    It happened to us when we were on the Niew Amsterdam in Sept. except it was an overcharge for a 4 stars Mariner in the Tamarind. Front Office cannot fix the problem and the manager of Tamarind was not available and could not be disturbed. Took a long time to fix the mistake. It also happened in the Exploration Cafe where they charged me with someone else's order of cocktail instead of a coffee. Also took a long time to fix. Extra hassle that I did not need on a cruise. Tom.

    We took 2 cruises when HAL resumed sailing. Dec. 2021 and Sept. 2022. We found that our latest cruise was a disappointment. 1. Turn down service is by request only. The room stewards have 31 cabins to take care of. The room was never taken care of when we were away for breakfast. No more chocolates in the evening 2. King crab was not available, even at a surcharge. Strange for an Alaskan cruise 3. Lobster in the MDR gala night was gone 4. No more game birds (quail, pheasants, etc.) in the MDR menu 5. Duck was way overcooked in the Tamirind 6. Entertainment was marginal. The majorities of the daily activities were taken up by advertisement of spa, or shops We spent the majority of time in our cabin watching movies which we have never done in 12 years of cruising. Tom

    Did you order it when you were on your last Alaska trip? It used to be just snow crabs. Tom

    Does HAL serve true king crab in Pinnacle Grill? Or are they snow crabs? Tom

    It is certainly doable, especially you are sisters. I have seen at least 3 girls, or more sharing a port-hole room to celebrate their high school graduation. If I were in your shoe I would insist on it instead of splitting up into 2 rooms. I think it would actually be quite cozy for all of you. Tom

    As far as I know, shipboard credits are given to you by either your TA or Holland America ( for being a Carnival shareholder or rewards for purchasing a Future Cruise deposit etc.). I have not heard anyone purchasing the SBC. Tom
