Quick HAL refund

[CineGraphic]

We cancelled our HAL cruise last week via email with our TA, because we found a much better deal with Princess, and our deposit was back on our credit card today.

Initially, I was told that it might take 2 billing cycles, but I'm glad that wasn't the case.

"Normal" cancellations initiated by the consumer are seeing fast processing as they are automated.  It's the "abnormal" cancellations initiated by the cruiselines that are so delayed as they are manually processed.  I'm seeing this with all the cruise lines, not just HAL.  That said HAL is still one of the slowest to pay out refunds on the involuntary cancels.

We experienced the same with an Oceania and Azamara cruises, had our deposit back in less then a week.
