cruisersMandW Posted May 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2021 We're hoping to do a world cruise in the not too distant future. I was wondering if anyone could give me an approximation of the cost for a neptune. The HAL site shows it sold out with no pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oofroggie Posted May 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The Zaandam only has 2 SB and 26 SA so for the 2022 world cruise it very well be sold out. To be sure call HAL or your travel agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted May 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2021 And those on the last WC cruise get first crack at their room for the next WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the Grand Voyages usually did not open until 18 months before sailing, which is usually sometime in June. As previously remarked, the Sold Outs might be the result of prior WC cruisers claiming their pre-bookings choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anybody is talking 2023 WC here...THAT would be opening next month, if they are following the 18 month rule. I actually think the world cruise opens up a bit sooner than that...maybe 20-22 months ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted May 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The 2023 World cruise has been bookable for a few months. Can’t remember exactly when it opened for sale, but due to the interruption/cancellation of both 2020 & 2021 World Cruises was opened for bookings MUCH earlier than normal. All suites and insides are sold out. Limited ocean views are available. If Neptune’s were bookable you’d be looking at $85-90K per person + tax for the 2023 voyage. There is usually an early payment discount, 5% if memory serves. IF the 2022 World Cruise happens those onboard will get first crack at the 2024 sailing by putting in placeholder deposits. Final 2024 itinerary would be announced sometime after the 2022 cruise ends, then those with placeholder deposits will be contacted with final pricing and first right of refusal to confirm the sailing. Only then will the full Voyage goon sale to the general public. Usually that happens sometime between late May to Early July. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandiego1 Posted May 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I created a spreadsheet when the 2023 WC 1st opened for booking. Many of the Vista suites categories were sold out as was all of the Neptune suites. So I wasn't able to get pricing on them. I got pricing from the the big box store website and included their OBC (I believe it is now a gift card). HAL prices are very similar without the OBC. Other TAs have better pricing. These prices are for 2 people. Inside Cost OBC Net I $0 J $52,028 $4,135 $47,893 K $51,628 $4,110 $47,518 L $51,228 $4,060 $47,168 M $50,828 $4,015 $46,813 MM $0 N $0 Guarantee $0 Ocean Cost OBC Net C $70,628 $5,915 $64,713 D $69,628 $5,820 $63,808 DA $68,628 $5,725 $62,903 DD $0 E $66,428 $5,510 $60,918 EE $65,228 $5,390 $59,838 F $0 FF $59,428 $4,845 $54,583 G $58,628 $4,775 $53,853 H $57,828 $4,680 $53,148 HH $54,028 $4,325 $49,703 Guarantee $0 Balcony Cost OBC Net A $109,028 $9,550 $99,478 AA $107,028 $9,360 $97,668 B $104,028 $9,075 $94,953 BB n/a BC n/a Guarantee $0 Neptune Cost OBC Net SA $0 $0 SB $0 $0 Guarantee $0 $0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for correcting me. 3% is the amount for early payment on all Grand Voyages.

RuthC Posted May 4, 2021 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2021 5 minutes ago, OVgirl said: Do Mariner star benefits apply on a WC? The 5* benefits I asked for were available to me on the segments I took on the 2019 World Cruise. I got the free laundry perq, as well as the free 5* Pinnacle dinners, and the 50% discount on additional Pinnacle dinners. I don't remember asking for the free spa day. Those are all the perqs I normally ask for. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get a free spa day in addtion to all the other stuff Ruth mentioned. One big change is that they will upgrade your perks mid cruise on a Grand Voyage. Normally you have to wait until your next cruise to enjoy the new perks. Over 80% of the ship is 4 star or above, so priority tendering has less value than it does on other cruises.

KirkNC Posted May 4, 2021 #14 Share Posted May 4, 2021 There is no priority tendering unless you are in a suite or above. Tendering is on a ticket basis first come first serve though in 2020 they did try and give the 4&5 star Mariners some priority over the rest. On stops like Easter Island or the Falklands people lined up as early as 5:00 am for tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman93 Posted May 5, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2021 So if a Neptune Suite is $170k, how much is the Pinnacle Suite? Usually the PS is roughly twice the price of an SA, but I have to think they could charge almost any price they want and the PS would sell on a world cruise. And for all I know, they have a waiting list a few decades long for people lined up to book the PS (no matter the price). Does anyone here know?
