Does FaceTime calls work with the Surf plan? Carolyn

Just received a current booking confirmation from my TA and no stock onboard credit has been posted yet. I received the Stockperks email that says my onboard credit of $250 was applied to my booking on Jan 29th. Not impressed with the new procedure.

Finally got the email at 7 pm tonight from Stockperks saying my statement had been approved. I did the Redeem step and just got another email saying that my request for OBC has been successfully submitted to HAL. Also it said they would be in touch in 5 days to confirm that the credit was applied. I will contact my TA in a week about getting a new Booking Confirmation to see if credit was applied.

I started the Stockperk process Jan. 16 by uploading a photo of current statement and did not receive an email confirming such. Uploaded a pdf of statement on Jan 23 and still no confirmation email. In looking at the Profile tab everyday since I have “Profile completion 50%” in a blue box. I am ready to send email to HAL stating that the new procedure for OBC is very unusable. Fortunately I have until April for my approval. Carolyn

I forgot to say that our luggage was locked in the back of the mini bus during our tour.

We used the Show Me Seattle tour company. James was our guide/driver and was very friendly and knowledgeable of Seattle. My husband isn’t able to walk long distances so we did a driving tour with photo stops. Shawn Belyea | Private Tours Coordinator Show Me Seattle Tours office (206) 633-2489 x4

Thank you, just what I was hoping to hear from someone. carolyn

I am looking at the Element FT Lauderdale, 299 North Federal Hwy. Has anyone stayed there? Carolyn

I am still looking for anyone who has stayed at the Element Hotel. We will plan on using a taxi or Uber. Carolyn

Thank you everyone. Carolyn

Has anyone stayed at the Element hotel that HAL that uses for pre & post trips? We are flying in from California two days prior to our cruise and are hoping that we can get a ship transfer on embarkation day, Thanks, Carolyn

We did a 24 day HAL RT Boston last summer. Went in 4 days early to visit a friend in Newton. Stayed at the Marriott there in Newton. They gave me following information for the driver they recommend. Francklin picked us up at the airport to go to hotel, then also used him for hotel to ship and ship to hotel on return. Very nice, friendly guy with a large SUV.

We are boarding the Royal Princess June 3rd in Seattle. We were able to select Boarding Group A 11;00-11:30 am on the Princess App a few weeks ago. I just printed the Travel Summary and it says boarding begins at 1:00 pm. Anyone have an idea what time we will be able to board? Thank you, Carolyn

We are a group of 9 people traveling together and our flight leaves at 7:50 pm. We have arranged a private 7 hr tour for the day. Our luggage will be on the mini bus with us.

Thank you you for all of your replies. I will probably plan on doing a load or two myself. carolyn

Thank you. Are there per day or bag packages?

Thank you all. Carolyn

I have looked everywhere but can’t find information on laundry services. We are going to Alaska on the Royal in June and want minimize the amount of clothes we take. I know there are guest washers and dryers available, but I am on vacation and don’t want to spend time doing our laundry. Thank you. Carolyn

Can you pass on a link to Jim’s thread for me please? I searched but didn’t see it. We are doing the Feb 9th cruise. Thank you, Carolyn

I just tried to book through the website rather than the email link and could see the deposit amount that would be due but once I completed the passenger info it asked for full fair amount. I will have to try to call HAL and hope for a short time on hold. I was trying to book myself so I could use left over bonus gift cards. My TA said that she doesn't have time to enter a bunch of gift cards so we decided I would book our next cruise, then transfer it to her to manage and be able to get the AAA OBC. Carolyn

I was trying to book a 17 day Panama Canal cruise for April 2024 and was going to use gift cards for the deposit. I entered all of our information and it showed the I had to pay for the entire fare today. What did I do wrong? Carolyn

Thank you I will check it out. Carolyn

Does anyone know when the 2024 Panama Canal cruise schedule will come out? Than you, Carolyn

Thank you for the quick responses. One less concern, now to work on VeriFLY and ArrIveCAN. Carolyn

Has anyone used an IPad to do the proctored Binax Covid test. Trying not to take PC. We are flying Sunday and will need to test in Boston on Tuesday prior to our embarkation on Wednesday. Thank you, Carolyn
