esquire20 Posted March 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi Guys, I am first time HAL cruiser, I am scheduled to sail 3-13-11 Western Caribbean, on the Nieuw Amsterdam, I originally booked a large inside J, a flash promotion came and I was given a VH GTY at no extra cost, Today my TA informed me that I was given cabin 8151 on the the Navigation deck toward the Stern, is this a good cabin? Thanks for all your posts, I will repay, with an extensive review upon my return. Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp556 Posted March 1, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2011 From a J to a VH to a VA .... yup, I'd say that was pretty darn good! Congratulations and enjoy!! We'll be aboard Nieuw Amsterdam in a bit over seven weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted March 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2011 That is a great upgrade, but don't expect it again. ;) It's good to be a first time cruiser on any line, but that's the only time we ever got a good upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjcox9 Posted March 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Enjoy it this time, as you'll most likely not see it again. Perhaps we all just need to keep changing cruise lines each time we cruise as that was also when my best upgrades occurred on HAL, Princess and others. Oh well, loyalty isn't all it's cracked up to be I guess. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with us, got one on our first trip with HAL, none since. Enjoy, that is a great upgrade. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissMyst Posted March 1, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think you will love being just one flight up to the Lido deck - no waiting for elevators and even though you will love your verandah too, it is fun to also be that close to the great outdoors ....... and the powder sugar donuts at breakfast! Very nice upgrade. You should have a fantastic time on what all reports claim is a gorgeous ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

startwin Posted March 1, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2011 That's a fantastic upgrade. I've been offered similar as an upsell so paid a small difference, but never have gotten a free upgrade anywhere near as good as that! Enjoy your cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboro Posted March 1, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2011 We also got upgraded from a VF verandah Guarantee to a V on Navigation Deck for the same cruise. And we had 4 traveling parties to get the same upgrade. We are pleased!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
