Wondering if my preferred cocktails will be covered under the $11 HIA drink package - or if I should upgrade it to cover higher prices.   Can anyone tell me the per drink cost for strawberry daiquiris, and fruity/frozen type concoctions?  My google searches didn't answer this and I can't find it on HAL's website.

Can you reserve lunch at Pinnacle before embarkation?  Looking at dining options on the website, I dinner is the only Pinnacle option I see.

I see dinner reservations for Pinnacle Grill as an option under "manage my cruise" but not lunch.  Can you make lunch reservations at Pinnacle Grill before boarding?  If so, what am I missing?  Do you have to call HAL? 

I was able to get the AARP cards a few days ago.  Had some issues with the website, so call HAL, and the personal cruise consultant was able to apply them over the phone.  

I have a friend who wants to take his 1st cruise and has asked for my help to select and set up.  He will need a motorized scooter.  A few years ago, used one while recovering from surgery. It was great - EXCEPT that we were were told they couldn't be parked in the halls and it barely fit into our cabin.  So tight that I needed help to get it out.  There are very few cabins that are listed as accessible.  Bernie will most likely be traveling solo (don't recommend I go with - he's he's an ex).  So I'm wondering, could they take out one of the twin beds in a standard cabin to make room for a scooter?  I know they move the beds together and apart - but can they take one out for the duration of a cruise?  

I, too, love, love, love the laundry package - but learned the hard way to look for and remove the tags  affixed to each item right away.  Those little things last forever.  Last winter, I found one on the inside of a waistband - it had to be from a 2018 cruise!  

Not quite first timer, but feels like it without any travel since 2019.  Going on Rotterdam in September.  In past, we loved the Pinnacle Grill and need to make reservations there.  Can anyone tell if the Pinnacle menu changes on different nights?  Any recommendation for which night to go?  We really don't look good in orange and were thinking about orange night, but can't tell which night that would be.  Appreciate any insight.

We were in Eurodam 6170 last September for Alaska and it was so peaceful. . . watching whales off the back of the boat from our veranda in the wee hours of the night to the gentle sounds of the water. I thought captain talk said engines pull from the front instead of pushing from the back, but more experienced cruisers may correct that.

Going on Koningsdam July, Amsterdam to Norway fjords, so start and duration are not my home country (USA) . My credit cards all impose both an international fee & a conversion fee for purchases abroad. Assume no ,conversion fee for onboard purchases since ship currency is USD . Anyone know if international fees are inposed?

Whew! Forgot about the 3 week requirement and almost missed deadline since tomorrow is 3 weeks out for next cruise. Thanks for pointing that out.
