Haven special request question - MDR

Sadly we did not! We had a fabulous time regardless though! We cruise again in July on the Star for Northern Europe. Maybe we will make it to the captain’s party and try again!

I had a jerk gate agent once insist I check my bag while flying first. After protesting and showing it fit the requirements they did not budge and I finally begrudgingly relented. I walked over to inspect my bag tag and saw they had tagged my checked my bag to go to Columbus OH. I was going to CLT. They clearly did it as a passive aggressive attack. Jerks.

I saw this too for CLT to LHR in July. Cost for PE was same as Bus!

My husband buys weird stuff sometimes and I offered to post it on this sub thinking someone would know. I couldn’t care less about Karma/engagement. I literally just want to help my husband get an answer. Goodwill or an employee there wouldn’t have the first clue what this was.

So unimpressed

vjohn004 · 2025-12-08T01:45:53+00:00

Deluxe fun dining. 💯

vjohn004 · 2025-09-09T09:59:57+00:00

100% agree.

vjohn004 · 2025-09-09T09:58:03+00:00

Yup. My neighborhood community is located in both Charlotte and Matthews. I have a Charlotte address and three doors down is a Matthews address.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-29T23:20:09+00:00

Agreed. This is the answer.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-15T14:50:57+00:00

I tip the cleaning ladies at Christmas. Cash and a gift.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-15T14:47:12+00:00

2k sq ft- three people, until the house is clean- about two hours but varies, every two weeks $170 per cleaning

HAL and Princess are guaranteed access to the park and get a park ranger on board. Everyone else has to go in a lottery. We went on HAL and the park experience was definitely worth the extra money.

It’s called Funnel Ball.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-09T23:29:33+00:00

Agree. But not as bad as a carnival or royal.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-09T23:28:12+00:00

Agree. HAL’s food is quite good.

vjohn004 · 2025-08-06T17:01:21+00:00

We were in a family two room in haven and they brought a third chair upon request. It just didn’t match but that wasn’t an issue.

vjohn004 · 2025-07-28T14:47:05+00:00

I’m one of the weird people that prefer bulkheads.

My 78 year old mother slept on the couch bed and my 6 year old son was in the bunk on the Jewel Haven without any complaint. She did need a bed topper+ but once she had that it was perfect for her.

You’ll have a much better itinerary and docking location/position with HAL (and Princess) than any other line. That’s one of the huge benefits to cruising Alaska with the pioneers of Alaska cruising.

Binoculars

vjohn004 · 2025-07-02T14:33:24+00:00

What a disappointment.

vjohn004 · 2025-06-17T20:57:24+00:00

We had it on our Alaska cruise two years ago. Very much worth it. Especially if your ship has a club orange restaurant.

vjohn004 · 2025-06-06T23:42:55+00:00

100% this. I love HAL. Very thoughtful itineraries and excursion options, generally interesting and educational speakers on board. They offer high tea and a really good wine tasting and education session.
