For example leave the ship in Vietnam and fly to Cambodia. Take a tour then fly to another port to meet the ship. A two day overnight tour to Luxor. None are ship sponsored. 

Leaving in one port and flying to a place. Cost of the tour off the ship. 

I have trip canx insurance plus Med evac and medical. If I want to cover side trips how do I cover those?

I want to check on my reservations.  At one point there was a particular website for Flight Ease where you put your last name and the flight ease confirmation  in.  Despite looking all over, I can't find it.  Does anyone have that link?  Going to HAL website is useless. 

TIA

We were tested at Lab Doctor which did a Covid-19 antigen rapid test for $49.00.  The results were ready in about 20-30 minutes and happily accepted by HAL, since it was a "supervised" test.  They do not allow home tests unless they're the kind where someone on the computer supervises you. 

 

The office is across the street and down one block from the Embassy Suites, where we were staying.  The exact address is 1425-A SE 17th Street, Ft Lauderdale, and it's part of a small shopping area.

 

Hope this helps.  BTW, I'll be checking with the front desk on how many passengers there will be next week.  

Thank you - I had this bookmarked and wanted to see if it was the same place.

Half Moon Cay (pronounced “key”)

AKA “The Private Island”

 

 

 

 The other four of us went to a testing facility across the street from our hotel on Friday, spent $49 each, and in 15 minutes had four negative antigen tests.  Hooray!

 

 

 

 

Can I ask where you were tested?  Thanks

Can one find out what the wines are that ARE available on the ship in the ultimate package or the pay for wine packages?  I would hate to spend money on poor wine selections.

Not sure these tests work for folks on here always looking for at home tests......(we just go to our Florida health dept before our cruise and get a quick free test....done it in October and December by appointment)

 

Tomorrow you can order them for FREE from the USA gubment......They say they will ship 7 - 12 days after ordering so if you add mail time, you can get it in what, 10-15 days ? LOL

 

That shipping time frame makes them perfect for those of us leisure vacation folks but not sure that timeline will work for anyone who actually has symptoms and really needs a test.

 

Here is the link.....glad they are making it easier for those of us lucky enough to travel a lot! LOL.  

 

Will this work for what y'all want in an at home test?

I just emailed our PCC at HAL who is very good at getting information.  She said: "HAL has not made any changes …but apparently the requirements are being reviewed for all Brands." She will let us know when/if changes are made.  Given that this is a CDC recommendation, I would think that HAL will follow suit for cruises after Sept 13.

Yeah the steak presentation was definitely not what I expected!

 

Totally not a fan of the McDonalds style hash browns! I agree they are not brand appropriate at all

Its interesting that when we were on board Aug 7-14 the hash browns never appeared but we had lovely "fried and sliced potatoes".  We did tell the PG manager that it was a good change.  Sorry to hear the triangles are back. . .

For the Aug 7 cruise, I was finally able to complete the questionnaire using the computer.

It would be very helpful for HAL to have a fact sheet for these new developments, as indeed there are many questions.

This is what we received last night for our Aug 7 sailing and then another email this morning from HAL. 

I sent a email to ship services and received the current list available on the NA which looks the same as the one posted. Needed to make sure I could get Chandon by the glass (!) instead of the bottle🍾

It does but when i scroll down there isn’t a place to add the photo. I,m wondering if this not available yet (we board Aug 7) but the health questionnaire won’t be available until 4 Aug so maybe photo uptake too.?.

I would like to know the cost per person per day to upgrade form the signature drink package to the elite package. This would be from the Have it all promotion so have to upgrade on the ship. Thanks in advance!

I do.

 

Thanks J - if I had scrolled up I would have found it - I was looking on the HAL website!.  Do you know if they have better wines by the glass or just what is listed? 

Do you have a picture or pdf of the signature and elite beverage package.  I could find it yesterday but not today. 🥵

Thanks for the info but what I need is if I need to change AFTER final payment as that is when I would pay for the flights. For example if I have a flight to EDI for 1 Sept and need to change it to AMS on 17 Sept.

We purchased our air reservations thru HAL using the flex option. If one has to change the itinerary (departure date and arrival city) after final payment does one contact HAL air or go to the airline?

We will back on the Rotterdam in 10 days for a month and will ask about drydock while we are on board.  We have been looking at the cruise you mentioned but it’s a bit early for us to book yet.

Hi Trident - followed you and Carol on the Maasdam.  You say you'll be on the Rotterdam in 10 days - are you on the Amsterdam-Rome and then Rome-Rome to Holylands?

MS NA is on the move

I book directly with a HAL PCC but once booked with FlightEase received an email with the attached info from HAL.  You can also go to the HAL website to check on your flights.  If you've already past final payment, you need to pay for the flights (sounds like you're leaving shortly).  If you are before final payment, the flights aren't paid for.  You can call HAL and authorize the payment for the flights before final payment if you wish - that's what I've done. I can check my flights and select seats.

It's a RavPower RP-WD03 with a self contained battery.  In summary one electronically connects the router to the Ship's WiFi, puts the router in Bridge mode,  and then connect your devices via WiFi to the router.  It's a bit more fiddly than that, and I could write up a detailed description on my blog if there is sufficient interest.

It would probably be better if you could send the details in an email to me rather than cluttering up this thread! 

Thanks - Susan

Hi Susan, it's John and Caro(CJcruzer) sailing with Btimmer - our third year in a row - 2017 together in Japan, 2018 in Indonesia, and now, 2019, in Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Maldives.

 

Looks like we will have to find another cruise together with you and Bruce, it's been too long!😊

We do - thinking about South America after 2020!
