Suzanne123 Posted June 6 #1 Share Posted June 6 Can someone tell me how long the Early Booking Bonus for Alaska 2025 will be available? I would like to wait until my cruise next month to book onboard for whatever promotion they have (OBC and $100 deposit), but I don't want to lose the Early Booking Bonus. Thanks.

Cruise Suzy Posted June 6 #2 Share Posted June 6 Normally the Early Booking Bonus has been available until a year before departure or a year after the cruise was announced. However, in the T&C there is the warning that it is capacity limited and may not apply to all cruises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 6 #3 Share Posted June 6 The OBC (if your cruise qualifies) for Early booking only lasts a few months - I believe it is 3 months but not 100% sure on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted June 6 #4 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Just to confuse the customer, there are TWO Early Booking Bonuses! 🙄 One is the 'Early Booking Bonus Have It All' and the other is 'Mariner's Early Booking Bonus'. The 'Early Booking Bonus Have It All' does not appear to have a fixed end date. So, it may be removed at any time. The t&c state it is capacity driven. The 'Mariner's Early Booking Bonus' is valid for 90 days after the release of new itineraries. Edited June 6 by VMax1700 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare terrydtx Posted June 7 #6 Share Posted June 7 I wouldn't risk it going away as the Premium HIA benefits and pre-paid gratuities are by far more valuable than the onboard booking OBC and smaller deposits. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous thread, it seems that the decision was that the “Early Booking Have It All” bonus lasted until HAL decides it no longer applies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted June 7 #8 Share Posted June 7 Here is a copy of the onboard offer from April 2024. Reduced deposit and $25 OBC for 3 - 10 days or $50 OBC for 11 - 21 days. Not work risking if you lose the Early Booking Have it All. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually just realised that this is the FCD (Future Cruise Deposit) scheme terms. I have a copy of the onboard offer somewhere and will pist it,but it is similar to FCD.
