Maybe something went wrong and HAL couldn't load the promotion onto their web site.  It's hard to believe there is nothing after the hype.  I know they are having trouble with their phones today.

Having phone trouble last week as well. 

Make sure your “rapid antigen” test is the “viral” test which is the updated requirement for cruising. 

Servers in a restaurant pay taxes on their sales, it used to be 8%. So, whether a person is tipped in cash or credit card they wind up paying taxes no matter what. Some people will only leave $1 a customer at the table. Hardly pays for the 8%. 

Wait staff pays tax on their tips. If the tip is payed in cash then there is no record of the tip and they pay taxes on a percentage of their sales which is usually lower. With a CC there is a hard record of the tip. 

Carnival Corp will be selling some Holland America smaller ships soon.
