Cailey53 Posted September 23, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It’s already on the Holland website— a Mariner OBC for an early booking bonus for 2023 Alaskan sailings. IMHO no big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOKC Posted September 23, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2021 $200 in extra OBC is nice, but I wonder how this will work. For example, what if fares drop (likely over almost 2 years), and we refare, do we lose the $200 OBC? Time will tell, but its something to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted September 23, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Is it more than Alaska? It makes the distinction not including the World Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted September 23, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I've actually been thinking about booking 2023 Alaska, so I'll take any "extra" they want to give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you lose all of your "extras" when you re-fare, so you need to add those up to see if it makes sense to change the booking. My guess is that this will be the very same thing.

Heartgrove Posted September 23, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) The amount seems to be tied to the length of cruise, not stateroom category. Our PCC always runs the numbers for us with a re-fare situation. Edited September 23, 2021 by Heartgrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking exactly. What have these executives been doing other than cashing their paychecks while the worker bees of the Home Office were laid off or fired? Not much originality or creativity has been seen by me from the "suits" during the pandemic. 1 hour ago, SilvertoGold said: Gerald Bernhoft? Now I am confused. Another name was mentioned as Mariner Society Director; now, Mr. Bernhoft's name appears. Who is in charge? Or is this the Abbott and Costello routine of "Who's on First Base"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone just got a wrong name. Gerald is still in charge of the Mariner’s Society. Heck, he posted on the HAL blog in July, 2021 - https://www.hollandamerica.com/blog/tag/gerald-bernhoft/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12cruise2 Posted September 23, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It's my opinion that HAL always wants us to buy something before we get any type of "benefit." They never give anything away for "free." It's very frustrating. Princess isn't like that--but someone at Princess told me that HAL has so many faithful cruisers that HAL doesn't have to really do anything to keep us coming back again and again. Other cruise lines have to work a little harder to keep folks coming back. Whatever benefit or enticement they offer, it always benefits HAL first, then maybe the cruiser.
