I just looked at my account (another poster said they couldn't find out where they can pay tips) and I show a $1197 Credit on our account! I do not know where it came from but will research it to make sure it really is a credit! HAL Cruise Accounting has a habit of taking whatever FCC's and OBC's you might have and sticking them on a booking of their choice. It doesn't matter what we want. I have had this happen many times over the last 18 months. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still waiting for mine from my canceled Holiday Zaandam cruise and final payment is coming soon for our October cruise. I might have to apply it to the December Rotterdam instead. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time he gave us a $10,000 credit on board, but then a few days later he took it away again.. Good morning, all, everyone was up much earlier than I am, it seems. Happy British Columbia Day! I'm never sure if it's August 1st which is the holiday or the first Monday in August? We had the flag out both days. We did cruise the Dardanelles once, can't find my photos. If we took any.... We had some of the neighbours in yesterday. Leftovers today for lunch. All my grape tomatoes have suddenly ripened together and there is a big bowl of them, DD is going to make a roasted chicken and tomatoes and mozzarella dish this evening. I think Caprese is somewhere in its name. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Thom had his desk on the port side in the atrium area and Tina had her desk on the starboard side. Hopefully the two of them got twice as much work done! 😁 I believe they did 🙂. They were immensely popular and people were always booking with them. I don’t remember ever seeing them without a passenger in front of them. Two very successful FCC’s that knew the ship’s itineraries well. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted August 2, 2021 #105 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good morning and thanks all! We’ve cruised the Dardanelles twice but it has been awhile, so enjoying those photos! We are lucky to have a lot of dinosaur finds near us, And the wonderful Royal Tyrell museum. My son knew all the names at age three, kids have such a fascination with these extinct creatures. The photo is from Drumheller where the museum is. Funny story, we were using a map in Germany to visit a starred site only to find when we got there that it was a dinosaur pit🤷♀️ 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the Daily Rich and thank you for your lists Roy. With cruises starting up CC is much busier. @Crazy For Cats I love your pictures and thank you for taking the time to share them. Enjoy your cruise! DGS loves dinosaurs and has an over abundance of them big and small. Both grandchildren never were into coloring books but DGD has turned into quite an artist. Yesterday we had family over for her 14th birthday which is Wednesday. It was lots of fun and she got a phone from her DD. I had her take our picture together. I’ll pass on the meal suggestion. I like ground beef Sloppy Joe’s. I’ve heard of a lentil version too. We haven’t been to today’s port and all the pictures are great. @cat shepard I’m going back to Wednesday to read your reports, I missed a day somewhere. Our cruise is in 25 days! I have so much to do, yikes. Have a great day everyone! Nice photo of you both. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HAL rep is blindfolded and then throws a dart at a board customized to show all the cruises you are booked on. When the FCC or OBC are lost, it is because the rep totally missed the board.

Rare Crazy For Cats Posted August 2, 2021 #116 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good Morning, last night’s Pinnacle dinner was the free one for booking. It appeared as a zero charge on the account, no gratuity added. I saw HAL face masks this morning on the deck sale. They are only available in white with blue logo. The blue with white logo are for crew only. I’d prefer the blue so didn’t inquire about pricing. I did not see them in the shops. IMHO HAL is sending mixed messages at the coffee, water area. In the morning you must be served. Yesterday after lunch you could serve yourself. When we went past at 9 this morning you could serve yourself again. last night’s show was Humanity by One Step Dance. The dancers were excellent and the show was well done. We had seen this show BC so was a bit disappointed. Today we are heading to Tracy Arm Fjord. It’s a 7 hour tour so There will be little to no shopping in Juneau. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBGuy Posted August 2, 2021 #120 Share Posted August 2, 2021 5 hours ago, cat shepard said: Winemaker Notes Danzante wines are the third collaboration created by the joint venture between the Robert Mondavi family of Napa Valley and the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi family of Tuscany, Italy. Danzante, Italian for "dancing," encourages the everyday, energetic celebration of la dolce vita. The Mondavi -- Frescobaldi partnership was formed in 1995 in part because Robert Mondavi's family wanted to return to their Italian roots. This was the first joint venture in Italy between two internationally distinguished wine producers using their combined resources and winemaking expertise to create Italian wine of superior quality and elegance. Danzante was introduced in 1999 with the 1997 vintage of Danzante Sangiovese and the 1998 vintage of Danzante Pinot Grigio. I did not know this. Thank you, very much. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said he was starting a new business, but came along to help entertain family who were on board. They usually won the yearly contest among FCCs as the ones with the most sales.
