mcrcruiser Posted May 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Wondering if HAL is offering the HIA plan including the ppd gratuities on Koningsdam for Hawaii cruises ? Does any one know if this is the case ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted May 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2023 HIA with the gratuities usually comes up only as an early booking bonus. I'm not sure what constitutes "early." Maybe 2-3 months after the cruise is listed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotpony Posted May 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I learned last trip that HAL offers upgraded HIA on some cruises as well (but I'm not sure if it's only when booked onboard). The "extra" HIA included gratuities, upgraded internet, and the upgraded drinks package. as well as the excursion/dining packages. This is a fantastic value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopree Posted May 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2023 There are Hawaiian cruises for late 2024 and early 2025 that have an early booking bonus HIA package. This package includes among other things gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipeeinthepools Posted May 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) HAL ran a special last July where the HIA package included gratuities and we re-booked our 35-day trip on the Koningsdam for Hawaii and the Pacific islands in February 2024 Edited May 3, 2023 by Ipeeinthepools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
