I got an offer from hA L

i got an email offering me a cruise to Alaska for free for an inside cabin for July or August .Yes thank you but I cannot accept ...Small print ...519$ for OV ....1120$ Pp for balcony plus between 519-525 taxes and charges ...so how is this a bargain or freebie .....lol

On on line vacation site its cheaper than that ...so who are they kidding ???

If you are going to say its a bargain ...make it a real one

Ladt year you offered me a great cruise on Eurodam .....loved it ...like they say play it again Sam ...That was a GREAT offer so more like that one please

Goes to show you how different people like different things.

If I were offered an inside cabin to Alaska---in July or August, at that!:hearteyes:---for no fare, only pay taxes and port charges, I would be all over that before anyone else had the time to say Yesss!!!!!

Heck, at that price, I'll take two!

 

 

Who is the e-mail from? HAL a TA?

Your thread title says Hal but you don't mention which ship they are offeing to give you? :)

I would take the inside for free too, if it was somewhere that wasn't a long flight for me (which discounts Alaska!)

Got the same thing.Interior was free. Oceanview started at $399. Sticker price on HAL website starts at $799 for an inside. I called HAL and they swore no hidden fees. We booked an inside for $402 tax and port fees. Another $600 to fly to Seattle. So, for a little over $1000, we got a 2 week Alaskan Cruise!

Congratulations -- are you on the 14 day Amsterdam cruise?

If so -- that is a great cruise.

Wow..Great Price! !:cool:

If this was an offer to those who know they are members of a small group, such as residents of a particular state, people with many Mariner stars, casino regulars, etc., would those of you who received it so indicate (not necessarily which small group, but just that it was a small group), so the rest of us won't get all excited and flood the HAL switchboard?

Sounds like a casino promotion. A friend of mine gets them now and then (none for me!).

That is great Congratulations.

I wish I had that offer. I have been eyeing a two week cruise to disconnect from work. Le Sigh.

Lots of missing info here....

Was a casino offer. Haven't sailed Holland in years. Have too many cruises booked to take advantage of this offer. Also the flights are the cost of another cruise. But I do hope Holland continues to offer them.

Does HAL own the casinos on its ships or is it part of Casinos at Sea or other company?

It's part of a group. They take care of all of the CCL ships.

We got this Casino offer also, and at first thought it was too good to be true. We have now booked a Neptune Suite to Alaska in July, a $7000 price for $1100!!! The insurance rate was also based on the $1100. While I was on the internet, I literally watched the suites sell, and disappear from the deck plans. Looking forward to the cruise!

That's a great deal! We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam a few years ago and there was quite a big casino contingent.

Correction, $402 each so $804 tax and port charges + 600 round trip air from Sacramento for a total of $1404.

16 cruises and never had an inside room.

We did that cruise twice.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Sounds wonderful. I may have to take up gambling! Do you have to gamble a lot to qualify?

Can you please explain what a "casino promotion" is? I need to get on that list! :)

Next cruise I am hitting the casino!! :cool:

I don't understand any of this. How does it work to get these low fares?
