tuppermern Posted January 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi everyone! I booked my first HAL cruise Wednesday, and got an email today from an online agency offering a veranda for $112 less. Will HAL do anything to match it? I've made final payment. Thanks for any help. tuppermern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggal Posted January 23, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Are you sure its for the exact same cabin and/or guarantee? Very often the emails are promotions and when you go to book its not for the same level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuppermern Posted January 23, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted January 23, 2010 No---it's not for the exact same cabin. I booked cat VH veranda guarantee & the other agency simply stated verandas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-500 Posted January 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2010 No---it's not for the exact same cabin. I booked cat VH veranda guarantee & the other agency simply stated verandas. FYI, a VH is the lowest veranda category on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsltg Posted January 23, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Give them a call and ask. It's not going to hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted January 23, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2010 If you booked direct with HAL you might be able to get it transferred to the agency with the lower price. However, I would be sure I knew all of the "fine print" at the agency before I did this. For just $112, I'm not sure it's worth the risk of something getting fouled up.

For just $112, I'm not sure it's worth the risk of something getting fouled up.I know you can get it transferred to an agency if you haven't made your final deposit, because I just recently did that to save some bucks. I am not for sure, but I think if you have made your final deposit, it might not be possible to transfer directly; you might have to cancel and rebook to get the lower price.

Kween Karen Posted January 23, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I booked a Grand voyage while onboard.....they told me I could transfer it to an agency at any Vime....even though I already made the full deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT - Karen, I did not realize you had booked another Grand Voyage. That's great! I really enjoyed your blog and hope you will do another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuppermern Posted February 18, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I called HAL.......and because it was one day after my final payment---they said they couldn't do anything. I got my cabin assignment---and it was a VC category. What's the difference between that & VH?? Thanks for everyones help! Mary Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
