Sun Queen II

Wow! Thanks a ton! Guess that lot covers the 15 max a day on Have it All!! 😊 enjoy

They are indeed little jackets for beers to keep them cold.

So if we didn’t want it in a glass, it’s in a bottle?

Hi folks we are packing for our cruise on NS this weekend and wanted to make sure we remembered to pack beer cozies/koozies. Does anyone know if beer is served in a can, a tin bottle or a glass bottle. We have cozies for all types, but we don’t want to pack what we don’t need. first world problem I know. But cold beer is imperative 😉

Quick question. Leaving on NS next Sunday. Does anyone know when the activities will show up in the Navigator App under Events? There’s still nothing there except visit Future cruise folks on the first day at sea. It also still says Smart Casual Dress each day but the boarding pass says 2 Gala Evenings. No idea when/if there are Gala Days and when/if there’s an Orange Night. Is this normal that nothing is on the app yet?

How does one book before the cruise? Does your cruise have to be paid in full before booking? Also when does charge apply - when you book or when you sail?

Thanks Nancy. We’re on NS on Feb 25 so I will keep you updated on what happens!

Thanks. That’s what I saw as well. But reading various posts from this fellow cruisers seems to indicate that some ships/passengers are getting different answers once onboard. Just wondering if anyone has any recent experience with upgrading drink packages and whether non-alcoholic drinks count towards the 15 drink limit per day.

I’ve been searching for info on this for a while and there seems to be conflicting answers to my question. If you have the Have It All package and you do upgrade from the Signature Drink Package to the Elite Drink Package, does that mean all non-alcoholic drinks (waters, coffee, juices, soft drinks) are not counted towards your daily 15 drink limit per day? Some say that’s the case, others say it doesn’t matter if it’s water or alcohol, it counts towards your 15 daily limit.

Thanks! Does sound easy enough. One last question can you take your carry on luggage to your room right away or do you have to wait for an announcement to say that rooms are ready?

We are new to HAL. Boarding NS in Port Everglades at the end of February. How does the whole process work from arriving at port to getting on? We have done many Princess cruises so we are used to medallion and green/blue lanes. What happens with HAL?

We are currently on Enchanted and every bar has Cattier Champagne at $19/glass. It’s pretty good. We have not tried any of the bottles as we have the Premier Package.

Thanks can’t wait to hear all about your experiences.

Thanks to everyone who provided input or opinion or recent experiences. We are super excited to get on our ship next week. We just want to be informed and careful as after our two week cruise on princess we have another two week cruise on holland and want to be as healthy as possible for both trips. Safe travels to everyone planning a trip along the ocean!

Hi all, we have been reading recent reviews of folks cruising on Princess who ended up catching covid. This happened to us at the end of our Canada/New England trip in September on Caribbean Princess. We found out once we got home and recovered. My question is what happens if you get ill while sailing? Assume you’re tested and quarantined in your room? What about compensation for missing part of the cruise? I believe I read somewhere that your ‘missed days’ are 100% refunded. But is that only if you used Princess Travel Insurance? Can you get off early and fly home? Anyone have any recent experience with this while sailing? We are headed on the Enchanted next week and just curious how things work now.

Are non alcoholic drinks such as bottled water and specialty coffees part of the 15 limit count each day?

Can you upgrade to the Elite drink package on board or do you have to do that before boarding? I believe the Elite package has drink prices up to $15, correct?

So only blue to do this once on board? Can I do it via phone a couple of months prior to cruise?

How does one go about booking one?

Sorry for the confusion. We’re on Enchanted. And yes, I was referring to the Journey tab on the Princess App.

Hi all, DH and I leave on our next cruise in 26 days and while some activities such as pickleball and sail away celebration etc have been added, there are still a lot missing such as production shows, dancing, karaoke and movies. On our last cruise (Canada New England in September) everything was posted at the 30 day mark. Does anyone know if a Caribbean cruise is different and when the rest of the activities will be posted. Thanks!

Yes thank you I see the two specialty dinners now. What about reservations for the main dining room? I don’t see any ability to book specific times. When I booked our cruise I chose dine anytime but I assumed like in Princess, I could choose specific times and make reservations for two people, yet I don’t see that anywhere.

Thanks. I tried that but all it shows is what I can book. Not what I already booked and paid for.

How do you see which dinner reservations you have made? I made some last month but went on the navigator app and the HAL website and cannot find my dinner reservations. Sorry new to HAL so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you happen to have the menus for Steamers and Planks that you could share here!? Thanks so much for the update!
