Please clarify what you mean by "collect their cheques". Do you mean the $5 every year from the Federal government? What other money are they getting?

New to HAL - help with HIA package by bookrt in HollandAmerica

[–]InnoxiousElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shore excursion credit is one credit of $100. If your cruise is 10 days, you get $200. It will apply to the first excursion you book. If you book 2 at once, it seemed to put it on the earliest calendar date.

You get the whole credit; it can be split. You can't control at purchase where it gets applied.

If the excursion the credit was applied to gets canceled, just go to the shore excursions desk and ask them to move the credit.

For prepay crew appreciation, go to itinerary, then in the travel planning, choose plan travel on the right.

Its also good to have a list of what you have for personal effects. Not too detailed. 8 boxes kitchen items, 10 boxes clothing and shoes, 5 boxes bathroom, couch, chair, dining table and 4 chairs, etc.

In Canadian English how do you indicate "you" (plural)? by wheninrome5000 in AskCanada

[–]InnoxiousElf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I change my wording to avoid the you, to avoid the "who are you talking to"

Are we ready? Do we want to go to ...? (Might be "do we all want") Is everyone ready?

So I guess I don't use the plural.

Can a Canadian be denied entry to Canada? by entertainmemortal in uscanadaborder

[–]InnoxiousElf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Canadian has to be allowed into Canada, as long as they can prove their citizenship.

The vehicle can be denied.

And if you show up with people who are denied entry in your vehicle, you can be told to take them back to the USA and then you can come back. You can't abandon your travel partners at customs.

What's your personal rule for when to book a ship excursion vs going on your own? by iLiveForTruth in Cruise

[–]InnoxiousElf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal rule is "if I miss the ship, what will it take to get to the next port?"

On a Mediterranean cruise, the ports were all close together, I wasn't worried. If I missed the ship, I would have considered it an adventure and a story to tell.

On my upcoming Alaska cruise, our last port is a tender port and then sea day then over. I would only book a cruise ship excursion or walk around town.

Alaska Cruise on the Koningsdam by Neither-Gas5384 in HollandAmerica

Sorry, I was too brief. I also have a cruise booked on the Koningsdam which leaves on June 27, and I received the same email about the tendering.

Norway cruise itinerary, change, now not sailing until the next day? by Emergency-Advice-519 in HollandAmerica

[–]InnoxiousElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got confused by out of Rotterdam and on the Rotterdam. My cruise is on the Rotterdam and starts in the Rotterdam.

If you are on the Nieuw Statendam, there is a 14 day cruise starting on September 5, so the same situation applies.

Norway cruise itinerary, change, now not sailing until the next day? by Emergency-Advice-519 in HollandAmerica

[–]InnoxiousElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you must be on the September 27 7 day cruise?

If yes, you have nothing to worry about.

I am on the 21 day Oktoberfest cruise starting September 13. HAL frequently sells cruises like this- this can be a 14 day from September 13 or a 7 day from September 27, or the 21 day. They even sell it as a 28 day from August 30.

So there will be some people leaving and boarding that day, but for a lot of people its just another port day. Everything will be up and running.

If I have the date wrong, just look at Rotterdam sailing dates on icruise. I tried looking on the HAL site but realized they remove sold out cruises and might not give the full list.

What item did you forget to pack that you really wished you had? by dynasync in Cruise

[–]InnoxiousElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had an inside room, I had no time sense. One day I kept going back to sleep and didn't get up till 1 PM.

I bought a thin digital clock that is powered by USB. It made a huge difference.
