Hygge!

We always tip extra.

Easy! Just completed last night entering the Covid test. Sailing today!!!

I have followed your postings since the beginning. Thank you for your time, your thoughts and your pictures. So happy that Arlona is feeling better. What wonderful memories you have! Safe travels home.

The chairs are reserved and we never had an issue with people sitting in them. Krystal - I checked it out one time in different lighting and couldn’t see in UNLESS I put my face to the glass slider. If privacy is what you are looking for and not social then don’t book a lanai. If having the ability to get to all sides of the ship when cruising then it’s convenient. Another convenience is that you have a large overhang for shade which we like and protection from rain - as long as it isn’t blowing. Negative - they take the cushions us early evening. I caught onto that and started storing them in our room by the door. Also, negative - they do close off parts of the lanai for maintenance on various parts of the deck and during tendering (if you happen to be located by the tender boat). But those few negatives didn’t outweigh the many positives.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE lanai cabins. No issues at night either - which some complain about. We feel like it is a larger balcony!! Don’t mind that it isn’t private but so very convenient to just walk out and start the trek around. Plus it is a nice way to meet people. We have had lanai cabins on different ships the latest being the Amsterdam on the 2020 world cruise. I wish HAL would continue building ships with them.

Also curious. We have a B2B2B in October starting in Vancouver. I’m hoping that rules will change.

limit is per month not per day with AARP - I bought $2500 - paid $2250.

U are not alone on this. I spoke with these folks everyday. The coding on their authentication is screwy. I asked to speak to a manager and they said there isn’t anyone to speak to. I feel for these employees! The company should never be used again by HAL. Thank goodness they are now issuing in $200 denominations for the bonus cards but I’m finished at this point. Have sent a spreadsheet with all card numbers, PIN numbers, amounts and where to use them to my TA. I feel for her also!!! Wish I could do this tedious work for her. I think I will use AARP from now on since their bonus cards don’t expire and I didn’t have any issue with “authentication” with them.
