This was posted on another thread. As you can see your OBC depends on stateroom type and length of cruise.

Not a fact at all as I could care less if they eliminated smoking indoors. What I don't like is when folks squabbling over and over again about existing rules and regulations. Learn to live with it or sail with some line that has "no smoking" whatever.

Okay "Ipeeinthepools" & "KroozNut" could you two just agree to disagree please? Your bickering back and forth has dominated this thread for quite some time and has really really gotten dull and boring. And yes, before you type it, I know I don't have to read it. BTW, "Ipeeinthepools", what's with the handle?

Thunder you are correct re MYR to FLL and return. I've been making the trip for several years now and booking direct with the airlines (AA or DL) is always cheaper than Flight Ease.

Probably a picture taken on departure day as they usually remove the chairs around the Sea View Pool due to the potential of lots of people wanting to watch from there.

Boarding on Wednesday also for 21 days of bliss!

Do we know for certain that HAL is not compensating them in some way?

What you "believe" is correct. There have been several threads here on CC over the years about some kind of reciprocity between the CCL corp lines but to date nothing has been done.

Do you have two booking numbers one for each leg or you have only one booking number for all 14 days?

Do they allow Uber drivers to enter the port area in advance of someone requesting a ride or must they wait outside the gated area until a rider is confirmed? Also, what is the advantage of using Uber/Lyft over a cab?

kazu Posted 1 hour ago "Curious as I was not contacted by security after my fall. And I was billed for all of the medical services." Jacqui I would make certain to point that fact out to HAL. Early Spring 2020 (prior Covid shutdown) I stupidly tried to take the end of my finger off closing one of the pool loungers. When I went down to medical and prior to even seeing the doctor the receptionist called the SECO down to speak with me. After explaining to him several times that HAL was not responsible for my stupidity he had me sign a form to that effect. Since I'm certain you advised medical that you had slipped on a wet floor they were negligent in not contacting the SECO. He/She should have spoken with you prior to you leaving medical. You should be reimbursed for all you out of pocket expenses.

Bill - Mary Ann, Since I know you are from somewhere in California I hope it is not one of the areas under siege by Mother Nature. Thank you so much for again taking us along with you on your voyage.

Jacqui, you are correct it was a message from Jose BUT you got the actual message incorrect. What he was trying to show you was that you are a strong women and more that capable of dealing with what life hands you and you made him very proud. He does know how much you miss him but would not be happy if you stopped living your life to it's fullest. He will always be by your side............

Thought I was the only one to find that cool!

On HAL's site the categories are color coded, just match the color to the code on the legend.

According to HAL it is location, location, location! Some do not agree with HAL opinion. Unless it is one of the odd shaped staterooms, easy to see on the deck plans, the "V" staterooms are identical.

Sending warm wishes that your situation is resolved quickly. I will miss your daily postings but your health is a priority. Take care and please feel better soon!

Where do you buy your Gouda? TIA

Pretty much so and isn't it great! If you have questions about pretty much anything about your cruise and cannot find the answer on HAL's Before You Go site just ask you question here on CC. Additionally, I recommend you join (or at least read) the Roll Call for your cruise.

This sounds like the perfect solution and I would push HAL to expedite this plan.

Kathi WONDERFUL to see your Christmas present! Just knowing that you will not fall will help make your gait much more normal and hopefully that will reduce your pain. I cannot thank you enough for taking all your time to keep us up to date on your travels. Wishing you a blessed holiday and a safe and healthy New Year.

The vacation protection, normally just referred to as "insurance", has not been refundable for as long as I've been sailing on HAL. Waiting until final payment to buy it is the way to protect against situations like the one you had. I do hope your wife is doing okay and feels better with each passing day.

i have 2 cruises booked in March 23 and the HAL site responds with No Testing requirement. Needless to say that's subject to change but fingers and toes crossed that it does not.

Perhaps I'm just lucky but have never encountered a problem with "boarding" either at embarkation or at port stops. If you are considering CO simply for that benefit IMHO it is a waste of money. Personally the special dining benefit doesn't entice me either. I have found the food on HAL to be very good regardless of the venue and do not object to the company of others. BTW, again IMHO, the laundry service on HAL beats Princess hands down.

We docked at Havensight early 2020 and then again this year 2022 2 times all on HAL. Yes, I've done the sky-ride, it was okay and the view is awesome. I'd plan on spending at least a little bit of time to enjoy that view but if you want to get right back on that is allowed
