Haljo1935

Before I began receiving laundry perks (best ever 😊) I always budgeted for laundry. Sometimes it was by the bag and sometimes unlimited, just depended on itinerary and weather, but HAL always does my laundry. If you roll then stack your items, you can fit an incredible amount of clothes in 1 bag, making even 1 bag a bargain. 🫣

So are you going to Olympia?

Last cruise was Carnival Venezia, but this one is not on Carnival. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2970130-going-live-on-nieuw-statendam-roundtrip-rome-⛲🛵oct-26-nov-9-planes-trains-vespas-ships-wgot/?do=findComment&comment=66306420

Game of Thrones. DH is a huge fan.

For sure! And I have read the food is really good - lots of options, very walkable port.

Thanks so much and thanks for coming along!

Thanks for coming along - it's almost time to leave!!

Happy to hear from someone w/experience and same time 8f year, too - very helpful. Split did look very walkable when we were doing some very brief research. Now that we know for sure we're going, we will dig in. Husband will undoubtedly stop at every site that looks familiar to him. He could probably host his own GOT tour, lol 😆 🤣

Oh my - pineapple people missing their duck

Have not checked on tickets for Pantheon, but it's now on my to do list. We talked about taking the train to Florence so there's a reason to shoot for a "next time."

Ooooh DH will be so excited. Thanks for the head's up.🧐

I want to go to Athens just so I can spend the day w/Glykeria! @ninjacat123 please have double fun in Olympia to cover my share - we got notice our ship will not stop there next week, we're going to Split Croatia instead.😪 So neither DH nor I will be running the track, boo hoo.

@IntrepidFromDC is hereby dubbed the official "does this shoe meet the brothel requirements" checker!! 😵

So, HAL has (finally) given official notice that Olympia is out and Split is in. DH is very bummed 😞 😔 😕 😪 😢 but the Rangers are doing their part to raise his spirits by blessing us with an appearance in the World Series. GO RANGERS!! This itinerary change also means he will get additional GOT locations since Split is apparently GOT heavy. There's the silver lining 🙄 Navigator says 4 more days - let's gets this party started already!!

DH will be very keen to try one.🤭

Yay Rangers! Interesting collection of days. I have memories of making fried bolo sandwiches - I'll have easy onions, @Mr. Bostonwhen you fix them 🤭 Agree w/Mr Einstein but I admit to not trying new things lately, I tend to focus on the failure rather than the thrill of something new. The meal, drink and wine all sound good. Not been to Guadalupe. I had no idea there was a soccer club so old. 73° headed to 82°. Hope tomorrow's rain 🌧 times appropriately so as to not interfere w/our flight. So much work today and much packing to still do. There are some items that have not been delivered yet, so packing depends on when they arrive. I was distracted last night by game 7, but it was worth it - the Rangers will be playing in the World Series! Prayers and positive thoughts for all.

Glad you're here! What kind of sandwich is that?

I think I could handle full time life on a ship; however, I would miss my fur babies.

Well, now that this is settled, perhaps I can get something done!! Of course, we will miss the World Series...

@billbungerWhen I have 2 booking numbers on B2B, I have had to get a new key 100% of the time.

Good job - congrats!!

Ok y'all, let's get real - do these suitcases look like they're ready to be zipped? No they do not! And half of them will not even be going on a trip!! Maybe this has something to do with it - GO RANGERS!!

Thanks for posting this. Interesting, we received a check-in change notice today from HAL and the itinerary still showed Olympia on 3rd, At Sea on 4th. Very interested in what @garagesalegran learns from Shore Ex.

That's who we had for our B2B last month. He did a great job (once he remembered to leave the Fun Times). Very nice, conscientious guy.

Welcome to HAL!! I hope you like it as much as we do. Unfortunately, there is no one right answer; I think you'll read different actions from different people because of the inconsistent way HAL handles this. We have received credit for the price drop by seeing a new lower price on our invoice thus making total due at final payment less. This does not change any of your package or perks nor the booking number. It is simply a reprice of your booking by the amount you saw you "overpaid". We've also received that same amount back in OBC - not in addition to the reprice, instead of. Those are the 2 most common, easiest resolutions I've experienced when outside final payment (as you said your booking is). There've been times when rebooking has been mentioned, but being outside final payment, I've chosen to speak to someone else rather than go down that path. Safe travels - enjoy your cruise!
