That's an interesting point about using gift cards onboard that I hadn't thought about. -

Sea42 replied to Host Walt's topic in Holland America Line
Wow, that seems expensive for a 14 day, OV, with no inclusions. Our 22 day, South America w/Antarctica (2025) is that price, all in. It is for a veranda cabin and includes gratuities, WiFi, drinks and 3 specialty dinners. We also were able to choose our cabin. What itinerary is this? -
Am I asking too much from my travel agent?
Sea42 replied to CafeBruno's topic in Holland America Line
But 10 days for a confirmation isn't really a drop everything situation or an unreasonable expectation. -
It's official. Production shows are back!!

We loved the BbKing bands on our last few cruises! Unfortunately, on the Oosterdam, only Rolling Stone is offered. I'll hope for the best. -

And if you actually like production shows. I don't but will be happy to hang out and listen to the band in Rolling Stone. Something for everyone! -
Live from the Volendam - please join the Merry Widows on their cruise 😊

I hope you both have a wonderful time! -
Thanks @Mercruiser, for the information! I didn't realize how close that airport was to the port.I was expecting it to be further from the city. I did see your currency thread and appreciate that information also. Our ship will be in port for the final 2 days of our cruise. We will leave the ship on the first day and not return to the ship. We've contact HAL about this. I do know there has been a change in the process for embarkation and disembarkation due to storm damage at the port. I think I will plan for an afternoon flight just to give us enough cushion to plan for unforeseen issues.

Unless it is that the hotels etc are just not available yet and they are putting people on the wait list for when they are ready for bookings?

Can someone who has recently done the trip, with the current port set up, tell me how long it took to get from your ship to AEP for a flight to Iguazu Falls. Trying to figure out what flight time is reasonable. Thank you!

If you look at the thread by user WCB, who are on the world cruise right now, you will get some insights. Many of their posts contain some mention of the Presidents Club.

The OP is asking about using gift cards that are sold by AARP to be used for HAL. They can be purchased for a 10% discount.
-
No reason to wait until after you book or to call HAL. I just email my TA with the number of the cabin that I want, when she makes my booking. If CO is no longer available I would still have her book that cabin but pay the going rate. That has not happened yet but I book pretty early.

It just shouldn't be that hard but getting your daughter's input wouldn't hurt. Good luck! -

Sea42 replied to Host Walt's topic in Holland America Line
That is so frustrating! That sees to be an ongoing problem for many people. I don't understand why this is such a big deal for the IT dept. of HAL to figure out these log in issues. -
It could also be that only double occupancy cabins are being shown, not triple and quads?

Once you log in on the website, go to Manage Your Booking, select the cruise and then under Extras you can purchase the OBC. I can't provide a general link because you have to be logged in and purchase thru your booking. -
The higher cost packages don't provide more speed, there are just fewer types of sites that are blocked. https://www.hollandamerica.com/en/us/onboard-packages/cruise-ship-wifi
