AVNode Posted August 22, 2017 #2453 Share Posted August 22, 2017 We just returned from a wonderful 21 day cruise and I have a question...does anyone know the brand and type of towel Holland America uses? (Koningsdam balcony room but not a suite, if that matters). They were wonderful. I've always thought my towels at home were fine, until I used the HA ones. I do see that HA sells "their" towels on a website, but I'm thinking if I knew the brand and type, I could buy them cheaper elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKTHOR Posted August 24, 2017 #2456 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I am so excited to be on this board! Thanks for all the info. We will be going on our first cruise ever to Alaska in 2018. We got the explor 4 deal included, but we don't drink. In addition, we have 2 cabins booked, and each one will have an adult and a teen. So, how do we get the most out of the signature beverage package? What will they do about the fact that 2 of the 4 of us are under 21? Thanks Forgot to mention, we did this through Costco. I think they messed up. because we got the package included for no extra cost. Checked HAL and the rooms were more expensive. Now when I go back on Costco, they are more expensive as well. I think they forgot to mark them up the day I booked!! Edited August 24, 2017 by JKTHOR Added more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuAnn Posted August 24, 2017 #2457 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Question re stockholders benefit" We are sailing on HAL for a holiday cruise after a period of some absence...last sailed HAL in fall '14. When I called to verify the fax # and info needed to submit for the OBC I was told that the stock must have been purchased in the 6 months prior to today's phone call. Is this something new? I thought you had to own stock at the time of submitting your request, which is not to be prior to 90 days before sail date? Am I missing something?

LuAnn As happens all too frequently when you call Seattle, the information you were given is incorrect, and you are much closer to correct. Yes, you need to own the CCL stock when you apply for the credit, and you are supposed to continue to own it when you sail. You can submit verification as soon as HAL is accepting requests for the OBC for your sailing date. I believe they are accepting through next June as of now, but could be off on that date. This is the current fax number: 206-270-6080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wants to cruise Posted August 25, 2017 #2460 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi all, 1st time cruiser on HAL. Doing the Grand Asia in Oct on the Amsterdam. One of the bennies we received was 300 minutes per person of internet. Do they issue one sign-on per person or one sign-on per cabin? Searched the HAL board and found lots of info on prices and speed but little info on whether both my wife and I can be on at the same time. Thx in advance!

Sent from my iPad using Forums Not sure I can answer that for certain. I think it was a Vista suite, early booking, pay early or some combination of all of those that got me the time; along with some other things in the package.

gayle01 Posted August 26, 2017 #2467 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi Iv'e read all the pages on this thread but can't remember if I came across any information regarding tenders. I've tried searching too but can't find an answer to my question. I notice that Bar Harbor is a tender port and we are looking at booking a tour not organised by the ship (Zuiderdam). Our arrival time in port is 7am and we would need to be on the tender pier at 9am. Would we be likely to encounter any problems with this schedule? What is the disembarkation procedure on Zuiderdam? Thanks Gayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gayle Are you coming from Canada or Boston? A Canadian port just before will mean immigration procedures before any one can disembark and HAL tours usually have preference.

A Canadian port just before will mean immigration procedures before any one can disembark and HAL tours usually have preference. I suspected as much. We will be in Halifax the day before. It's Oli's Trollys at 9:30am we are considering. Do you think we might be delayed enough to miss it? They do the same tour every day at the same time.

retired arizona Posted August 28, 2017 #2475 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have a liquor package question. This our first time on HAL and our first time to consider purchasing a liquor package. We're looking at pre-buying the $45 package - they have just updated the cost of drinks covered to $9 each. Question, will this cover the majority of drinks ( alcohol & fancy coffees) Don't want to purchase and then find out the drinks we like are not covered. Did see a drink menu posted and it looked like the majority would be covered but don't know what date the menu was from. We could wait and buy on board but the package is $5.00 more per day x 16 days x 2 people so extra $180. thanks for any help that will help me make my decision. Don't usually drink 15 drinks a day but would like to not think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
