BON VOYAGE!!! Enjoy your cruise!!

Terry I agree they definitely were not on the tags for Koningsdam last November. Now I am wondering if it is just certain embarkation/disembarkation ports.

Go to the bottom of the rewards page and click on See More Rewards, HAL and Princess are at the bottom of the second page, they are kind of hidden.

Have you added post cruise transfers in that time period? Just trying to narrow this down lol

That is the stuff I absolutely hate and was what they gave out on the Nieuw Statendam, hopefully they have gotten rid of that stuff fleet wide.

That is too bad about Wycliff giving you a headache, I have problems with some wines and occasionally with sparkling wines although not as often. My tongue starts to tingle, then the inside of my mouth does if I do not stop, then my tongue starts to swell up. It's been a while since I let that happen. I can usually tell within 3 sips if I am going to have a problem. Wycliff has been one of those rare finds for me that does not bother me at all. We actually discovered it over 20 years ago and had it shipped to us and would often bring it on board the ships back in the day the HAL did not have a limit on bottles of wine.

No, pretty sure not because I do not have Club Orange for my August cruise and neither does a friend traveling with us but she also has that on hers. I am wondering if by chance it is because we have Post Transfers by HAL?? I know that on my old luggage tag I found it on I did have a post cruise transfer to airport, I also have one this time. My friend who did not have it on her last cruise but she also did not have a post cruise transfer but the the previous cruises she had that this was on the luggage tag she did have a post cruise transfer. Right now that seems to be the common denominator.

We love Wycliff and was so thrilled when they switched over to it we discovered they had it last September on the Westerdam Alaska, then we had it again on the Koningsdam Pacific Coastal, then got to the Nieuw Statendam in December to find they still had that terrible stuff they had for years prior to Wycliff and their bar staff had never heard of Wycliff or so they said.. Looking at the menus for Westerdam, granted they are just arriving from Japan and have not hit Seattle yet but it is showing they are serving in the MDR for Breakfast Domaine Ste Michelle Brut. Unknown if that might have replaced Wycliff, possibly not. Most definitely hoping Wycliff will be the House Sparkling for at least the Alaska Season .

Possibly, but I think most take it off or atleast I always have, mostly due to having them in plastic sleeves that I want to save for the next cruise. It actually is quite funny that after many HAL cruises I just noticed this and thought it totally strange to leave it on for disembarkation, especially when they give us tags to put on our luggage specifically for disembarkation.

Oh my, I just tried it and look what I saw. First time I have seen in weeks 😁

I was thinking it was there previously so went digging into some cruise stuff. I usually throw away luggage tags but found some. Ironically it was the sailing from the Nieuw Amsterdam very first sailing after the shut down 07/24/2021 and sure enough one side of the luggage tag does have for phone and email. LOL I have never filled that out. And sure enough it does state in Bold Letters THIS IS ALSO YOUR DISEMBARKATION TAG. PLEASE KEEP ATTACHED I have never once kept the luggage tags on for Disembarkation nor do you need to. So basically Never Mind 😂 I guess I was being blonde again

Unfortunately I have never found a good way to do this. I just make sure that when dining with another reservation they go in and book their reservation for the same time and date, then as soon as I get on board the ship I let the restaurant know that the two or three reservations/ stateroom numbers are dining together. Usually all they want is stateroom numbers. We have never had a problem doing that, even if someone in the group could not get the same dining time.

The other thing we just noticed is they are not putting on the Star Status, our should be 5 Star and there is nothing showing that on the luggage tags.

I was helping someone out today that had never cruised HAL before so was walking them through the on-line check in so figured why not complete my August cruise while I am in there. I knew I was probably not going to get a move up to Neptune offer so figured I would print our luggage tags. I have never seen that on one side it had lines to put in a phone number and email address. Then the other thing I have not seen before or at least remember seeing... It states in BOLD letter. THIS IS ALSO YOUR DISEMBARKATION TAG. PLEASE KEEP ATTACHED.

Well you are further out than us, maybe they are updating by ship. I shows my app has updated recently so unsure why I cannot see menus yet for our August Westerdam.
