  1. I used to have a potholder that was that. No idea what went with it. I should probably look for it but ....
  2. I actually knew about that one. Since I'll be adding club orange, I have to call in anyway. So, I'll ask for that fare then. I won't be going through my current PCC. I really need to get around to getting a new one, along with all the other things I really need to get around to doing. 🤣
  3. I'm pondering booking this one, and the new scenery is the big reason. I think it sounds great!
  4. It's usually always true that you don't know what you don't know. In my case, being a new HAL cruiser, I didn't know a lot of things. I still don't. LOL. These are some things that I'm unsure of and will appreciate input on: 1. For a cruise booked far in advance and not after final payment, can I add cruise insurance later on, before final payment, or do I need to do it when I book? 2. If I book with the HIA "fully refundable" pricing, what exactly does that mean? Deposit is fully refundable before final payment? 3. If I book with the HIA "fully refundable" pricing, add club orange, and take the cabin upgrade how does that/does that affect the "fully refundable?" If I need to cancel before final payment, is the deposit still refundable (if it ever was) and is the club orange cost refundable? 4. Who can I contact to get a different cruise person (forget what it's called on HAL)? The one I was assigned is hard to work with and doesn't seem all that sure of what she's doing. Part of my confusion on things is due to her vagueness. I'd like to try a different agent and see if I can find one I can work with better. Thanks in advance for any guidance you all can offer.
  5. When we go to Alaska, I just assume it's going to be raining every day. If it doesn't, then I'm pleasantly surprised. We've had good luck with that over the years.
  6. When they have a Pie in the Sky party, they'll have my full attention. I'm not much on cake, but I do love good pie.
  7. That's really nice! We renewed hubby's passport last year, and it took weeks (and weeks and more weeks) even though expedited. I guess they worked through the back log.
  8. I love those Sabatini's poached eggs over roasted potatoes. Yum! 🤩
  9. Plastic palm tree? Beach umbrella? Umbrella would be totally unneeded, since you're under the overhang. But if you have the inflatable cube, cooler, and plastic palm tree then you'd need the beach umbrella to complete the look. 😂
  10. This is disappointing. We always went to the MDR on embarkation day, since the buffet tends to be a zoo. Now, it'll be even more zoolike. Drat.
  11. I would vote for choice #1. The bus trip across Alaska between Denali and Copper River is great. We did it in the other direction, and we agreed that it was one of the major highlights of the cruisetour. Also, the Copper River area is gorgeous. You can take a shuttle up to Wrangell St. Elias park. Nice visitor center there and nice trails around said visitor center.
  12. I would suggest asking that question here: Cruise Air - Cruise Critic Community
  13. I'm seeing Pinnacle Grill on the Oosterdam on cruisedeckplans, as well as the Canaletto section of the buffet. Unless they've taken those out, your cruise planner is giving you bad info.
  14. It's not one that I'd book, since it's under the buffet. Many others would probably say it's fine, but I would be concerned about noise.
  15. You would definitely be welcome to it if it's the same as last year's. Our next cruise is the eclipse cruise on the Discovery. There're so many folks on the roll call for that, that I have no idea if you're on that one too. ??
  16. The 2024 set couldn't possibly be any more useless to us than the 2023 set was.
  17. No, the Dive In doesn't, but on the Westerdam last September there was a taco bar set up near there every day. Seemed very popular, but we didn't try it.
  18. Maybe something like this? Amazon.com: HotHands Body & Hand Super Warmers - Long Lasting Natural Odorless Air Activated Warmers - Up to 18 Hours of Heat - 10 Individual Warmers : Sports & Outdoors
  19. That's a good link. Comparison charts shows what's what very well.
  20. I'm really new to HAL, with our first cruise being on the Westerdam last September. My assigned PCC also requires setting up an appointment date and time. I've nicely told her that doesn't work for me, but she ignores that. I like an email trail, rather than remembering what I think a person said over the phone (and this nice lady is really vague and wordy). I also like to book quickly when I see a cabin and price combination that I like. So, this method of setting up an appointment doesn't work for me on two levels. I won't be going through this PCC and will be asking for a new one when I get around to doing so. Right now, we're all booked up for 2024 and 2025, so this is a can I can kick down the road.
  21. I hear you on that! Hubby wears nice running shoes, and I wear Merrell Jungle Mocs. Those are black suede and have a great footbed.
  22. For our last several cruises, one of them on HAL, hubby has worn a dress shirt, no tie, nice slacks. Nobody had a problem with this.
  23. This! This happens all over the place, not just on ships. I can't count the number of times I've been forced to step off a walking path or trail to avoid colliding with the 3-4 abreast people who simply won't move. We always tuck into single file in these cases, and they still demand the entire path.
