Rare chrismch Posted May 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I often see price changes mentioned on this board, but it seems each time lately that I've booked a cruise about 4 months out my TA and HAL only show "call for availability and pricing" so I can't tell if there's been any changes. It's my assumption that means the cruise if reaching capacity. Am I correct? Are there any other ways to find rates? I've also checked other major name online sites. Since my upcoming cruise is a land tour & sea cruise to Alaska, even early on it was hard checking prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare chrismch Posted May 9, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks for the suggestion, but that only works for cruises, not the combined tour. I will keep this in mind for my next cruise only as another option. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbgpr Posted May 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have noticed the same thing that you have mentioned. And it is only for the cruise package that I have booked. All other prices are listed on line but my particular trip states that I need to call to get prices. I am guessing that the site recognizes my computer and has blocked the information from me. Perhaps I will use a friend's computer to test my theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have to if you use private browsing. It's a sandboxed browser session that doesn't use your saved cookies. It also means that your cookies are still available when you start browsing in normal mode again. Hope that makes sense! :) Edited May 9, 2014 by POA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
