Ileneilene123 Posted April 15 #7179 Share Posted April 15 I am looking for a link to purchase shipboard credit (OBC). I have been having a lot of trouble with the HAL website so a direct link would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would like to ask you a question: Why would you want to purchase OBC? Do you get a discount or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you can use HAL gift cards to pay your bill onboard, but I haven't done that myself. https://www.hollandamerica.com/en/us/plan-a-cruise/giftcard : "Gift card funds are in US Dollars and can be applied to bookings in US Dollars and any pre-cruise or onboard purchase." I know that you can use them to pay for your cruise if your TA is willing to deal with them. I have done that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you — all good suggestions, but this time I would like to purchase shipboard credit with the gift cards. Would like to do this online, otherwise I’ll give HAL a call. Thx.

I can't provide a general link because you have to be logged in and purchase thru your booking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I have been unable to access Manage My Booking online. It’s been a continuing issue. But at least now I know how to purchase OBC once I am able to fix that! Thx.

This is our first cruise & it’s been very difficult not to be able get access our account or manage our cruise. I know we are not alone, but still very frustrating. Many people have posted various fixes here on CC and elsewhere and so far none of those have worked for us. We are a group of 4 with 2 different bookings and not one of us can get in on any of our devices. I may ask my daughter who’s in her 20’s to give it a try — she’s always been the IT department for our family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tupper10 Posted April 15 #7193 Share Posted April 15 We have the HIA package and I am wondering how to use it to get waters in our stateroom. Do I have to go to the bars for bottled water and then bring it back to our room? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t hit on the right solution yet. Trying a new browser didn’t work for me, unfortunately. Edited April 15 by Ileneilene123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always picked up a couple on our way back to the room at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed 🤞 I have had trouble getting to my bookings by using the Manage Your Bookings link. What works for me, at least for now, is logging into the HAL website, going to the top right corner and clicking on My Account. The screen that comes up has 3 options: My Profile, My Bookings, and My Cruise History. I click on My Bookings then click on the Bookings number of the cruise I want to manage and it takes me to the page with itinerary, shore excursions, and the rest of the options for that cruise. I'm using Safari on a Mac. GOOD LUCK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am able to go to Manage My Cruise but cannot open anything once I select a booking . I have what has been described on CC as a “white screen” problem. Everything opens to a blank white screen. There’s a current thread going on this issue that I’ve been following and I also found an older post with suggestions that I will try tonite. Ironically, the Make a Payment link works just fine. I was able to pay the balance for the cruise. No problem. 🤦🏼♀️ Edited April 15 by Ileneilene123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted April 15 #7200 Share Posted April 15 (edited) @Ileneilene123 Something to keep in mind: If you pay with HAL gift cards and you have unused OBC left, you will get any refund back on HAL gift cards. Safe Travels! Edited April 16 by SUESEABE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
