DutchByAssociation Posted December 3, 2010 Author #1926 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I requested one from the front desk. I was told that I should store my medications in the medical center on the first deck and complimentary refrigerators are not available for medication. Correct. Also important to note is that they do not necessarily get as cold as some medications need which could be an issue. Also, in the event of some sort of major power outage those fridges in the medical center are connected to the emergency power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchByAssociation Posted December 3, 2010 Author #1927 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Her name is Diane and she travelled with her husband and her son, Michael, both disabled. Diane said that when she checked in on line there was a place for "special requests" like dietary choices, etc. and refrigerator was there. I don't think I misunderstood her, but maybe I did. When I saw her I told her the desk said complimentary refrigerators are not available for medication and that I had to take my medicines to the medical department. She said they were absolutely wrong and she had a refrigerator and got it by requesting it online. I believe that is the case if you make your actual booking online. That is covered in the "booking flow" but it is not something connected with the online check in process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted December 7, 2010 #1928 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The ones that are in the rooms permanently are 220v... the ones brought in by request for the $2/day I'm not 100% sure but would imagine the same.I would be logical that they wouldn't have two different kinds. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Suzin Posted December 7, 2010 #1929 Share Posted December 7, 2010 DBA..About two months ago I redid my booking from a VD to a VH guarantee at a substantial savings..very happy with that. The condition was I had to pay everything at the time of booking, no big deal my final payment was due in a few days anyway..So the whole thing was paid, but when I received the invoice it stated under Payment Schedule the amount of the total Cruise - NOT PAID - Balance due $0.00. When I phoned my PVP..he said that it was a glitch in the system..I really would like an invoice that shows I have paid in full.my credit card has been charge a few months ago...has this glitch been experienced by others, and can I get an invoice that shows the entire cruise for both of us has been paid.?

antoniusp Posted December 31, 2010 #1935 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hullo, Just some advice please. DW and I are booked into cabin I8033 on the Nieuw Amsterdam(Navigtion deck). I see it is a wheelchair designated cabin. We do not require such a facility. My concern is what cabin will we be re-allocated to if this particular cabin is required? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsipes Posted December 31, 2010 #1936 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Am taking my grand children on a Alaska Cruise, Seattle to Seattle. Will the kids need a pass port. All are US Citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchByAssociation Posted December 31, 2010 Author #1937 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Am taking my grand children on a Alaska Cruise, Seattle to Seattle. Will the kids need a pass port. All are US Citizens. It's a closed loop sailing, so they are not REQUIRED but may just be easier. Otherwise they'll need an original or certified copy of their gov't issued birth certificate and (you may want to check through reservations to make sure I'm still accurate here) a state issued photo ID for anyone over the age of 14* *State ID's are actually a good idea for any kids that are at the age where they are using a wallet and/or if you've helped them open a bank account. Several years ago when I was still in reservations the age to also have an ID was 14... that may have changed though. Also keep in mind that if you aren't the legal guardian of your grandkids you'll need signed and notarized consent forms from the parents if they are not going.

Many thanks Hi there, I guess I'm uncertain why you're booked into that room if it is not required... but to answer your question: If you need to be moved out of that specific room, it would be treated like a guarantee booking. You will get AT LEAST the category you paid for, if not higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeriatricNurse Posted January 17, 2011 #1950 Share Posted January 17, 2011 DBA, what was the purpose of the "Pirate Ship Bar" being constructed in the middle of the beach on HMC, (with someone dressed as "Captain Morgan" walking around inside), while everyone, (including those enjoying their nearby cabanas), are being serenaded by the HALCats?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
