krewzin Posted August 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2010 We're booked on the Eurodam Thanksgiving cruise, departing FLL Nov 20th. Just noticed our final payment is due Aug 27th, which is ....85 days ahead of departure. I thought holiday sailing payments were due 90 days ahead of time?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariawoman Posted August 23, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Are you upset that they aren't making you part with your money 5 days sooner? lol Mine was due on 7/23 for a 10/6 sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANKIEDNYC Posted August 23, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2010 :) I believe that it is normally 75 days before sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used a T/A, she provided me the Guest Copy of HAL's confirmation, and that showed the true deadline, even tho her agency invoice showed earlier. I always advised her I would pay by the date HAL expected the monies, and that was acceptable to her agency. Yes....but holiday sailings are 90 (at least that's how I remember it), so I found it odd that when I actually did the calculation (I was bored today:D) it was 85 days out.HAL considers their holiday sailings to be Christmas and New Years ... since Thanksgiving is not a universal/worldwide celebration, I do not believe sailings over that week fall into the holiday sailings category. My observations, in red, above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
