Overhead Fred Posted September 5, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Question - How do I see how many cruise days I have been credited with? Log into the HAL web site and go to "my mariner status" if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted September 6, 2018 #27 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Log into the HAL web site and go to "my mariner status" if I remember correctlyOn the new site it's not intuitive. After logging in you have to go to Already Booked (even if you're not) then My Account (not Mariner Society) then My Mariner Status. If you can get into the old site with https://www.hollandamerica.com/?ASCookie=RSOrigin it's not hidden below Already Booked. You simply log in, go to My Account and click My Mariner Status on the left side. Edited September 6, 2018 by catl331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 6, 2018 #28 Share Posted September 6, 2018 As far as being creatively greedy goes, on another board, someone with 100 shares of stock with both names on it want to split into two cabins (with others) and get shareholder OBC for both cabins.

Cruzin with BQ & CQ Posted September 6, 2018 #29 Share Posted September 6, 2018 You know what I wonder about: When port charges are refunded, for whatever reason, the credit goes on your shipboard account essentially reducing what you have spent. A reduction for something that never was counted to begin with? I don’t really know, but just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port credits are just that, credits against your final bill - they do not decrease the total of your spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refunded port charges specifically reduced my onboard spending total costing me 1 mariner day. Maybe policy changed in the last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not be dinged in my opinion. It’s worth a phone call or email to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your MARINER STATUS on the HAL website. It shows the number of days you earned for each cruise you have taken. Plus it breaks it down to show purchase days.

Not as far as I know; I have used Flight Ease. The Flight Ease purchase is part of your fare, and none of that counts toward Mariner Days. The only thing that does count is charges against your on-board account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Girl Posted November 10, 2019 #39 Share Posted November 10, 2019 On 9/2/2018 at 8:36 PM, richwmn said: It will depend on the State, County and sometimes other sales taxes for the port. Example: Fort Lauderdale, 7% pr $2.80 Miami, 6% or $2,40 Seattle, 10.1% or $4.04 If you request the bottle be delivered "at sea" these taxes will not be due, but the bottle will normally be in your cabin when you arrive. And Tampa -8-1/2%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my last cruise, I earned 6 on-board spending points with a total bill of only $300. I'm not complaining but to this day, I don't know how I earned those 6 points. Point is, I think any question including the OP's is a good question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final bill usually does not equal the total onboard spending due to credits, rebates, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did have the SBP so maybe I drank $1800 worth of booze and coffee. Either way, it's not clear anywhere in HAL's guidelines how I earned 6 points.

Djptcp Posted November 12, 2019 #43 Share Posted November 12, 2019 $300 to add an extra cruise day and we are still bewildered how we accrued 4 cruise days on our Feb. Oosterdam cruise. We didn't spend anywhere near $1200 while on the cruise even when we added up the allowable items. Our final bill was only $400. Still scratching our heads on that one. Istrong - you can see the number of extra cruise days on each cruise in your HAL account on their website. Select Already Booked, then My Account, then My Mariner Status, then Cruise History. You will see each cruise with the number of actual cruise days, Suite Bonus and Extra Cruise Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had your problem! I never wonder why I have so many. In fact, I am always wondering why I don’t. I am still fighting for some suite day credits. Maybe I’ll give them a call today.

Did you pre-purchase anything? (Tours, beverages, etc.) If so, that amount is added to the $400 you spent on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
