HAI and excursion credits

[oakridger]

@pghflyerIt may depend on when your cruise is.  Is it many months from now or next week?  Which ship? What itinerary?  There are many variables on the schedules not least of which is many ports are still readjusting for Covid shutdowns and loss of vendors and their staff.

 

I have seen shore ex both added and deleted within several days of the scheduled excursion.  I haven't ever seen HAL offer a HOHO bus.

I have. I took the 'tour', which is to say I booked the HOHO bus through the HAL Shore Excursion Office.

Thanks @RuthC!  And the bus actually let people Hop on and off at their leisure like the ones in many cities?  Or did a bus make a stop, and everyone got off while the bus waited then left again with all the pax accounted for?

It was the actual HO-HO bus that was going around the city anyway. A stop outside the pier was added that day, and the tickets were sold through the Shore Excursion Office. We got on/off at our leisure, and rejoined when the next bus came by. 
I haven't seen it often, but I haven't looked for it often, either. It was at a few ports in Europe.

Thanks @RuthC.  I will keep an eye out for that type of offering in the future.  I'm not one for most ship excursions, but I do like a HOHO bus to get that overview when I'm in a new place.
