Explore4 50% reduced Deposit

[richarduk]

Is it standard that TA's reduced their deposits by 50% in line with this promotion or is it only if you book direct with HAL? Thanks.

Deposits, no matter with whom you make your reservation, are reduced by 50% with the Explore4 promotion. Just like all the other features of the promotion are all the same either booking through HAL or a TA.

Wondering what time this promotion will hit the HAL site...........

[EbayCruiser]

I didn't see it listed on the website but I am planning on calling HAL as soon as they open up. My cruise in Jan. has not gone up and it is supposed to be eligible for the Explore4.

 

We shall see.

Please let us know Ebay....

I posted on the other thread and thought I was replying to this one.

 

I called HAL this morning and at first the agent said my cruise did not qualify for Explore4. In other words, it was still showing the same pricing on their website (hadn't gone up in price so I was hopeful). Then when she looked further, she said to add Explore4 would cost $600 more for the two of us.

 

I don't see how Explore4 can ever be a good deal unless you are "heavy" drinkers. We do not drink alcoholic beverages so it would just be bottled water, soda, specialty coffee's etc. & dinner for two at Pinnacle - not worth $600 to us.

 

Oh well, we'll pass on this one.

Me, too. Nothing at all so far 10:30 EDST. Same price is showing. No mention of Explore4 just the previous sale on 2015 sailings.

You have to call HAL or your TA to add the Explore4 with the new pricing.

Thanks. I have a feeling the price will be too high, especially since I travel solo and would be paying for two people.
