DaveOKC Posted June 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2019 We have three cruise booked and I noticed that all three had price declines today. I will check on Monday with my HAL PCC to see if I should refare any of them, as it depends on what "perks" we would lose. Everyone should check out their bookings just to be sure IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuAnn Posted June 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yes...I was just able to save $200.00 on a future cruise and add the Signature Beverage Package!! Score!! LuAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taba Posted June 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2019 You may want to call this weekend if any of them qualify for the Oceans of extras promotion. The promotion ends tomorrow. Even if your PCC is not there, someone at HAL can help you today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanEcosse Posted July 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Might want to check your cruise pricing. Thank you. I did and contacted my TA. Saved a bundle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfocruiser Posted July 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I would check again today, July 1, as a prepaid gratuities promotion has been added not as a separate promotion but in addition to existing promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to add the prepaid gratuities but lost the early booking bonus which included the SBP. I was okay with that since, for us, the value is greater with free grats. Our fares did not change. The free grats showed on the big box TA site; I couldn't find it on the HAL website. Edited July 1, 2019 by Alberta Quilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just refared my April 2020 7 day cruise and got the free grats. Lost about $400 pp in "perks" (mostly OBC) but added free grats (value $112 pp) and saved $350 in cash. IMO, a good trade, especially since I would rather have cash in my pocket than OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJcruzer Posted July 2, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I just re-fared my November 2020 cruise, I had SBP (not really interested in it, but it was added on last promo at no extra fare. ) Now I dropped the SBP package, added prepaid grats. My fare went up $1 per person. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your heads up. I think I missed it. I have been watching a cruise and last looked Friday. Today it showed a lot less, but when I went to the next screen the price increased probably because of the free grats but the increase was huge! So hope you can still get it tomorrow. These things are moving targets! Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted July 3, 2019 #23 Share Posted July 3, 2019 We were able to upgrade from a Signature Suite to Neptune Suite guarantee, keep all our OBC, and pay almost $2,000 less. Happy day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
