TheLizardHouse Posted August 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Currently on the NA in Juneau, and from our perspective at least, all goes well. There are around 1200 pax, lovely staff and food, and reasonable compliance with mask wearing. After HAL made a huge deal of the Have it all and more’ offer, it seems they are not honouring it. Service staff onboard don’t know about it, and a Manager told me, it was only being trialled on the Westerdam. We both got a notice on Navigator, and I got a seperate email as well. A lot of fanfare, for a promise that isn’t being delivered. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted August 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Oh goodness. We have the "HIA" on our cruise next month. Can you give details as to what is NOT being honored (drinks, internet, specialty meals, excursion $)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizardHouse Posted August 4, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) This was a promotion extra to HIA. The ‘and more’ part, was that for all beverages over $11 you would only be charged the difference in the price, rather than the full price - which is apparently the current arrangement with HAL. I had set my sights on a $14 French rose, but wait staff haven’t heard about this deal. HAL make these promises . . .

Rare Mary229 Posted August 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Are you sure? I know a lot was made on this board but I don’t recall it on the website. It was an only Alaska thing and I understood it to be a test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizardHouse Posted August 4, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted August 4, 2022 This was on Navigator and sent out in a seperate email, I never saw it on the website. I ended up speaking to a beverage manager today, who said it was just for the Westerdam. 🤷♀️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it All gives you just about everything except gratuities. 15 drinks, WIFI, specialty restaurants, excursion money. Have used it many times this year and always got everything.

Have used it many times this year and always got everything. I understand. There was an “and more” program where you paid only the difference between included drinks and more expensive drinks. Usually with the HIA if you order something above $11 you pay 100% of the price not just the difference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The and more right now applies to getting gratuities added to the HIA package. Hopefully they are working on that drink thing but I haven't seen any sign of that yet. It's the norm on other lines so I bet they will do it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't heard of "and more" but paying the difference sounds good and in line with what several other cruise lines do. Hope the left hand of corporate and right hand of ship operations meet on this soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was HAL then, depending on the wording of the email, I would be insisting that they honour it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at your confirmation invoice and scroll to the bottom you should see your included perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizardHouse Posted August 4, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just did. Apparently it doesn’t start until the next voyage, which is a different answer to the what the beverage Manager said yesterday. It’s poor communication to send this message out to everyone, without further explaining what the details are. A small glitch, in a nice cruise however. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
