Storylady Posted March 28, 2013 #27 Share Posted March 28, 2013 We also received our five star pins a couple of days ago. Had the benefit of being five star on our recent cruise on the Zaandam. Al and I attended the hands on cooking class, received aprons, drank plenty of wine and had a fantastic meal in the Pinnacle Grill with eight other five star mariners. We posted photos of our experience on the Holland America Blog. Congratulations to all Five Star Mariners!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted March 28, 2013 #28 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Congratulations on your five star pin. I'm sure that you are very pleased with it. My DH is fond of saying that the medallions and pins are the most expensive pieces of jewelry that I own. Now on to the invitation only status.

GrammyPL Posted March 28, 2013 #31 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sail7seas - We also got our 5 star pins yesterday. I like the look of them. It is about time. We just came back from a cruise and got the 5 star stuff. What was nice was the 2 dinners each at the Piniccle. Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially interested in your cooking class: you did a great job describing it and the photos were helpful! Now I know what to expect and can tell my hubbie what HE can expect!

Congratulations on your pins! Thanks! My husband was the only one who did the hands on cooking. The other husbands sat out the cooking session drinking wine. But Al is used to chopping food for me!

But Al is used to chopping food for me! Let me tell you, I was surprised when my hubbie said he would come along and take the cooking class. If I told him he could sit around and drink the wine, it might be another story! He won't go to the spa, however! Looking forward to your next cruise and your posts on the HALBlog.

mamaofami Posted March 29, 2013 #40 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Congratulations Judy, and to all the others who received their 5 star pin. We're working our way up to 4 star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 29, 2013 #41 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Congratulations Judy, and any others from one who has a long way to go. Looking forward to 3* on the Veendam although it may not be a big bonus. The biggest advantage seems to be the custom air. Probably good for one who does oddball combinations even though I usually avoid flying, Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted March 29, 2013 Author #50 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Actually, our Platinum Medallion trumps the Five Star. Platinum is 700 actual days not including bonus days. Five Star is 500 days and does include bonus spending and suite days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
