Possible issue when purchase single ticket and HIA

[Will_Dieterich]

Purchasing a single person in a double room, so this might not happen when purchasing for 2.

 

On the selection screen for HIA or not the price for HIA was double the cost.  I figured it would work that out on the purchase screen and it had not.

So I had to purchase the cruise without the HIA and then go into drink packages and order the HIA to get the correct price.

It wasn't double HIA. HAL's website usually only shows two fares. One is nonrefundable deposit no perks. The other is refundable deposit and HIA. In between, there's "advantage fare" which you need to ask about, either with a PCC or a TA.

 

Advantage fare has a refundable deposit and is more expensive than the lowest fare, but not as expensive as the HIA fare. The difference between advantage fare and HIA fare is usually $50 per day per person. So what appeared to be double HIA was two steps up between lowest fare and HIA.
