Have It All available for half price (does not include gratuities)

[IPB4IGO]

For our upcoming October cruise, HAL is offering a Have It All package for $45/day/person.

Note that if you have the HAL Cruise Protection Plan, adding HIA increases your premium, by $220 in the case of our 16-day cruise.

So wait until you get onboard and avoid the insurance boost

Somebody just told me that this HIA package is always available at this price. I guess it isn't "news"!

I was offered even a lower rate within 48 hours.  The offer came when I needed to call for a last minute potential change.  I think if you ask the right person onboard you would get a good offer.  I remember being offered Club Orange on the Koningsdam  once onboard for some very low rate

[NCTribeFan]

I added HIA to my Alaska B2B at that rate, and I added it to my Rotterdam TA for next spring.  Still considering adding it to the 2 5-night sailings I added on at the end of the TA.  I added Club Orange to those, but since I get drinks in the casino, not sure I "need" HIA for another 10 days.  Maybe I can get unopened beers during the TA and stuff my little mini-fridge full. 😄

I was offered have it all for the second week of a two week b2b.  That was on a Friday for a Sunday cruise.  Price was $50 usd per day so I'm not sure I'd count on it being discounted.  Caused all sorts of billing issues because it was last minute plus it was the koningsdam.

Someone else mentioned adding stuff to their mini bar which is a good idea if you drink more one day than another.  Why leave  anything on the table you don't need to.

What are daily HIA charges per person per cabin?   I am sure they have increased since we last cruised in 2019?

[NCTribeFan]

Is there a set rate?  I typically look at the fare (without signing in) both with and without and see what the difference is.  I'm solo, so I just divide that diff by the # nights.

Not good for 5-night cruises.  We tried. States it is not available for 6-day or less cruises.

I had the HIA added to our 35 night Kdam cruise at $50/pp/pd.  This was significantly less than booking WITH the HIA (like by $4k).  TA covered grats.  Yay!

On my October 16-day cruise:

 

[FlorenceItaly]

I just checked and my May 2023 16 day(balcony, casino offer) cruise is showing $50pp, per day.  The package would add $1600 to my reservation, and my now $99pp insurance would go up.  For us, we are going to pay as we go.

[Mary229]

For those worried about insurance it might be worth getting a Chase Sapphire card.  The limits would easily cover the above cruises.

I asked the wrong question, what I wanted to know is what are gratuity charges per person per day now?

$15.50/pp/per day for standard staterooms and $17/pp/per day for Suites (anything that has suite in its title on HAL website!)

Thank you.  They sound fair enough.

My card won't process.  Server Busy, wrong address, try another card messages.

I booked our cruise yesterday.

I was offered the 50% off but the computer won't process the purchase of the "cart"

Called HAL and 30 minutes later was told that the T/A has to process it.

Yes if you use a Travel Agent, all changes/additions go through that person.

I used a TA for our upcoming cruise, and I bought the HIA package on the HAL site two days ago.

 

We all know that HAL is the epitome of consistency.

Huh! I wasn't speaking from personal experience, haven't used a TA since 2009, not counting a mail-flyer offer that my husband booked. But the "TA-only" policy is posted on CC pretty constantly.

Yes, on some cruises it shows up in indulgences and packages.  I had it for a while as a short term offer on one cruise

fwiw...i was offered it for my May 2022 konigsdam cruise and also for my upcoming Zaandam cruise in sept

 

it's a big money maker for them and really costs them very little and may entice an extra few hudred per head from people who didn't want/wiling to pay HIA to begin with. 

 

i'm not getting it since we don't drink (at most 1-2 drinks a day...usually 0) 

 

strangely enough...for my konigsdam (even though RT YVR)...was offered it at $50USD and for zaandam $65cad... its essentially same after currency conversion but just found it interesting

for both times this was offered...it said to call HAL directly with number provided online...for my upcomming zaandam , i have option to just add it like any other gift/items you can purchase before boarding like internet or specialty dining 

[ChinaShrek]

Does anyone know if buying Have it All counts toward on board spending for extra Mariner credits?
