Taleena Posted June 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I was poking on the Navigator app today (not on a cruise currently), and saw this under 'Dining & Drinks' then 'Wine, Cocktails and Bars': For anyone who can't see the screenshot, it states that guests with the HIA package can now apply the beverage package to any glass of wine or cocktail and only pay the difference in price if that drink's price surpasses the package price limit. Awesome news if it can be confirmed! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Sounds like a fair change of policy. I think HIA has not been the outstanding success they envisioned. I look forward to seeing other adjustments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted June 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Boarding tomorrow in Trieste, Italy, and my Navigator is not showing that at all. When I go to 'Wines, cocktails and bars' all I can see is options for 'Wine Menu' 'Sommelier suite' 'Billboard Onboard' 'Rolling Stone Lounge' 'Ocean Bar' 'Lido Bar' 'Sea view Bar' etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Well, that is very good news for many of us. However, like @VMax1700I don’t see it on my Navigator app either? I get the same views he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2022 There must be changes occurring. Last week we discussed that HIA was being offered at $50 a day on booked cruises - now that has disappeared from my bookings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientWanderer Posted June 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Good news, @Taleena. Thanks for posting about it. It makes sense to do this. Nice enhancement. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Chris Posted June 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Do you have a HAL cruise booked? I wonder if that makes a difference in what is displayed. My Navigator app shows the number of days until I cruise, my itinerary with tours & specialty restaurant reservations, etc. But like VMax1700, I can’t find that screen at all. When I click a box about Have it All, it links to the HAL web page. It will be great if they make that change in policy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted June 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Wonder if that would apply to one of those very expensive 50 year old Brandy’s?😁 Edited June 12, 2022 by aliaschief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted June 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2022 No luck for me either in seeing it, I do wonder if possibly it does make a difference on what cruise is up next for you. We board Rotterdam 4 weeks from today. It absolutely would be ideal for what Tom and I both like to drink. I tried logging off and back on to see if that might make a difference. It may very well depend on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestPassage Posted June 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2022 It does apply to the 51 night HAL transpacific sailing in October. I just confirmed on my Navigator app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taleena Posted June 15, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The upcoming HAL cruise I currently have booked is September 11 on the Westerdam 7-day Alaskan Explorer. I can still see it the HIA&M offer in my Navigator app (version 4.12.0) on both my Android phone and Android tablet, so perhaps it depends on if you're using an Android or an iPhone, or maybe it's only on certain cruises. Who knows, especially when HAL is involved. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman93 Posted June 15, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I would love this change and, interestingly, it will result in HAL getting more of my money. If only drinks under $11 (or $15) are included, and anything over that will be charged at full price, I will put effort into making sure all my orders are under that threshold. But I do like nicer wines, whiskeys, etc. and would gladly pay the difference for some of those more expensive selections. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bebe08 Posted June 17, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2022 We would love the change also...we have a HAL cruise booked for Sept with the HIA. Just returned from a Celebrity cruise where we could just pay the difference for a more expensive drink. Think we spent an extra $14 the entire cruise which is far cheaper than the price to upgrade the beverage package, or paying the full cost of a more expensive drink. The only drinks we typically have that are higher priced are DH's nightly scotch other than that standard package works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingCruiser2 Posted June 17, 2022 #17 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I thought it was always that way. On our Eurodam cruise a couple months ago (you were on same trip I think), we only paid difference between $15 and whatever our drink was. However when we got a drink in souvenir cup, had to pay whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the current Navigator app version 4.12.0 referenced above but it doesn't have the "Wine, Cocktails, and Bars" category in the section noted above. In that section, mine just has the category, "Bars". Perhaps a new Navigator app version is starting to push? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it depends on what your next cruise is? We will be doing Rotterdam in Europe. Could it possibly be only certain itineraries they are testing it with? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roxybear135 Posted June 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I also have the current version and it only has the "Bars" section. For some reason, I can't view the bar menus anymore as of a couple of weeks ago. We have a cruise coming up on Wednesday out of Copenhagen, so it will be interesting to see if this policy is in place on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted June 19, 2022 #22 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I am looking at upgrading to the Elite Beverage Package from the signature in my HIA promotion. I just took a look at the description of the Elite Beverage Package and it looks as if it has changed from unlimited soft drinks and 15 alcohol drinks to the same wording as the signature package with it being a total of 15 drinks a day soft drinks and alcohol. It looks like the only difference between the two now is that elite has a $15 limit and Signature is $11. Is this correct or am I looking at something else on the web site?

john2003 Posted June 20, 2022 #23 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Just off the NA. Got a charge from someone for a higher priced drink on my account. It was the full cost they charged not the difference. They removed the charge with no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SLOTheta Posted June 25, 2022 #25 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Thank you! I was thinking about upgrading to the Elite package, but I see that this offer is on our Alaska cruise next Sunday!! Woohoo. Logged into my navigator account and saw this! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
