HAL's Sad IT

[HUNKY]

My other half and I love Koningsdam and are looking forward to cruising on Pinnacle II (Nieuw Statendam). Although I don't have trouble with the website, I'm amused by the HOURLY emails regarding an EXC tour left in my cart.

 

In the past two days I've received over 36 "notification" emails.

 

I'm ready to pay for the shorex once HAL offers a discount! [emoji3]

 

Maybe I should remove it from my cart...

HAL's website is so bad they should be embarrrassed and/or ashamed but they do not em to care as they know how bad it is yet they do nothing to improve it. That speaks very poorly about them and they shrug their shoulders at us. A Big So what to us !

I wouldn't be expecting a discount on the tour.

[sail7seas]

I agree it is unlikely you will get a discount on the tour..

[awhcruiser]

Why would you get one?

Of all the HAL excursions we have booked, none were ever discounted.

Definitely take your excursion off your "wish" and hopefully the e-mails will stop.

I have never seen HAL offer limited time discounts on Shore Excursions like Celebrity and Royal have started doing - just not part of their revenue strategy. I would go ahead and book now if you really want to do it.

We have no such issues with unwanted HAL e-mails. Why? We do not book our cruises directly with HAL and have politely told our PCC not to "bug us." And we seldom to ever purchase any HAL excursions (why encourage them). My thinking is that HAL should simply increase the price of all their excursions by 50%. It will enhance the bottom line (we are CCL stockholders) and those that prefer HAL excursions will continue the to pay the price. Otherwise they would have to either book a private tour or actually do something on their own.

HAL's website is not bad.

 

It is pathetic.

I have seen discounts on excursions only once. It was in 2016 and part of a "View and Verandah" promotion. It was a discount on only select excursions and was only about $5-10.

I thought I remembered that, too, ScrapNana -- we booked a Panama transit with some ShoreX which had that promotion, but we had to cancel the trip anyway.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We have done quite a few full Panama transit cruises and not one excursion was ever discounted.

We have had discount codes for shore excursions in the past, but not for the current booking. It was a code you could use for 10% off.

I also had a promotion for a discount on shore excursions. It was very limited as to the time frame you had to book the excursions. I think I had to book the excursions well in advance and the discount ended 6 months or so before the cruise.

I believe the OP is being sarcastic on getting a discount.

[DaveOKC]

Once I had a booking that included discounted tours, but with only a 5-10% off and some at no discount. When I looked into the tours, it seemed liked they were only discounting the less popular ones.
