New Coupon Books

[Krazy Kruizers]

It seems that these coupon booklets are a promo put on by HAL at certain times. Maybe they are based on GAP points, but each time we have had them, there has been advertising about them as part of a sale, usually along with OBC and/or Pinnacle dinners.

 

Sorry -- don't know what GAP points are.

Our cruises have never "sale" cruises -- thus no promations, no extra OBC and/or Pinnacle dinners.

We were on the Noordam last week and only used one coupon, the one for 15 free Internet minutes.

 

I no longer use the ship's internet -- service too slow -- waste too much time trying to get on and post anything.

I'll take the coupon book any day of the week (I rarely get them). we take longer cruises and always order the 7 admiral pack of wine, so a free Pinnacle Grill dinner is just fine with me.

 

there were a couple of other things I have used in the past. Not really big ticket items, but they were used.

 

Now if the NA hadn't had noro last cruise, I probably would have tried the spa & thermal pools, but with the pools shut down, I couldn't do it.

 

Too bad, one didn't know if advance if they were in use for the cruise and could just go get one.

 

I rarely get the books - in fact my last one was courtesy of a kind cc member on the boards who sent me hers :) now how nice is that :D:D

but although they are coasters to some, they can be of use to others.

 

If you are going to spend the money anyways, it's nice to get something back - and a free PG dinner is just fine - and no problem at all :)

Kazu---we usually get a couple from our TA and all we use would be the internet minutes, although we can only use one of those coupons--can't double up. We will use the new laundry discounts as well.

If we get them in April, I will bring them home, instead of discarding them, and pass them on to you. Maybe we can have a coffee at TH in KV and make the pass.

Oh Sapper, how nice of you. :):)

 

Love to have coffee with you at TH (or even green tea) and finally meet you. Thanks so much. We'll pray they don't change the books :)

 

I will definitely put them to use on our 20 day Canary Crossing. Hope the Prisendam accepts them ;)

Krazy Kruisers, I'd be interested to know if the coupon is still inside the front cover for the subscription to Porthole Cruise Magazine. It's such an excellent deal, even for us Canadians at $15.00.

 

It's the only thing I've used in my previous coupon books.

Dear KK

GAP means Guest Amenity Points. Apparently when an agency books a group, they get amenities to offer their clients based on points. Lisa would know about this a lot better, but each amenity "costs" so many points.

If you get a copy of the Polar Online booking info, the "GAP" term shows up, for example, GAP Pinnacle Grill Dinner, 2011 GAP 10x7 candid photo sheet.

Since it is my aim in life to book "sales", we get these regularly.

Thanks you -- had not heard about them before.
