Cruiser Bruiser Posted April 17, 2018 Author #101 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It took a while to find this thread....persistence baby! I had booked the April 14, 2019 cruise in a window cabin on deck 7 for @ $2400. I cancelled the cruise in October and made other cruise plans. But I enjoyed the Rotterdam so much this past January, I stared thinking about the Nieuw Statendam again. So I moved the Ncl Bliss back to late January and looked for a good week for a HAL cruise...I chose April 14th not realizing it was the same sailing I had originally booked last year.....duh. But here is what amazes me....the price. The original booking was for an outside on deck 7 overlooking the bow....for $2400 ( a single cruiser). Now I have a balcony on the Sun deck! Price is @ $ 800 less than the original cabin!!! I don’t know about you....but $800 is a big difference....will cover onboard expenses......as I owe Cruise Bruiser a beverage or two or three. So as once said in a movie long ago.....”Im back” I wish I was going to be aboard! I moved to a December 2019 sailing that was much cheaper.

Maybe even a "live feed" on the internet of the Christening Ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CineGraphic Posted November 25, 2018 #105 Share Posted November 25, 2018 We have a balcony guarantee booked for January 6th. We originally booked an inside on the Regal Princess on the same weekend, but HAL slashed prices, and we made the switch. It wasn't too hard of a decision....a balcony for the price of an inside!? This will be our first cruise with HAL, and we're excited to board and experience their newest ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that would probably put it at Spring/Summer 2019 I think it is happening in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
