Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Nice sail away. I also saw her coming in. Next Sunday it will be me waving. I love this ship.
  2. Thank you for your review and pictures. I will be on the NA on Dec 4 for 2 weeks. Hopefully, my experience will be as good as yours. This is my first cruise since Dec 2019 (also on the NA) and I am really looking forward to it.
  3. We also celebrated this day when I was growing up in Poland. I will be on the NA on December 5, and I hope that HAL will mark this day in some way.๐ŸŽ…
  4. Any drink with alcohol is my favourite drink. ๐Ÿ˜ I love drinks that are sugary and fruity. I especially love the various martinis that are prepared by the Crows Nest bartenders. All you have to do is describe the flavour of the martini you want, and they come up with a delicious drink. I rarely drink at home or at restaurants but I make up for it on a cruise. ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿท
  5. I think the big ugly orange thing backed into its spot this morning. I'm watching football while keeping one eye on the laptop. I'm starting to get excited about my Dec 4 NA cruise so that means watching the sailaways. Enjoy your cruise.
  6. I saw all the ships come in this morning and I am determined to see them all sail away tonight. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  7. I also like the Eurodam. I have tried one of the Pinnacle ships but keep coming back to these ships as I love the "real" Promenade Deck. I've spent many late afternoons on the deck chair reading and/or sleeping.
  8. Same with me. I am so looking forward to relaxing for 14 days on my favourite HAL ship. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  9. When their dog retires, some of the owners keep the dogs as family pets. I have also read about K-9 police officers and airport K-9 custom officers also adopting the dogs when they retire.
  10. If HAL had an award for the best-behaved guests, the service dogs for the visually impaired would win every time.๐Ÿฆฎ
  11. Thank you for your suggestion. I have never purchased the HIA before and have some other questions. I will call HAL next week.
  12. I'll be happy to see the NA as I haven't been on her since December 2019. I am booked on the NA for 2 weeks on December 4.
  13. If you buy the HIA online, can it be cancelled before the cruise? Thank you.
  14. I cruise solo and, unfortunately, am on a fairly tight budget because the fares are always double. For many years, I have dealt with a TA at a "cruise only" travel agency. When I finally discovered Cruise Critic, I learned about "upsells", which the TA never forwarded to me. When I asked that they be forwarded to me, I wouldn't get them in a timely manner and missed out on some good ones. I then switched to a PCC with mixed results. The first PCC was very good but she left HAL and I am now dealing with someone who sounds very new and doesn't return my emails or calls in for at least 2 to 3 days. Is that a reasonable time? I think I will try to book my next cruise without a PCC.
