canadarocks Posted September 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2022 On multiple occasions I've read that "the powers that be" read these forums. Thought it would be interesting to start a thread with suggestions to HAL on -> How to maximize their Have it All shore excursion booking options. I'll start. 🙂 1) Allow two guests to combine their shore excursion credits to pre-book cabanas at Grand Turk and Amber Cove. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus their fee is only $15 per bottle after the first 2 bottles . Edited September 1, 2022 by richstowe 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect most cruise lines do this, especially something like carnival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrat Posted September 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Toot your horn more.... The artwork is stunning, but someone needs to build a brochure. Some folks like to stroll about the ship enjoying all you offer. Guest services did print me a 22 page color double sided document that gave photo and title.

Daisyloo Posted September 1, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2022 HAL does read these pages, at least some of the time. A few years ago I made a comment on these forums regarding HAL's Flight Ease. A while later I got an email from CC asking if they could give HAL my email as they would like to talk to me about my comment. I agreed and HAL contacted me. I had a nice conversation with the HAL person. So, they do read these boards. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolyn22 Posted September 1, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Please bring back some good entertainment options in the evening and ramp up things to do during the day that don’t have extra costs associated with them. I’m not saying you need Royal Caribbean level of activities and entertainment,, but on my last cruise on HAL I actually got bored. I’ve never had that happen on a cruise. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain Princess and Norwegian do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YXU AC*SE Posted September 1, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Dear HAL -- please continue to evolve your product offering to reflect your evergreening demographic and try to ignore the change-adversedness of some of your louder clientèle. [My sincere apologies to anyone who may see oneself in the latter part of my comment. 🙂 it isn't personal.] PS - More itinerary-specific regional cuisine would be awesome.
