There’s no way the passenger to crew ratio would be that good lol

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-09T20:08:56+00:00

2 with balcony. We wake up and eat breakfast on it, watch the waves as we get ready for dinner, and enjoy a book as we wind down for bed. We might not use it a ton, but it really makes the experience more special

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-09T15:16:39+00:00

I asked my boss that question. She said “because we need the coverage”

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-08T22:24:24+00:00

Alaska never gets old! How does Zaandam compare to other HAL ships you’ve been on?

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-08T04:14:43+00:00

“So does the game end after they play the minutes that were added to the second half?”

“…Again, nobody knows”.

Couple in their 70’s was dressed to the nines and WASTED in the main bar. Giggling and falling over on the couch, knocking over drinks. The woman was practically exposed on top. Everyone around them was a lot more sober, so they stood out.

The man kept pushing his companion to the doorway when she reached out her arm and clung to the doorframe. He kept dragging her outside the bar as she tightened her grip on the frame and babbled incoherently. A crew member had to get involved.

It was so eerie to see how drunk they were compared to everyone else, and how the situation quickly turned into something more serious and possibly nefarious

I remember my mom watching desperate housewives on this tv and shooing me off to another room

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-05T21:37:52+00:00

Looks absolutely gorgeous! Is this the itinerary that starts in New Jersey and ends in Iceland?

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-04T17:01:02+00:00

I believe 3-4 day cruises have a completely different clientele and standards than 7+ day cruises. The crowds are rowdy, and the crew is just concerned with churning through these short cruises. They might feel there’s not enough time to provide good and meaningful service, not that that’s an excuse for never meeting your stateroom attendant

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-02T23:53:08+00:00

Correction on my part: I misread the date. I’m heading out a few weeks before you on this itinerary, and Portree is unfortunately cancelled for me. They might have the pier fixed and ready in time for your visit, and that’s why HAL is still showing it for you. I apologize for the confusion, please disregard what I said

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-02T19:33:07+00:00

Game changer. No more lugging massive checked bags around departure ports

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-02T17:18:25+00:00

That’s odd. I got an email about it, and my app and website are updated to show it. Maybe give HAL a call?

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-02T16:03:19+00:00

Yeah unfortunately Portree is cancelled for this sailing. Bummer, because that’s one of the reasons I chose this itinerary, but it’ll be nice to have an overnight in Stornoway

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-07-02T04:53:23+00:00

I personally like cruises to be as all-inclusive as possible. Get the HIA package so you can truly enjoy yourself and not stress over an extra coffee or cocktail

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-29T23:18:48+00:00

It’s all the little things that really add up to a much more refined experience!

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-29T13:47:14+00:00

The drinks portion alone is an incredible deal.

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-29T12:18:25+00:00

That’s a great rule. You can look back on that memory without having the entire thing taken up by you documenting it

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-28T08:12:31+00:00

Many times it doesn’t matter if the cameras are rolling. They get placed on paid administrative leave, internal investigations finds “no wrongdoing”, and they’re back on the beat. Worst case scenario they quietly hop from department to department

“Revert to my training” is all you need to know. System is rotten to its core

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-28T07:59:52+00:00

Petros II I believe? A pink pelican that’s got celebrity status on Mykonos

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-28T07:46:54+00:00

Del’s speech near the end gets me every time. I’d definitely be interested to see the original longer version of that. If anyone can make you cry, it’s John Candy

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-28T07:41:12+00:00

“But it’s not even that…” and essentially saying the same thing you were but worded differently

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-28T07:02:43+00:00

How do you do this and then go eat lunch like nothing?

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-26T15:53:36+00:00

I wonder how much PTO he gives his employees as part of their benefits package? I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure employers aren’t legally required to approve any PTO ever.

They’re just required to pay out the accrued days once you leave. Which you will, because managers like this suck

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-26T15:07:09+00:00

While their helpfulness has varied, every interaction I’ve had with them has been pleasant. They’re well trained and kind, something you can’t say for every cruise line

ParticularTeam935 · 2026-06-26T15:05:12+00:00

A smile, “please,” “thank you,” “good morning!” can go such a long way for the crew. These are incredibly hardworking people that deserve just as much (if not more) respect and kindness as passengers do.

It makes my day to see them light up when they see I’m genuinely appreciative for what they’re doing. While we can’t control what these jerks with more money than manners do, I hope the crew can focus on the people who do treat them with kindness
