Since HAL site is down, need info...

What is the Explore 4 other than the drink package (don't drink enough), Pinacle Grill (we're 5* so get 2 anyway), ???

 

I think it's going to be more cost effective to NOT have it, but wanted to verify...

Just signed in to the website. It is NOT down......

I was able to get into HAL's site.

Signature Beverage Package

Free Pinnacle dinner

3rd/4th person in the cabin free

$200 shipboard credit when you book a suite.

Not worth it to us as we do not drink a lot. And we also get the 2 free dinners as 5 star mariners.

This is what I am seeing: Includes: Signature Beverage Package, Pinnacle Grill Dinner, 50% reduced deposit and Free or reduced fares for 3rd/4th guests. Bonus offer for suites: receive the above plus US$200 onboard spending money!

Thank you...pretty much what I thought...no value to me. Appreciate the info. HAL site keeps trying to load and load and load all the junk about the Nieuw Statendam...

The HAL site isn't working for me either. Just spinning circles. One page had 18 spinning circles of death.

The HAL site hangs on Firefox, but loads fine on Chrome.

 

FWIW, we booked Explore 4 for ourselves and non-E4 for my DFIL. His fare was due, 100% non refundable are the time of booking. He's in a VA, paying single supplement (2x fare, less port taxes and fees on guest 2.)

 

Our final payment is not due until September 17th. I'm not saying that they're encouraging drinking, but...

 

The E4 fare allows us to get the Amex Platinum OBC. The non-E4 fare is not eligible for the Amex OBC.

3rd/4th guest are reduced or free. The E4 sailing I'm looking at is definitely not free for No 3 or No 4.

I don't see the Amex offer in my account. Do you have a link?

[Krazy Kruizers]

I have never seen the AMEX shipboard credit on HAL's site.

It only shows up on our confirmation from our TA.

It's not an offer in the Amex offers section of the website, it's part of the Platinum Card Travel Benefits. You need a personal or corporate Platinum card or a Centurion (Black) card. It's applied automatically if you book through Amex travel or a participating travel agent. (Our TA is an Amex agency. We don't book directly through Amex for cruises.)

 

KK is correct. You won't see it's on the HAL site. Your TA will see it. It's applied to once you make final payment.

 

Not all fares will qualify. In our case, our room will Explore 4 is eligible, but DFIL's room at the non-E4 rate is not.

 

The OBC is only for the straight Amex cards, not the co-branded ones.

Ahh okay. Thank you both.
