A Signature Suite would cost $4,198 with $325 of OBC given. That gets the total cost down to $77 per person day...for a Suite! A Neptune prices out at $7418 (total for 2) with $550 of OBC which comes out to about $135 per passenger day...for a Neptune! Pretty good deal for those that still cruise on HAL. These prices do not include tips, fresh fish, etc :). Is this an error, or does it reflect what many now think of HAL? fruit for thought. Hank Mine also included tips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvertoGold Posted September 22, 2023 #31 Share Posted September 22, 2023 1 minute ago, retird said: Mine also included tips Yes, tips included on this 7 day promo. 1039 + tax of 390 CND. If air wasn't so ridiculously priced, we would book this without a thought. An interesting itinerary, great for sea day lovers. Been to all these ports, but see the 39 day with addition of NZ is not badly priced, not as good, but still very reasonable. We will be booking one or the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 22, 2023 #33 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I also was able to find the low price via an online agency. I already have a similar cruise booked on Celebrity for the same time period in 2025 (by booking BTBs) -- one day longer, better itinerary (IMO; more ports at any rate) and a ship with more entertainment. Oh, and I also booked the two legs before it as well. 😈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it truly is a fantastic price for those that enjoy HAL. Hank 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted September 22, 2023 #37 Share Posted September 22, 2023 7 hours ago, HappyInVan said: Thanks. Very very interesting. 😟 We have long suggested that folks "shop around" among some reputable high volume cruise agencies as well as checking out HAL's own site. With our HAL bookings, we have always found much better overall deals with our favorite cruise agencies. These days, all the cruise lines do a lot of business with the large travel "consortiums" (these are groups of independent agencies) and will sometimes take advantage of their clout to unload inventory. Our favorite consortium (most cruisers are not even aware of these groups which normally operate in the background) handles over $11 Billion a year in bookings, which gives you some idea of their importance to the industry.

This is the perfect example of when you see a deal you need to act fast, or at least put it on hold. Kuddos to you on a great deal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
