I have learned (through this board, thank you!) that if you booked your cruise through a TA, you generally can't get information directly from HAL if you call the home office.

Does this hold true for Shore Excursions? I booked them myself online from HAL's website and now I have a question/need to change something. My TA was not involved in booking the Shore Excursions, but do I still need to have her contact HAL on my behalf or can I just call the Shore Excursions number myself? (well I know I CAN call them myself, but will they help me? :))

Best way to find out is to try:) . The shore excursion dept should be happy to help you.

I just did this yesterday. HAL was happy to help, and it didn't matter that my booking was with a TA.

Thank you both for your quick response! I'll give them a call on my lunch break.

You can also easily cancel shore excursions online thru the Booking Tool (under FOR BOOKED GUESTS on the HAL website).

And other posters are so right ... HAL will gladly help you with your shore ex questions......

You can call the shore excursions department direct. You can can also call Guest Relations direct.

Calling HAL direct will get you information on just about everything****** EXCEPT****** your cruise booking (includes air and hotels).


TA's don't receive commission on tours, etc.etc. so you can do your own thing.
