    The cabins have been ready for occupancy for at least 10 years.
  2. KAKcruiser
    Embarkation lunch in the dining room was available for years before staggered boarding times were used. It worked out fine then.
  3. KAKcruiser
    The excuses are ridiculous - saving on food costs and waste! Really! We are on a cruise.
  4. KAKcruiser
    The dining room was always fairly crowded on embarkation day. I will miss it.
  5. KAKcruiser
    Yes, many times cabins for triples or quads are in the best locations.
  6. KAKcruiser
    That would be crazy to not allow 2 people to book a Neptune Suite. They are charging really high prices for these cabins now. Maybe they are doing this for cruises far in the future and will open them up to everyone as the sailing date gets closer.
  7. KAKcruiser
    Since you are at the top of cabins, I would think you would be safe. There would be no reason to move you.

    It always amazes me how much trouble you have to go through just to get what you are entitled to. And, no matter how hard you try, sometimes it just doesn't work out. I agree that you shouldn't book with them again.
  9. KAKcruiser
    They usually use Havensight but that is not guaranteed.
  10. KAKcruiser
    It must have been a recent decision because I hadn't seen that January 18 cruise listed until this week.
  11. KAKcruiser
    It looks like HAL has scheduled a one week Caribbean cruise on the Zaandam for January 18, 2025 which is when she was supposed to start drydock.
  12. KAKcruiser
    I received a reply to my email to Office of the President. It was a canned reply so I wrote back again and this time got the message about the decision being made because of a "staffing" problem. I wrote back and told them that not much staffing was required and this sounded like an excuse. I doubt I will hear from them again.
  13. KAKcruiser
    I also sent an email to Gus two weeks ago and haven't received a response. Today I sent one to the office of the president as suggested. But, I don't have much faith in what the customer service rep said about there being the possibility of changing the decision. I think they just make things up.
  14. KAKcruiser
    Apostolate of the Seas did not make this decision. They have plenty of priests willing to serve. They were informed of this decision by HAL only recently.
  15. KAKcruiser
    I bet you were moved to a Vista Suite. I also don't see much difference over a verandah cabin. You would have noticed the difference if it was a signature suite. HAL should have paid the extra gratuities because the move was necessitated by the verandah cabin being uninhabitable.
  16. KAKcruiser
    I think the Priests that are currently scheduled on cruises will still be able to sail but no new ones will be added. I still have not received a response to my email from two weeks ago. Very disappointed.
  17. KAKcruiser
    It's really no different than spending extra to eat in a specialty restaurant. We all decide how we want to spend our money. It has nothing to do with being "uppity."
  18. KAKcruiser
    Yes, they have chocolate souffle.
  19. KAKcruiser
    You are only eligible for OBC is there is no other cabin available in your meta category to upgrade you to.
  20. KAKcruiser
    I know it wasn't much money and not worth the time involved. But, it was the principle. They were wrong to charge me and I'm sure they are doing it to lots of people. We have to keep speaking up.
  21. KAKcruiser
    They also offered me a refund of $4.00 (correct amount) or an OBC of $20. I took the money.
  22. KAKcruiser
    I guess if they were unhappy with their TA.
  23. KAKcruiser
    I think the OP was transferring the booking from TA to HAL.
  24. KAKcruiser
    Mine showed up after we disembarked.
  25. KAKcruiser
    People look at you when they pass in the dining room. I don't know why someone looking at you in Club Orange should cause any discomfort.
