Anyone tried booking?

[Lisa616]

Is it just me..or is anyone else having trouble booking a HAL cruise? I haven't been able to do it on the webiste, or any other online agency? Strange. Also, for any HAL experts out there..Is it early to book for Feb. 2006. I'm wondering if we should wait a few months for maybe a promo or something? What do you think? Thanks!

I would advise you to call HAL at 877-SAIL-HAL or call a TA rather than booking strictly online. We have already booked a cruise for 10/06 with HAL. I believe most 2/2006 cruises are available for booking presently. It's best to talk to a human when booking a cruise so you can get your dining room preference and the room you choose.

Given the current upswing in sales in the cruise industry, I am not sure I'd wait for possible promotions. You can always contact your TA later if a promotion is run to get the credit.

Yesterday I tried checking with my online TA and the system wouldn't accept any inquiries. I tried again just now and it worked fine. Give it another try. susan.

Ditto to that. It seems everything has changed and it is much harder to find last minute deals. Cruise ships are filling up fast and the prices keep going up. :(
