  1. Thanks everyone for all the info. I assume I can also send out stuff just for pressing? Looking forward to my first cruise as a 4 star.
  2. That is what i figured but just wanted to be sure. Is the laundry unlimited? Thanks
  3. I will be 4 star for the first time on my upcoming Aug cruise. What is the procedure to get laundry or pressing done under the 4 star benefit?
  4. Do you know the name of the piano player?
  5. I guess us older android users are SOL. I get an error when I try to login with the version I have and when I search Navigator on google play is says "this app will not work on this device"
  6. you can buy the side plates in the dining room now, but because it is a "dining room purchase" they add an 18% gratuity to them.
  7. I've done that, still nothing.
  8. Thanks everyone. I've had gtys before but they've always been assigned around the 2 weeks out mark. I feel better now 😊
  9. What is the latest you've been assigned a gty cabin? Sailing on Sat, gty OC, no cabin assignment yet, cruise is sold out. Should I be worried? Lois
  10. It has doubled on every cruise that I have had the HIA on.
  11. Beef tartare should be chopped but on the last couple of HAL cruises we've been on. my DH ordered it the steak house and it was definitely ground. The texture was really off putting.
  12. My favourite is Another shade of greyhound. - vodka, grapefruit juice and St Germain.
  13. I got my new room number right away. They did end up sending me a new confirmation with the updated experience. Thanks
  14. mods, this got posted twice, please delete one.
  15. I am on the Splendida on May 20. I had a fantastica balcony. I bid on a Aurea balcony because I wanted anytime dining. It was my understanding that if you paid for an upgrade, either directly or through a bid, you would get the benefits of the upgraded experience. My bid was accepted but my new confirmation still says fantastica experience. Does anyone know if I will get the anytime dining as well as the other perks that go with aurea experience? Thanks Lois

  17. I've only started cruising HAL post pandemic but I've never seen the entertainment play after 11 pm on a HAL ship.
  18. Does anyone know who the piano players are on the New Amsterdam now? Thanks Lois
  19. I had seen the umbrella so wasn't sure about the chairs. I've never been on a private island where you had to pay for umbrellas, just clamshells and cabanas.
  20. Do you have to pay for lounge chairs on the private island?
  21. MSC is Italian owned.
  22. Use the MPC app for US customs/immigration. It is like arrivecan for the US and has a designated line in YUL and YYZ it is much quicker than the regular line.
  23. On the Oosterdam right now. It is 9:20 pm and there is no live music anywhere on the ship. There is the orange party with dj on the pool deck and that is it. Hal needs to do better. Lois
