GeriatricNurse Posted September 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Less than one week ago, I emailed HAL asking when the 2010 HAL Mariner Tiles would be uploaded onto the HAL website. Today, I received the following e-mail from a staff of the Mariner Society, which reads, in part: "Thank you for your recent correspondence with Holland America Line and for bringing this to our attention. The 2010 Mariner tiles can now be view(ed) on our website www.hollandamerica under Mariner Society Rewards Program>Tiles. We apologize for the day" Did no one else notice that the 2010 Mariner Tiles, (after nine months into 2010), had not yet been uploaded onto the HAL website?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I had checked a couple of months -- saif to myself -- typical -- not updated. Then a couple of weeks ago someone asked what the new tiles looked like -- no one had seen any on a ship or anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Roz Posted September 28, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2010 We didn't get tiles on our recent 4-day PNW cruise. I was disappointed, as I thought the tile would be a nice souvenir for my sister. It was her first HAL cruise. Guess they're not given on cruises that are less than 7 days long.

Roz I think a couple of other people have mentioned that they did not get any tiles on their 3 and 4 day cruises. Maybe someone will chime in here with an answer.

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 28, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I also like that Circa 1890 tile. Hope we get those!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnObie Posted September 28, 2010 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Click here, then click on the word Tiles on left side where several choices are shown.

Big Dawg CC Posted September 28, 2010 #12 Share Posted September 28, 2010 We were told on our July 2010 Nieuw Amsterdam cruise that you now have to go to the Mariner's Society luncheon to get the tiles. It use to be that they would leave them in your cabin if you did not attend. Perhaps that is why some are not gettign their tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 28, 2010 #13 Share Posted September 28, 2010 We didn't attend one of the luncheons -- we just asked for the tiles to be delivered to our cabin. And they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It use to be that they would leave them in your cabin if you did not attend. Perhaps that is why some are not gettign their tiles? I believe that's what you were told. I don't believe that's the procedure. And I absolutely believe that the procedure varies from ship to ship. I was on the Amsterdam in August. I did not go to the Mariners' Brunch (although I did go to the reception), and my tile was left in my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcd2010 Posted September 28, 2010 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2010 When we cruised in January/February, we got 2009 tiles - can we get 2010 tiles now that they're available? I don't mean can we buy them - I mean can we ask for them, i.e., replace the "wrong" ones with the correct ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted September 29, 2010 #16 Share Posted September 29, 2010 We got only one at Mariners lunch in August on Amsterdam. They only gave one per couple at the lunch. After checking w this board several people said it is one per mariner, so I emailed HAL and got one in mail within a few days. ~TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted September 29, 2010 #17 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The fourth tile in the 2010 series, circa 1950, is the same one that was offered briefly in 2008 and quickly retired. Deja vu all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 29, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That fourth tile -- Circa 1950 -- in 2008 we did 3 back-to-back cruises -- didn't get that tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it was around very long at all ... and was quickly replaced with the funnel tile shown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 29, 2010 #21 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Don't think it was around very long at all ... and was quickly replaced with the funnel tile shown here. We have a punch of that one!! Wasn't impressive -- JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksc1984 Posted September 30, 2010 #22 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ours were delivered to our cabin on one of the last nights of our Alaskan cruise on the Amsterdam in June. It was a Mariner Society cruise, so those were the tiles we received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone will chime in here with an answer. In case no one else has mentioned it, HAL does NOT give tiles to their first time cruisers. It starts with your second cruise with them.

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 1, 2010 #24 Share Posted October 1, 2010 That many of us know. There are a lot of people who like the 3 and 4 day Coastal cruises -- do they get tiles. I would never spend hundreds -- thousands hot air and hotels to do a 3 or 4 day cruise. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeriatricNurse Posted October 1, 2010 Author #25 Share Posted October 1, 2010 In case no one else has mentioned it, HAL does NOT give tiles to their first time cruisers. It starts with your second cruise with them. I beg to differ! DW & I DID receive tiles on our FIRST cruise, (because we asked if we could have them & we received TWO)!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
