? re: Anniversary sale/beverage card offer

[CJcruzer]

Am I understanding this correctly, that it is $100 beverage card per person (1st and 2nd guests in a cabin) - not $100 total for stateroom ( each person with a $50 card)....

 

Thanks.

Its two, $50 cards (or one $100 card) per cabin.

 

Its on my new booking confirmation, so I am sure this is correct.

Our last cruise they combined into one $100 Beverage card which was very awkward to share with two people not going the same place on board.

 

My confirmation today says we will receive two $50 cards.

My cruise last Dec they said 2, $50 cards, but we only got one $100 card. Go figure.

What is the Anniversary sale/ beverage card that everyone is talking about?

It's a new promotion that HAL is offering on their website. The Anniversary Sale includes free gratuities and beverage card for selected sailings. There are additional benefits if one books a suite.

We had booked a VB grade deck 4 stern cabin, 21 days, on the Oosterdam a few weeks ago. Cost was $2279 pp plus tax and port charges. We got some extra cabin credits and dinners from our TA. This week, I saw the Anniversary Sale. I went into HAL's site and checked the prices. My same cabin grade (VB) now costs $2679 pp. So, for the extra $800 for 2 persons, we would get free hotel service charges and a $100 drink card for 2 people to share. The hotel service charges come to $525 for both passengers for the 21 days. The math says that with the Anniversary Sale, we would be spending $175 more money for the same grade cabin. Simple marketing, jack up the prices and offer all kinds of free stuff. No deal here, as far as veranda cabins go.

The Anniversary sale worked in our favor to the tune of $940!! Our cabin fare increased but since this is a 48 day cruise. The gratuities would have been $1200.

I am traveling solo and have been told that I get two $50 beverage cards as it is two per cabin not necessarily one per person. Very unusual for them to do this. Solos usually pay double but don't get double benefits.
