My booking was a refundable deposit .

I booked this cruise for November of 2024 on April 1 2024 . It was a refundable deposit cruise if that makes any difference but l had it refared NOT cancelled and rebooked. A supervisor at Holland added the prepaid gratuities thru my TA.

I was able to keep AARP and shareholder credit with only losing $25 of OBC.

The guy(Conner) that I talked to at the big box store called Holland and the first person he talked to to add the promo said it couldn’t be done so he called back and spoke to someone else who did do it. At first I was going to loose my shipboard credit of $200 but in the end they just took $25. It’s all in who they talk to. If you don’t like the first answer hang up, call again and talk to someone else or have them ask to speak to a supervisor. Conner was great ,l was on the phone with him for over an hour but he was persistent and got it done! Good luck and keep trying because gratuities add up to a lot and in my case it is a 24 day cruise.

August 20

I book with big box store so called them and they called HAL and had it added on. I did loose $25 of my OBC but gained pre paid gratuities.

Thanks for the heads up, just had the paid gratuities added to 2 of my cruises.

I know the cabin walls are metal but are the bathroom walls also to hold magnets? Thanks

Does anyone know if the walls are metal in those cabins, particularly PR 717 for hooks?

Thanks all for the suggestions. Was going to do the Holland transfer from Canada Place to SeaTac for $168/2 but found out if 15 or less sign up they put you on Quick Shuttle. So booked Quick Shuttle on my own for $100 less and will stay at Coast Gateway Hotel with free shuttle from SeaTac and Uber to pier 91. Seemed the easiest with having to haul luggage.

Thanks for the heads up Ferry Watcher. Will try to pack light and 5* so laundry won’t be an issue.

We will be on Koningsdam Alaska round trip Vancouver from August 24 - 31 and then we have to get to Seattle for the Japan cruise on Westerdam September 1st. Any ideas of the best way to get from Canada Place to a hotel in Seattle. Will probably Uber it to pier 91 on Sept 1. Thanks for any suggestions.

🙁 thank you

Does anyone know if you are a 4 or 5* Mariner do you get 1/2 off the prices.

I was told by HAL that the AARP OBC for bookings in 2025 can’t be applied now because they aren’t sure it will be offered in 25. They said to check back mid 2024 and if they continue with it they will add it to your 2025 bookings.
