Charlies Aunt Posted December 10, 2020 #527 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Dear Bill and Mary Ann Glad to hear you are both well and wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to book the South Pacific in 2022 (fingers tightly crossed). I will miss you greatly in the New Year as your posts always managed to lift a gloomy January in the UK. Wishing you both a happy HEALTHY New Year. Stay Safe Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WCB Posted December 11, 2020 Author #529 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Greetings, once again, to our fellow readers and GWV buddies! Thank you so much for the kind comments, as it gives us a special thrill knowing the blog is being read is so many corners of the world. We will sorely miss being on the world cruise, but look forward to the trip in January 2022. And if things go right with the vaccine, we do hope to see some of Alaska in the fall of 2021. By the way, we forgot to mention a rather important incident that occurred with our luggage that was to be sent back home. We had four pieces of luggage that were to be shipped free, and three extra with charges applied. We had carefully filled out the forms given to us onboard the Amsterdam prior to exiting the ship, authorizing payment for the extra bags along with some insurance coverage on all seven. However, when we eventually got a copy of our shipboard account, we discovered that $500 had been added for the four "free" bags. If we had not had the sense to go over that statement, we might have been out the $500. We don't believe we were alone with that mistake, since an employee at HAL admitted this happened to many folks on decks one and two. We certainly hope that this was rectified with everyone involved, because during this period of time after we got home, everything was so confusing between insurances and getting it all straight, let alone getting used to long lines at stores and all of the shortages (TP, bleach, even hamburger). After a long conversation with HAL, they did refund that amount.....eventually. So the lesson learned was check everything and never assume thy got it right. Happy Holidays to all! Bill & Mary Ann 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted December 11, 2020 #530 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Aloha Bill and Mary Ann, Thank you for the final report. I am disappointed not to be looking forward to your 2021 WC reports but am happy to hear that you are planning on 2022. After years of reading your WC reports I hope that one day we will be able to do all or segments of a WC. Wishing you a Happy Holiday and a Very Happy 2021!!!!
