Destiny0315 Posted February 17, 2023 #52 Share Posted February 17, 2023 https://cruiseradio.net/holland-america-poster-design-contest/ Glad to see that the 150 years tile is out there and I'm sure the design team was told to "keep it simple" but it is definitely barebones for such an important event and looks like something that could have been done on a phone app! So maybe that is why they are now looking for outside help for the poster design🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted February 17, 2023 #54 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I wonder how Stephen Card is doing, and why they haven’t gone to him. I haven’t seen him post in a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe that is why they are now looking for outside help for the poster design🤔 That tile is seriously "blah." But for HAL it has the advantage of being usable on every ship. No need for individual designs for each class. I think I was lucky that, although Eurodam said they had no tiles, my steward was able to find one, the "mermaid" version, not this new design. I followed the link you posted and recognized the poster with King Neptune on it. I have a tile based on that poster, from back when the tiles were recreating vintage advertising designs for the tile.

bigbeergut Posted February 17, 2023 #56 Share Posted February 17, 2023 So does everyone get a tile at the end of a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have one or two tiles based on his paintings of HAL ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have done this for many years. Lately, they've been having supply chain issues, so some ships don't have tiles in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a 1* Mariner, you will get a tile. To be a 1* Mariner you must have previously taken a HAL cruise or informed them of a cruise on another CCL line. As stated, some cruises are not giving tiles due to supply chain issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a really good question. I completely the first leg of a B2B and I’m on my second second leg with a new booking number. Technically I think I’m a 1 star Mariner but I doubt the system knows.

DoorCounty Posted February 17, 2023 #62 Share Posted February 17, 2023 It’s a tile! Consider yourself fortunate to cruise. Mine are in a drawer & rarely see the light of day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted February 17, 2023 #63 Share Posted February 17, 2023 No tile on the Koningsdam Hawaii sailing. We got the notice today thanking us for our loyalty and reporting that HAL has halted distribution due to “global supply chain issues” and if we “hold on to this card” they will be more than happy to offer us an extra tile” on our next sailing. I now have two of these notices from the Koningsdam, next cruise will be Westerdam in 2024. Maybe all tiles will be the same from now on? Disappointing. Maybe they could at least bring back the nightly chocolates. 🤔⛴🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no good). Why those stupid boats at the bottom. Why not the current HAL logo? Glad my tile area in my kitchen is done already and I didn't wait for this tile to be included.

I totally agree and maybe its just the angle of the photo but it looks like they shaved off the depth and made it truly now into just like an old cardboard beer coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, doesn't HAL know that all good things come in three's! 😉 I suggest to add a third ship, beautify and beef up the fonts, and add another border around the edges. Let's stick a silhouette of a ship from 1950 when my grandparents sailed on HAL. SS Ryndam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the simplicity framed by the four Delft-like corners. Sounds like we may see them on NS the first week of April. If I get around to my tray project, the white will stand out as a center tile in a sea of blue tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LoveBikes Posted February 18, 2023 #72 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just off Koningsdam this morning. No tiles but a memo of apology and promise to redeem if presented on next cruise. Suggestion. Rather than wasting the printing cost why don't they update everyone's Navigator in the Accounts section where guest can show to Guest Services to redeem. How many people will lose that card their next cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
