a second shrimp" They are charging for ... If there are problems - state them and move on -

I don't think so but seems like people just want to complain - Is that the point of these threads? Lots of cruise lines - pick another

I think I've missed the point of this post - HAL doesn't live up to my expectations? Things aren't like the old days? I want what I had before without paying for it? Fortunately we all can cruse any line we want - If we aren't happy we can move on- I am just thrilled that COVID didn't kill the cruise line - and if you think it did - save your money and stay home

took advantage of this offer for sure !!!

its a do as you want dress code - yes - many basically follow the 'guidelines' - but many do not. dress as you'd like and enjoy your cruise - Many of us enjoy the class of HAL and dress for dinner and 'gala' but many do not

If I use gift cards to pay for my gratuities once I get on board - will that count towards my stars? i.e. - i bring 300 worth of gift cards and have them applies at the front desk-

Thank you so much for the info --- we are cruisers HAL - so we know gratuities and specialty restaurants for sure - The PLAY activities (which I won't use but hubby might) - are not on HAL - We are on NCL for the itinerary this time for sure - I don't do floating cities or malls LOL Again thanks for the info -

where can I find pricing for all the 'extras' on the new Prima - looks like there are many - we do small ships without the holabaloo - have no idea what this might run

Looks like the is plenty of Pay Extra things on Prima - not interested in that but we shall see- Where can I find pricing on all of this

This ship looks VERY large - I'm a smaller ship gal. I will enjoy the beauty I'm sure and I'm on her for the itinerary. I will keep an open mind about the size of this ship.

wow - you get a discount for dinner and then want a discount on uncharges - Cruise lines are a business !!!! pay the up charge or skip that item !!!!!!

you should ALWAYS have them empty the mini fridge on the first day !!!!!!!!!!!

well this is a fun group who - hope I miss you all when cruising - duh -- lol so funny - contractions lolololololol

Whose sailing Jan 25 - round trip from FT lauderdale into canal and back?? whose going??

so you booked on a new line HAL without checking out how the line functions>>> how's that workin for ya LOL HAL is not part ship central for sure - there's plenty to do but.... if you want to party till 2 am you picked the wrong line. poppas

I just love these "discussions" - Like I wouldn't cruise because the music isn't up to my standards - oh my - I am sooooo pleased to be cruising - is the entertainment lacking - yep - we rarely go to the shows in the evening any longer. I know these are opinions - I am NOT wearing a mask- thanks for reminding us - yes i'm awful but it is my choice - I love cruising and I did it with a mask -(hated it) but I did it -- people get sick on cruise ships regularly well before COVID - If it makes you nervous or you don't like the music - stay home - its' that easy

I love people who complain about germs, are afraid of germs etc and sill cruise!!!!!! stay home if germs make you nervous

HAL is - smaller, quieter, classier than her rivals. Food and service unparalleled. It is NOT a floating busy resort. You will have to decide if it fits your family. The music is amazing, BB King awesome - shows are ok and you can't part till 2 am.

I love these questions - They are so subjective. Do you get cold easily? Are you usually warm? Lots of people say it chilly - I have never been chilly in the MDR - take a sweater/wrap and be prepared - What I think probably won't help you

you are having crowd anxiety and you want to get on a cruise ship?? an enclosed cruise ship? not sure i understand this reasoning but there is no less crowed areas or times

They Do Not force whiners to dress up LOL -- If you want dressed up, classy cruising you need Cunard and small for sure - In this day and age we do not force anyone to do anything they do not want to.

If you get on a ship and Do Not have covid - what good would a vaccine be. If you live in fear of covid stay home Please - I got vaccinated to get on a ship - I took a cruise with a mask on - It sucked!!!!!!!!!! I do not care if you are vaccinated or not - I'm glad to know that you got on the ship negative.!!!!
