SilvertoGold Posted October 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Did look at the TA, our air would be $1700 pp. Some nice pricing on several cruises, would be great if the air didn't push it into the stratosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted October 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2023 What is F&B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted October 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Indeed, what is that? All I can think of is Food and Beverage, which it can't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure that the MDR dinner and breakfast alone is worth the price of the cruise fare. No? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would really like to see is a link to FlightEase to show the air pricing on the spot Thanks for posting. Have you had enough rain today here?

Airfare from YYZ to anywhere in Italy has been horrendous this year. Prices for next spring / summer / fall not much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HappyInVan Posted October 19, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Don't give up! There's a deal with your name on it. IMO, there will be many such deals from HAL in the next 18 months. After that, the future is uncertain. Grab it while they last. 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloha!!! 😁 Are the prices crossed out the original price when it is was released? If it is, and I am seeing it right, then the reduction is in the order of 30% reduction in base fare. It's a good discount , but what many get with a Casino discount when you can book early, get upgraded HIA (possibly with grats), Mariner early bonus, it is then refundable, better choice in flights etc. For folks with a Casino discount, it really drives home booking early (at least for us lowly inside cabiners) is about as good as you can get. For non-Casino folks, I guess you have to weigh that discount against more limited (higher priced) airfare and higher priced HIA (when available) with lower HIA perks. They can be a great deal if you can get to the port cheaply and aren't interested in HIA perks though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HappyInVan Posted October 26, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Scored!!! Got a Vista on the TA. For the pre-covid price of a veranda, my suite came with Cancellation protection, fees/taxes and a premium seat on Air France. Roma!!! Ciao! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
