hmatt Posted June 27 #1 Share Posted June 27 Believe this is called a legendary cruise, didn’t realize it is basically backtoback cruise, with turnaround in Tokyo after nineteen days. We are 14 points away from 4 stars, anyone know if the second part of cruise we will be able to get the 4 stars? Free laundry will be so nice! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriah Posted June 27 #2 Share Posted June 27 Hmmm... Maybe, but more likely it would only happen if you booked the b2b as two separate cruises rather than the one cruise. I'll be following to see if others have had a similar situation and their status has changed mid-cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted June 27 #3 Share Posted June 27 Would not say "for sure" because these days HAL can change any rule any day at any time. But, normally, if you are booked under a single reservation (i.e. cruise number) you will not get upgraded during the voyage. The one exception has been on "Grand Cruises" when upgrades were granted between segments. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I think it was just recently released as a 2 part cruise; maybe trying to fill the ship. If you only need 14 days to get to laundry "nirvana" (Yay!), and you book this whole thing as 2 cruises, you should get it. Linda R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted June 28 #6 Share Posted June 28 We are 15 points from 5 star. The Mariner Society replied to my email question that I could request 10 days into our 53 day Majestic Japan Cruise to the front desk to request to bump our star. Normally, they don't bump us til after the cruise. Will see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_Dieterich Posted June 28 #7 Share Posted June 28 from the web site "For all cruises except Grand Voyages, your elevated benefits will take effect on your next Holland America Line cruise. If you cross a star level threshold while on board a Grand Voyage (based on days sailed), you will be upgraded to your new star level for the remainder of that voyage." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted June 28 #8 Share Posted June 28 (edited) Tell the front desk when you get on the ship .. it does not cost money to ask with a smile . Edited June 28 by Gail & Marty sailing away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct But this Voyage 53 day is not a Grand Voyage .😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmatt Posted June 28 Author #10 Share Posted June 28 Thanks everyone, we will go to front desk the next day, usually embarkation day is a madhouse.May get it or not, Holland does laundry the best out of all the cruise lines we have been on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted June 28 #11 Share Posted June 28 Here was the reply from my question: Thank you for your recent correspondence with Holland America Line. Unfortunately, this voyage would not automatically qualify for the change in Mariner Status to be honored onboard. Only World Cruises and Grand Voyages have this in place. With that being said, you can speak with Guest Services (Front Desk) onboard regarding this once you have been onboard for 15+ days. They can send us a request to have your Mariner Status honored for the duration of the voyage. These requests are reviewed on a Case-by-Case basis, so we cannot provide an answer for you at this time. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or visit us online at www.hollandamerica.com. We thank you for your continued patronage!
