I don’t need to confirm that. It doesn’t matter. It’s still punishing the staff, the wrong people and us messed up and selfish. Take it out on the people who caused the issue. An “increased hotel charge” isn’t the same at all. It would be more like not tipping servers or bartenders at the hotel because the hotel manager moved you to a room you dislike. you don’t have to agree with me, I don’t expect everyone to. But you are trying to justify what is blatantly punishing staff not involved. Even if it’s in the tip pool it still impacts the staff and puts less in their pocket despite doing nothing wrong.

Mine didn’t update until embarkation day on my cruise last week. So perhaps it can vary?

I understand being upset but don’t be dramatic. Catholics are NOT being “targeted”. You realize most major religions outside of Christianity have ZERO representation or support on cruises right? Again it’s valid to be upset with change. It’s not valid to act like somehow Catholics are being discriminated against. Do you feel all cruise lines without priests have “targeted” devout Catholics? 🙄

I don’t find it harsh at all. They are punishing service staff that had nothing to do with it. I don’t care the reason. Complain to corporate, write a letter, but don’t cut tips from staff that work their butts off. Now THAT is harsh to do. No matter the reason it’s still a free upgrade. Their only concern seems to be not getting the double points which they weren’t entitled to. Again, they took it out on the wrong people. I fully stand by my statements.

Navigator said that for my cruise as well until the first day of the cruise so I wouldn’t be bothered by that. All 7 day Alaskan cruises have the same menu and schedule so it will be the 2nd day and 6th day.

So again, penalizing staff for something they had zero control over as you got a free upgrade all because you didn’t get double points. Extremely wrong in my opinion. I feel bad for the staff that had to care for you and your room. I hope you haven’t penalized staff since then.

so you decided to penalize staff because you weren’t getting double points for an upgrade you didn’t have to pay for? There is definitely a noticeable size difference between a standard verandah and a SS. Seems wrong, petty and greedy to penalize them. Especially when getting a free upgrade. It wasn’t there fault for the water or for the points not doubling.

Currently on the Eurodam and ours was night 2 and night 6 as others have mentioned.

Thanks! Just finished filling up at the salmon bake after gold panning. I’m rich now 😂 There has been some light rain but not bad. It is cold though!

Looking at the Juneau webcam currently makes the weather look worse than it is

All docked, people on the Eurodam are getting off the ship. No rain, just cloudy with some high fog. Absolutely beautiful and much clearer than I had expected when looking at the forecast last week. Saw whales, otters and dolphins on the way!

Just misting, not even sprinkling

Can you see me waving? 😂

Interesting. Says we are 3 miles away, still no rain for us. Curious to see once we are docked

I actually don’t think so. I’m not quite in Juneau yet (on the Eurodam) just 4 miles away but thus far no rain and the forecast is saying 0.01” just foggy and cloudy. I expect light showers on and off likely. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will enjoy every moment either way.

I see another ship behind her. Maybe the celebrity edge? we’ve seen a lot of whales this morning

I’m currently on the Eurodam! Waving as we currently are passing the Koningsdam ❤️

yes! Got it assigned late on Friday

It would be too many screenshots to send you what’s in the app but I’m boarding the Eurodam Saturday so I’ll take photos and post them when I get back!

Thank you so much! That makes me feel better 😊

I have a family member who has a guaranteed room. We depart in two days and he still doesn’t have a room assigned. Is there any chance he could arrive for departure and be told there is no room available? He called ship inventory and they said they couldn’t help and sometimes the room is assigned at the port on arrival. Would love to hear other thoughts and experiences!

Isn’t that the truth! You are exempt if no priest is available so this shouldn’t be that much of a concern. I fully agree though. I was raised in the Catholic Church. However I left once I became an adult. It didn’t align with my morals and beliefs. So I do sympathize but feel people are kidding themselves if they think there is any way HAL would lose enough passengers from this decision to undo it. I feel like they are significantly overestimating the number of devout Catholic passengers that cruise with HAL.

I truly think this will have zero impact on their ability to fill ships. I feels for the Catholics upset about this. But keep in mind there is a significant amount of faiths that have ZERO representation or support. Those that no longer want to be with HAL, that's ok but my understanding is that most other cruise lines don't offer it as well. So essentially it's, find a way to accept that mass won't be offered or just not cruise anymore. The ships get sold out and people wait and hope for openings. Any Catholics who know longer go will just have those rooms filled with others. So I wouldn't hold my breathe on these emails or any kind of sales impact changing their mind here. If they do, fantastic and more power to you, but I won't expect it.

it can be glitchy but you should be able to see your menus on the navigator app if your ship is on the same itinerary now. Whatever menu in the app is the same menu that is currently on that ship. Sometimes when you click on it the menu won’t appear. That’s a technically glitch and you may be able to try again then or later and have success.

It should be Wednesday. That is the “Dutch Theme” night so I would imagine it correlates with that.
