    I would guess that there would have to be a cabin available that would accommodate 4 people.
  2. KAKcruiser
    Was there a Mariner's lunch on this cruise?
  3. KAKcruiser
    That is a good price to upgrade to a verandah. I think you would be much happier if you took the offer.
  4. KAKcruiser
    The category you book and pay for is controlling. In this case it would be VH. So, if there is a price decrease for VH you would be eligible. However, it is very hard to get the phone reps to understand this. Usually I have to ask for a pricing specialist who has more experience and is familiar with this.

    Is the piano player, Derek, good?
  6. KAKcruiser
    What ship was this?
  7. KAKcruiser
    I was just looking at a travel agent website and it would only show me cabins available for 2 on the Koningsdam in the Caribbean March 2026. Anything for 3 or 4 was not shown. Then I went to the HAL website and it was the same thing. They must be serious about this.
  8. KAKcruiser
    The new Caribbean cruises have been posted for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Looks like the same old itineraries. New is that the Koningsdam will sail in the Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale and the Zuiderdam will sail out of Miami.

    The dining room was always full and busy on embarkation day. So, this must be a made-up excuse.
  10. KAKcruiser
    I think in this case the person was asking about buying a better cabin but did not have an official offer for an upsell. She wanted to upgrade to the lowest available category and then get upgraded with CO.
  11. KAKcruiser
    Is this on all the ships now? Is it on Rotterdam?
  12. KAKcruiser
    Why not call and ask HAL your question? Then you can decide what to do. Ask to be connected with a pricing specialist. They seem to be more knowledgeable than the people who answer the phone.

    SusieKIslandGirl, Did you try plugging the refrigerator back in? Did you check the circuit breaker?

    How much does it cost to upgrade to the elite drink package? Is it worth it?
  15. KAKcruiser
    I don't drink a lot but the reason I get the drink package is for the convenience of not having a lot of extra charges. It defeats the purpose to have extra charges to get the drinks I want like a basic pina colada. Also, many of the glasses of wine are over the limit. Maybe they are trying to get everyone to upgrade to the elite package.
  16. KAKcruiser
    So what is the purpose of a drink package if everything has an extra charge? Will this hurt the sale of drink packages? I would rather have them limit the number of drinks per day than limit the price.
  17. KAKcruiser
    The price of drinks was increased a few months ago and I just assumed that the current limit of $11 would be increased also. Any word on this yet?
  18. KAKcruiser
    Was James a good singer and piano player? Do you know how long he will be staying on the Rotterdam?
  19. KAKcruiser
    I was surprised at how much I liked the Rotterdam since my previous favorites were the smaller R class ships. I actually found the Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam to be more crowded.
  20. KAKcruiser
    I don't remember any live music by the pool for a number of years. Did I miss it?
  21. KAKcruiser
    Always ask for something you can't find. They usually have it.
  22. KAKcruiser
    Since the beds are located near the balcony, I would assume that the sofa with the pullout bed would be near the bathroom in all the vista cabins. (Unless there is an exception for a handicapped cabin.) Of course, make sure that the cabin indicates room for 3 people so the sofa will include the pullout bed.
  23. KAKcruiser
    Last year I paid for screw top water cans because it wasn't included in the HIA package. The pop top cans don't work well for going ashore.
  24. KAKcruiser
    And they will have to turn it in or lose their jobs.
  25. KAKcruiser
    I think the contract was up with Billboard just like it was with Lincoln Center and HAL decided not to renew.
