Buy all your sodas at happy hour 50% off, then bring them back to your cabin.

That would apply if you went to the inside cabin from the verandah, you would get 50 % off cruise fare, but would still pay full taxes and port fees.

Crab Cakes, so very good. They make great Halibut. Key Lime Pie, but ask how big is the slice as sometimes it is so big of a slice big enough for two people.

When we have the drinks package we go to the Tamarind Bar for drinks sometimes.

Loving this review. Great information, pictures. Thank you.

We print the statement on our desktop to PDF, we then use an editor to cross off account number, then email that statement to myself, I then save it on my cell phone, then I do a manual update to Stockperks.

You can manually ask for ticketing on the HAL flight ease section. There is a request for early ticketing icon. I have my two flights upcoming in January and March 2025 both ticketed and seats selected. Prices were just going up and up so locked it on.

Just give HAL customer service a call to book the cruise and add CO

I guess it depends on the cruise we have summer 2026 booked and the excursions are out for our cruise.

There is an area in the Stockperks app where it shows what bookings you have redeemed for.

We cruised with another couple to Alaska this summer they booked earlier than us and chose their cabin as they like to know where they will be, they chose an inside on deck 7 an M inside, we went with inside guarantee and got a J inside on deck one. Wow, we loved that room. We could hear a very little noise from billboard on board area but not enough to bother us at all. That is my new favourite the J inside. It was about 50% larger than the M inside on deck 7.

The January cruise you can submit to Stockperks in November that is the message I get from Stockperks for my January cruise.

Remember to purchase your canned coke during happy hour 50% off. I buy four at a time during happy hour for in cabin consumption.

They used to have this years ago, way before Covid. We cruise two or three times every year I can’t remember this even from 2018 forward. They used to have a 5:00pm glass of wine and a hot appetizer of the day in the Ocean Bar each day for I think it was $5.00 they don’t even do that anymore even at a higher price. We came off of a grand voyage this year in April and also did 14 days Alaska, neither had hot hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hours. On our last sail away port on the grand they brought out cold appetizers at the sea view pool area.

Love the reporting and posts, thank you. Looking forward to future posts. Have a great cruise.

It all depends on length of the cruise. 6 days or less $50.00 7- 13 days $100.00 14 or over $250.00

Did you try to cash out or spend the whole $100.00

Not sure.

7:30 pm and 9:00 pm.

I booked a flight for return end of June 2025 on August 4th, 2024. Are you using a web browser, search Holland America, manage my cruise, flights, log in, choose your booking and you should be good to go.

@Btimmer HI Tim, sorry to ask you on this live from I remember one of your live from I think it was just after Covid and you went to Papua New Guinea, we are going there this January can you remember or can you check your statement was a visa necessary there, I was wondering if the ship charged you for a visa. Sometimes in some ports like in Epypt last year we did not need a visa nor did the ship charge us for one. but some passengers paid for a visa on their own before they left for the cruise. I was thinking of getting my own Papua New Guinea visa before the cruise. Did the ship charge you for one and how much money was it. Thanks, Mary

Alas, Canadians can’t get the AARP gift cards, even if we are a member of AARP.

Yes, but you usually get a percentage off if pre-purchased I’ve received as much as 20% off pre cruise, for those discounts services are on a port day. I choose a day where we arrived late into port so go in the morning, or if a short port day like 3:00 pm all aboard, will choose that day and go in early evening.
