I got the survey also, live in Tennessee, and planned on getting boosted anyway before our cruise. We had planned on and talked about getting reshot a long time ago, so no biggie for us. Having almost died from swine flu, I tend to be on the side of vaccines.

Hi there, I'm sailing with a friend who will need wheelchair assist. We are being dropped off by a hotel van. What happens after we leave the van at the port? A mobility scooter has been rented and should be in our cabin.  We have been given a boarding time, but can not control the arrival time of the van. Thank you so much.  I'm so excited to get back on a ship.  Rotterdam b2b2b.

I forgot to let them know I would need a wheelchair but when I got there and told them, they brought one right out!!

Bet I am on the same ship.. Nieuw Amsterdam.. I have 4  Proctored test kits.. I will take one Thanksgiving morning.. Hopefully I will be set.. I am also looking to book a Walgreens Rapid for that Friday morning.. and would  use that as a back up.. I will check CVS out again but haven't had a lot of luck getting rapid test only the 48 to 72 hour window.. Damn  I wish they would make it three days instead of 2!.. Such anxiety.... I will try to bring an extra EMED Binax proctured kit with me to the Hotel I will be in that Friday.. In case someone is stuck and would like to have it .. 

We used the Binax Emed Proctored test and that is all we needed! It worked easily, perfectly and Holland already knew our results before we could show them our results! Will use them every time we sail!

We will be on the 5 day with you.  We have received our new boarding passes along with the luggage tags.  However, our boarding passes also say boarding time to be assigned.  Our original boarding time was 1:00, I hope that does stay the same.

Ours was also at 1. I would love that to stay the same also! 

We are looking forward to being on her is November!! 

Thank you for sharing the pictures! 

For any of those who have opted to take the 5 day cruise after losing the original 4 or 7 day one, have you gotten your boarding times assigned yet?

We opted to take the 5 day and have had our cruise moved over to a new booking number but our boarding passes say boarding time to be assigned. 

Our original boarding time was 1:00 pm, making our luggage tags yellow. I don't know if those are still valid to use or will they change...just curious, not concerned.

The letter says: "You will be automatically rebooked on the 5-day cruise at a special rate" - but maybe that doesn't count for new bookings..... 

I am sorry, but I doubt it would count. My TA called and found out the rate will be the same as the 4 day was for those of us booked already. I am so beyond excited to go.

Wouldn't that depend on the cabin level you are booked in?

Yes, but I have since found out it's for the same price. 

My daughter and I were suppose to sail the 3rd, does anyone know what the cost change is yet?

We learned more about the Delta Variant and how vaccinated people can transmit the virus.  The CDC came out with guidance saying masks should be worn in indoor places vaccinated or not.   As we learn more, we adjust what we are doing to protect everyone's health.  Personally, I like that HAL is doing what they are doing to keep me healthy.  

Very true!

My husband, daughter, son in law and myself were all vaccinated in March and April, all of us got the Delta Variant in July. Most of us had the Phizer vaccine, 1 of us got the Moderna. Having Covid wasn't a picnic but we all handled it fairly well and I am prone to pneumonia , so i was glad to avoid a hospital trip!! 

We don't sail until March but am grateful HAL will be doing what is needed at that time to help protect us!

We learned the hard way on our first time at Labadee.  Now we take the free tram to Columbus Cove.  No rocks.  Plenty of shade.

Grandma, Thanks for letting me know that!!

I was hoping it was just that, a rumor.  I really want to stop there since we've never been.  I'm not new to the cruise rumors, that's why I asked.

We were there in December for the first time. Be sure and skip the first 2 beach areas as they are very rocky!! Otherwise, it is beautiful there!

My daughter and I were on Independence the week before Christmas and her cup had an ending date on it for 2 days after the cruise. All the machines were back in working order and we did not see anyone using other cups! 

14 years ago we paid 59.99 after employee discount for a 4 piece set of heavy duty canvas luggage. It is still going strong and has had more trips than I can count! 

Sorry your luggage was ruined and I hope you find a good one to replace it with!

I put mine in my front basket and leave my battery in the scooter, as it weights 29 pounds and is too heavy for me to carry!

I just wanted to take the time to tell all of you Thank You!

I am so grateful you took the time to let us going soon know how the island is!

Thanks again,

Kathy

Just heard from Celebrity that both my brother and his wife were killed in the accident.

Sam, I am so sorry to hear this. Please know I will pray for you, for your Mom and Dad, as well as your family.

Me too!

Us too!

Did it post on your cruise personalizer? I called my TA and got the OBC but Princess told TA it won’t show on personalizer since it is only related to this specific cruise. But I’ll get it once on board in February.

Anyone else receive credit but told not posting to personalizer prior to cruise?

We got credit and it shows on our personalizer and our travel summary.

Just did this 10 min ago and received $100 for first two people in each cabin for a total of $400 for our family of 4! The rep wasn’t happy about it, but I didn’t have to say anything other than how disappointed I was that what we booked (*****) was not what we received.

 

Thank you, Kathy :hearteyes::hearteyes:

Your welcome! Yay, so happy for you!

what was the phone # you called back with?

 

Tia

1-800-774-6237

I had sent an email a week ago after numerous employees refused to give me a credit and I got a call back today from Customer Service. It went to my voicemail and when I called back I immediately put in the extension they had given me and I got right to them. The extension is 44411 and her name is Alicia. It says if you know your vacation planners extension and that is when I put it in!

 

Good luck!

 

Kathy

PS, The Customer Service rep was outstanding and super, super nice!!

What phone number are you guys calling that allows you to call the extension? I call the General Support (1-800-774-6237) but I don't see where I can put the extension.
