Does anyone have experience with organizing a "group" cruise on HAL and the Group Advantage Program? Can you tell me how GAP points are earned? I have read the two page brochure from the HAL site, and while it lists how many GAP points are required for listed benefits, it doesn't tell you how the GAP points are earned/calculated.

Thank you for any information you have on this topic.

As a TA, I can tell you that Holland assigns GAP points on a sailing to sailing basis. I have had many groups with as many as 10 GAP points and some with as few as 4. It's totally up to HAL groups and you can't add additional points to whatever they have assigned to that sailing. Usually the more expensive and longer itineraries have the most GAP points.

DAMTXCruiser,
Thank you for the information. I assumed that points would be earned pursuant to a formula based on the size of your group and the $$ spent for cabins.

What you are referring to are tour conductor credits, not gap points.

If you are not working with an agent, you need to contact HAL's group department.
