salt water in my veins Posted August 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2021 A few mins ago Hal changed our final payment date, from Oct 21st to Sept 20th. Others on the roll call, also say the same thing. Very unfortunate for those who have been paying, this last day or two. We almost paid, but played telephone tag with our pcc.

Rare Vict0riann Posted August 20, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Wish they had postponed ours, too. Paid two days ago, now we don't even know if it will be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted August 20, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2021 While I’m not going on a ta I had to pay mine at the usual 90 days. Who knows if mine will be going either as it’s not on a ship that’s currently sailing. I would have loved to have waited until 60 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here HAL ate it at 90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted August 20, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Actually, on Monday it was showing penalties were going to start on August 21st so you had till the 20th to purchase insurance and make final. Suddenly today it showed final due and Penalties starting August 20th. If you wanted to cancel you would have had to do it today. Although I am sure if you have a previous printed confirmation showing the 21st you would have ammunition to fight it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salt water in my veins Posted August 20, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yes, sorry. I intended to say, payment has been delayed, from Aug 21st to Sept 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for information. Today is probably a big pay date and an extension to Sept 20th is good just in case ........ We just want to be on a BHB.

Rare Mary229 Posted August 21, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 21, 2021 HAL said recently they were now going to try to delay final payment when future plans weren’t certain. Seems like a positive consumer friendly move. I am uncertain where I read that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted August 21, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Also for those interested HAL also moved the final for the TA of the Eurodam, it is now stating September 30th. I suspect they are very uncertain if these Trans Atlantics will be sailing. I think their concern is the quarantine needed for crewing upon sailing in the US and they do not want to cancel the start up in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted August 21, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2021 As long as they also change penalty dates, as at times they delay final payment but you may lose your deposit if you cancel at the new date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEDad Posted August 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hmmm - We are on the Eurodam on the 12/6/21 Panama cruise. My TA documentation showed that Final Payment due 8/25/21. I paid on Friday 8/20/21. 90 days prior is calculated at 9/6/21. i was mildly interested in the 10 day difference between 8/25 vs 9/6 - but not especially so. But now maybe I shoulda waited - I suspect. On the other hand - If they pull the plug - I would typically (Historically) get 125% FCC returned - which would not be a bad ROI (Especially since I used gift cards that got 10% on the dollar bonus to make the payment). Oh well - we shall see. There are (Hopefully) other ships/cruises in the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the final payment date is moved to Sept. 30, do penalties still begin on August 30th? Question regarding travel insurance - if you purchase travel insurance and then HAL cancels the cruise, do you lose the money spent on the insurance? Thanks!

Oh well - we shall see. There are (Hopefully) other ships/cruises in the sea. None of the Caribbean Eurodam or Rotterdam have had their final payments changed. Including the November 24th Eurodam which final is due now. Which tells me they are confident on the Caribbean sailing but not on the Trans Atlantics. BTW for FCC, it has been only in the begining they were offering 125%, that offer has been long gone for canceled cruises. In the last 8 to 10 months it has been a Move over offer keeping you pricing locked in and locked with the previous perks you may have had or FCC credit of 110% or full refund (unless you had paid for the canceled cruise with FCC) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better consumer move would have been to delay final payment before due and penalty date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
