stan01 Posted Friday at 07:37 PM #1 Share Posted Friday at 07:37 PM Just received a HAL email announcing their "Best Deal Ever" for Americans: - Included crew appreciation - Included elite drinks package (15 drinks per day valued at up to $15 each) - Included Wi-Fi - Included up to 3 specialty restaurant visits depending upon duration of cruise Sounds a lot like Seabourn at least on paper. Let's get this assimilation over with and everyone can make their choices and get on with life. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare whogo Posted 4 hours ago #6 Share Posted 4 hours ago Just be happy that in this instance they are making HAL more like Seabourn rather than making Seabourn more like HAL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobar Posted 2 hours ago #7 Share Posted 2 hours ago I took my mom and sister on a HAL cruise earlier this year, best cabin and purchased the next to premium drink package (forget, but something like 15 drinks a day up to $11each drink). The “drinks” include specialty coffees, and also water cans (no plastic bottles). But never came close to the drink limit per day, but went over $11 limit per drink several times. Ok, fine. But what bothered me was that we were each given a “receipt” each drink, with a line for tip, even though I prepaid tips. Well, anyway, the point is that those receipts were a buzz kill! The cruise, albeit for three people, ended up costing nearly similar to SB. (Oh yeah, I had to pay $$ for ordering extra app at specialty restaurant.) I will just say that if there was any doubt in how much I love SB, there was no more doubt when I was back on SB a few months later. Been over 20 years and with its ups and downs, still love it. (Our last sailing on Venture this summer was as good as our first SB over 20 years ago.). And the friends we’ve met - that is truly the best!!!
