i searched and did not find an answer to my question. What specific steps do you follow to move a booking you made yourself to a TA? Is there a specific telephone number to call?

 

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Call 1-800-522-3399 then press Option 4.

You'll need the agent's name and their local phone # (not 800).

It's easy, I just did it a month ago.

Is Flight Ease worth it form transcontinental flights and, if so, can it be upgraded with FF miles?

I believe that FF miles upgrades would depend on the flight booking class. I looked at upgrading an international flight, but my booking is in a low fare class and can't be upgraded.

I plan to move our reservation for our Koningsdam trip next year to a TA but am wondering if I will still be able to communicate direct with HAL for plane reservations....since we are on a transatlantic I've always found the cruiselines(well...Celebrity anyway) have better one way prices than anywhere else....or will I have to go through the TA once I've transferred the reservation?

Unless this has changed in the last few months, you will have to work through your TA. I have worked around this by selecting my flights through HAL once available, and then transferred to TA.

deposits over here are always non refundable (i guess :confused:). we can change every part of the booking, including the ship, but paid is paid.

 

Enjoy AMS and Norway :cool:. It's gonna be a nice day Saturday for your sailaway.

Thanks, getting ready for the train journey to AMS and overnight there.

Only the Ready,Set,Sail promo is showing on HAL right now.

Nothing about Explore4.

I am in Germany right now, so can see the Explore4 info. One thing I noticed in the Terms and Conditions is that the deposit is non-refundable. Of course this addresses booking from Europe.

We are off to AMS tomorrow to board the Prinsendam for the first time, really looking forward to it!

Thank you, Chris. We will take the S-Bahn from the airport and change at Hbf to our ongoing train, don't plan to stay in Hamburg. So it sounds as if we'll be fine without having to find a machine for validating the ticket. I left Germany in 1964, just go back for visits now. So much has changed, lots new stuff to learn each time.

We plan to buy a train ticket from a kiosk at the Hamburg airport train station in Germany. I believe you will have to validate it on the platform? Our trip will also necessitate changing trains - do we have to validate again before entering the second train?

I do not want to pre-purchase this time since I'm not sure of which train we will be able to get after arriving from London at the Hamburg airport.

You must do it before final payment date. Your TA's name, company name and telephone number is usually all that is required for you to give HAL. I forget the number you call at HAL - listen on the main number for the the options, but someone here is sure to know and will post.

I just did this on Friday, they must have had phone problems because I waited 2x for 10 minutes before someone answered. Was always very quick before. You'll need your booking #, name of agency and agent and their regular phone number, not 800.

World Cruise Reservation phone is 1-800-522-3399, Option 4 to transfer to agent.

Received one yesterday for our Oct. 2016 Atlantic Adventurer. I have a Norway cruise coming up in June, but was sure that Malaga was not on the itinerary. When I checked the booking # I saw it was indeed for last year's cruise.

I put a hold on a cruise online on Princess. The cabin is held for 3 days at which time the deposit must be paid. If I decide against the cruise, do I just let it expire? There is no place online to cancel.

Yes, the cruise hold expires, you don't have to do anything.

Just purchased / redeemed OBC to be applied to an upcoming and already booked Crown Princess voyage.

 

Does the Barclays OBC appear in my Cruise Personalizer?

 

Does the Barclays Credit appear in "Payments and Credit" / "On Board Credits for this Booking" section along with the stockholder benefit credit?

 

Cheers

I think it shows under "Special Services." No personal experience, but seem to have read about this some time ago.

I have the same question as I have 21 Loyalty credits. Do we ask the Captain's Circle Host/ Do we bring our credits history with us? Thanks to those in the know. This is the first I have heard of this benefit. Barbara

There will be a card in your cabin listing the credit and it will show on your on board account. You won't see anything about it before you board.

I just saw that Mario beat me to the punch.

I just typed Retired. I was able to proceed to the next page after that.

Thank you.

I'm curious what to put where they ask about employer, etc. We are retired.

When you get room service, there is no slip of paper to write in the tip, and room service is free. So yes, give cash, and he/she will get to keep it.

Thank you, we have been giving cash, just wondering if there was the other option like on Princess. And we never reduce the HSC, everyone works so hard.

If I write in a tip for room service, does the server get to keep all of it or does it go into the "pool"? Just wondering if I should give cash instead to be sure he/she gets to keep it all.

I think age is also a factor

Age is not a factor in PVP

I'm sorry, but I can't remember which port we used in Copenhagen. I believe it was the one that was closest to everything. We took one of the ship's tours there, so all we had to do was get on a bus. Whichever port it was, there was a long line of shops (it was labeled as outlet shopping) along the pier walk.

 

 

 

Best regards,

Priscilla

Thank you, no problem. We have been there quite a few times and probably just take the HAL shuttle (if offered) into town.

Thank you for your comprehensive review. We are booked on this cruise next year and were wondering which port was used in Copenhagen since there are now three.

In case you are interested, I have PDFs of the OnLocation dailies of my recent Norse Legends cruise on Rotterdam. You may want to take a look at them for further information. You can download them from my wordpress blog.

Thank you so much, very informative. We are booked on this next year early June on the Koningsdam (B2B after the Baltics). I'll be sure to pack some warm clothing.

This number is not for use in purchasing air though. It is for emergency or delay issues while traveling. OP is trying to purchase air tickets.

OP is in the UK, doubt that 800# of much use. Is the air desk even open on the weekend?

We paid online prior to sailing for the fjord cruise, flam railway and wildlife safari. For the car hire we reserved the car and then gave our card details on the day.

Okay, thanks

Were you able to use credit cards at all the DIY locations or did you have to have NOK in cash?

You can always complete your booking and at the end you will also have the option to put the cruise on a courtesy hold. That will give you about 2 days to call Princess and have them apply your FCC and you won't lose your cabin.

And if you fill up before you turn the car in DO NOT go to SUNCOAST ENERGYS or SUN GAS to fill up, keep going a half-mile farther up 436 to Wa-Wa, you will save about $20 if you need 5 gallons!! SUNCOAST is currently $5.95/gal and Wa-Wa is $2.06/gal!

Be prepared to show Avis your gas receipt since it's such a short distance. We have had to show it for rental from Venice to TPA.
