KAKcruiser

I have done the same thing a few times - booked VH GTY, added CO and upgraded to a V category. However, when searching for cruises in the Caribbean, there do not seem to be any VH cabins available. I don't see how they can be sold out since I was looking at 2016 cruises. Anyone notice this?

Do you mean halfacts dot com?

Thanks. They had also removed the second piano from the Rotterdam last March and I'm not sure if it has been put back. Wouldn't you think all the ships would be the same?

Does anyone know the status of dual pianos on the Nieuw Statendam?

If the two piano players are coming back, they are not necessarily from Billboard Onboard who I believe was a franchise. Maybe HAL will hire them from a different talent pool and they will be better.

Don't know if this is true but someone told me that the piano was actually a keyboard and the rest of the piano was a shell. If so, I guess it would be easier to move around.

You better get your TA to act now or you might lose it.

The dummy booking usually only lasts for 15 minutes.

If you hide the cabin on a dummy booking your TA will not be able to book it as it will show as unavailable.

I don't think they are available anymore except maybe on longer cruises.

The private sale is the past passenger (Mariner) sale. You can list your preferences for mail and email in your account profile.

They are gradually phasing out the Priests. I think they are letting the ones that were already scheduled go ahead.

I agree.

Julia - Many people did contact HAL in writing about wanting to keep the Priests onboard. They obviously don't care and responded with some excuse about not having sufficient crew which doesn't make any sense.

I would be willing to do that. However, again, I don't think the price of the cabin is the reason the Priests are being discontinued.
