kayehall Posted April 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2020 First off, I am new to Holland America. I am starting to look at Alaska cruises. Also new to Alaska. I want to cruise late in September. I am trying to price the aft cabins but they do not come up as a choice for balcony rooms. The next category is suites. So not sure where to find them on their website. Also I am looking at September 2021. It says final payment is due in June but does not say which year. Would it be 2020 or 2021? Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 23, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It will be June 2021. I see balcony cabins on the website for Eurodam. Looks like they are only doing Guarantee bookings right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKaren Posted April 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Times are changing, but typically final payment is due about 90 days prior to embarkation. Contact a local travel agent (keep the money in your community) and ask more questions. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Its been 75 days for many, many years, unless you are on a much longer, exotic cruise, when it can be 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabins aren't highlighted but if you put in a cabin number - it does come up as available. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January was Myrtle Beach, Feb was cruise and March was Hawaii. We are trying to open our summer camp but the NY weather is not cooperating!!!Oh and then Myrtle again in November. We have a convention in Seattle Sept 30 to Nov 2. I am always trying to scheme how to fit a cruise in somewhere...LOL. Drive hubby crazy!!!! But I used to be a TA so it's in the blood. Gotta go go go....Kaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that this morning but when I asked for a specific cabin, the message came back that I had timed out and to start over. I am at work so it might be firewalls blocking me. I will try from home later. Thanks, Kaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 24, 2020 #12 Share Posted April 24, 2020 When I looked in, it was "from $1699" per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a different sailing might be slightly more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may depend on your TA. We booked through our usual big-box TA, and our northern European voyage next year departs July 3, but final payment is due March 21. I asked once about this, and was told that their final payment date was two weeks ahead of HAL at the time. It's now more like 30 days or more.

Yes, TA's do impact this, as ours also collects the money 14 days prior to final payment. But HAL's policy (the OP is looking at the website, so that is what they are asking about) has been 75 days. Whether that might change is debatable, but no change (except for some particular re-bookings this summer) has not changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee2673 Posted April 24, 2020 #16 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I used to live in Binghamton and Vestal and have travelled on the Eurodam twice. Our favorite HAL restaurant is Tamarind on this ship. Not to be missed, IMHO. I've been having a hard time with HALs site. Maybe it would be better to call and book with a Pcc so you can be sure you have the cabin you want..?

vms Posted April 24, 2020 #17 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Another vote for Tamarind- it is not to be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
