There is a poster on another board that keeps upsetting all the HAL cruisers by stating that he has "inside" information that HAL is going to be going to "freestyle" cruising in the near future. With only one dining room I don't see how it would be possible but stranger things have happened. I'm sure that even if they were doing to change next week, until HAL was ready to publicly acknowledge such a fact phone inquiries to them would be useless. Anyone have any inside info or connections with HAL??? After lurking for a while I just had to become a part of the group. Thanks for great information.

I know who you mean and guess what? I believe he is on this board also, but he has not been making a nuisance of himself here. I really don't know what his point is unless it is just to be a **** disturber.

I for one am going to leave him alone on that other board and also on here if he starts anything as stupid as those 2 posts he started on the other board, as there is no sense in fuelling his fire.
A rumour is just that and should be taken as such.

Sympatico: I agree with you just let him have his say. If it is the same person a few things On this board he went on his first cruise in 1999. On the other board he has cruised since 1969, I tend to believe his statement on this board (1999). since he posted here first soon found out that most were to well informed so he moved to the OTHER.

Kevin - tried to e-mail you and it was returned. Have you changed your address as to what you have listed on travel page?
Yes, I also noted his contradictions.

No, I still have the same one. About a month ago I tried to e-mail you using the address you had sent me last year and it was returned also thought you might have changed or blocked. Maybe my server was down?

O2Cruise if a person has access to inside information it usually would not be limited to only one topic@! Kevin

Phoned Sympatico and they said it looks like your provider has blocked Sympatico e-mail, for some reason. He wanted to know what the message was that you received back when your e-mail to me was returned. Sympatico could be blocking your provider in return.
