GeriatricNurse Posted October 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Related to the (four) "new" HAL luggage tags on which are pictured four different decorative pics of old HAL posters; I just received an e-mail from HAL, which reads, in part: "the current promotion with the luggage tags is for sailing from October 2010 - December 2010 for selected Mariners" Of course, for one to (possibly) receive these luggage tags, one must be on the mailing list to receive (surface) mail from HAL, (including "Mariner" magazine)! As an aside, one might wish to check the page, "My Preferences" after having logged in to their account on the HAL website! On this page, one should ensure that the preference to receive "mail" has been indicated, (otherwise, one will NOT receive "Mariner" magazine!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 12, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Seeing we have two cruises booked for that time schedule, I'll keep hoping we get some tags. I REALLY like them a lot and hope we find some in our mailbox. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planobob Posted October 12, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Spoke with Seattle yesterday afternoon and from what I was told tags were mailed on Oct 1 and I should have mine by the 15th. Looking forward to using them on my Oct 22nd Maasdam cruise! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted October 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I guess that means I won't be getting any as I don't have any more cruises booked this calendar year... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazey1 Posted October 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I guess that means I won't be getting any as I don't have any more cruises booked this calendar year...:( We just got them and our next booked cruise isn't until March 2011. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted October 12, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Seems like another occurence of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing in Seattle. Just tell whoever is on the phone anything to get rid of them while they are happy. Conflict avoidance at its best! Thank God the ships are not run by the Seattle people! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin7 Posted October 12, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I just got them, and we haven't cruised HAL since Fall 2008. Go figure. I'll probably never use them. I would be happy to mail them to someone, but I don't know how I'd get your address. Any ideas? Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annierie Posted October 12, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I guess that means I won't be getting any as I don't have any more cruises booked this calendar year...:( Well, that's interesting. I went out to get my mail today and there is a Mariner magazine with luggage tags. My next HAL cruise is ??????????? ... like maybe when they do away with formal nights ;) My last HAL cruise was in 2001. Maybe I should sell them here to the highest bidder?

kjw869 Posted October 12, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2010 We received the magazine and luggage tags today. Our last cruise was in May of this year, and our next cruises are January and May 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted October 12, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Received the Mariner magazine with the tags -- perfect timing: we fly to Rome Thursday evening to pick up Noordam for her Oct. 18 sailing to Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduffys Posted October 12, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Received ours today. Sail Jan. 2. They really are nice!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted October 12, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I received mine with the magazine today. I last cruised HAL in May on the first voyage of the Amsterdam into Anchorage. I have not booked another HAL cruise yet. While the luggage tags are very nice, I plan on keeping mine sealed and intact as a curio for my maritime collection. The luggage tags I have 'won' on board playing trivia, are a more substantial type, and they remain on all my luggage.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRL_Joanie Posted October 12, 2010 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I will keep checking the mail. If I get them and the Magazine I will be happy. If not, Monday I will call the Mariner number. I still have 45 days to get em:D Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casamariposa Posted October 12, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I received mine today, and they are nostalgic and classy. I was on the Maasdam this past Spring and am booked on the Rotterdam next April. I will definitely use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted October 12, 2010 #18 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My cruise is next week, in a Deluxe Verandah of all things, no mariner magazine, no luggage tags and yes, my preferences are right. Maybe Canadians are exempt? Oh well, I'm still going on my cruise:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellebaby Posted October 12, 2010 #19 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Received ours today. Really like them. :D We are booked on the Noordam in October, 2011.... Who knows, maybe we'll find something earlier? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arzz Posted October 13, 2010 #22 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ours were in the mail today. What a nice gift! I really like the old posters but am even more impressed with how well these tags solve the self printed paper luggage tag problem. Last time we cruised I laminated the paper tags with clear packing tape -- this is oh so much better. HAL, if you are reading this, great job!

Tricia724 Posted October 13, 2010 #24 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Got mine today, too, and I'm really pleased with the way they are designed. We don't have anything booked for the future yet, but we just disembarked Statendam three weeks ago. Before we left on our cruise, I spent a couple of hours with some card stock, rubber cement, and string to make some decent luggage tags. The new ones I received from HAL will make it so much easier. I was surprised to get the luggage tags because I've never received my new 3-star Mariner pin, either by mail or on the ship, and I figured we were at the bottom of the list. I guess HAL has so many Mariners that they just can't get everything to everyone quickly. I think I'd rather have the luggage tags than the pin, though, because they will be more useful to me.
