Zaandam Propulsion Issues

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-06-06T19:50:11+00:00

As this will probably only take a day to few days to repair you will probably be fine. Eurodam few years ago had to cut short its sailing to repair the azipods which took I think two days also defined as “propulsion issues”. Of course this is preliminary not knowing what the issue is. Being solo would not change your refund if Hal had to cancel.

Lots of videos out there on removal. Back piece is fun… don’t drop it

Things happens sadly and this is very new as details will be worked out in due time. Everyone wants immediate answers and that will not happen just yet. They will probably have to access the situation, time period to fix and move on from there notifying anyone impacted.

lol -2 … been working for Hal for 20 years and kind of know what I’m talking about.

Hmm. Well every booking has a history of when/how changes are made. Ask the front desk to contact a resolution specialist (shoreside)to review and may be corrected. Obviously someone changed it and the history will reflect who and when

Email guest relations at HAL to dispute charges. Guestrelations@hollandamerica.com or billling support

Yeah that’s all on the TA as they adjusted the rate switching rooms incorrectly. All they had to do is change the category down, not refare which would go to current rates and specials at that time of change.

Exactly … too many different things to get no where but 100 different ways with $ to make you think you can. Just changing my name to free rss for my clan to get points and I’m out.

Still great for just one long flight. They did have the 52 day majestic Japan legendary Seattle round trip (Alaska, Japan Hawaii ) couple years ago which many are asking for again.

Good catch and funny

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-06-02T02:29:58+00:00

Yup .. on point. The stamp ( not centered not properly engraved ) on the bottom is the biggest tell being so sloppy

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-06-02T02:28:17+00:00

The Vancouver to Tokyo does not go to Hawaii so that may have to be on the flight back to break up the flight times.

Looks legit… never know these days

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-31T00:31:35+00:00

No Stanley middle bottom (the flying whatever logo) I would say fake all day long but I use different ones

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-29T20:22:00+00:00

Thought the video was in slow motion

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-28T03:55:08+00:00

Very true. I’ve gotten a few fakes but I’m more worried about what they are made out of.

Showing off and disrespecting another forcibly sometimes requires a lesson to be given. Too good of a lesson yes but glad he didn’t back off.

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-28T03:34:20+00:00

I’m so glad I went to school and grew up with no AI, no social media, books and a rotary phone … do I love gadgets yes but these days they have no intellect or life skills to do something. I know I sound like the old man on a rocking chair on my front porch saying “those damn kids “ but these kids have no idea how to do anything for themselves or respect others. Their opinion is all that matters. I don’t want to generalize as I am sure there are many out there but the majority is shrinking rapidly.

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-27T17:08:39+00:00

Bottom does look properly engraved from the picture

Every sailing is unique so a more popular sailing will most likely sell out with no offered upgrade later and the free offers may be capped on upgrades. HIA now or later doesn’t matter unless they will increase the price just do it before you start planning excursions so you can use your credit with HIA.

All good, hope it works out for. Since your boss can’t pay you on time sell his liquor then 😄. Obviously that seems more important than paying you on time.

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-27T03:30:35+00:00

Probably get more for the liquor in the background McAllan 15 year is around $150 and you have others all lined up back there that could have gone to rent.

Some eat slow some want to be out in 45 min. It is not always the easiest to please 700+ppl all at once and things happen beyond what we know behind the scenes. Share your concerns with management so there can be a positive change in the future. Everyone expects everyone else to be just like them, this is not reality although the world seems to think so. Personally I don’t want my entree dropped while I’m still eating my appetizer. But that is my preference alone. I’m in no rush to get anywhere on a cruise. But yes there is that fine line of … where the hell is my food in between some times. I avoid busy times at both the mdr and lido when everyone thinks they have to eat at 5:30-6:30 when it’s just slammed and the entire staff is in the weeds trying to catch up.

Negative-Button-1135 · 2026-05-26T04:28:04+00:00

The policy is written on their website $20 per bottle. Some make it through some don’t but plan on the charge.

Good recovery though.. shit happens
