Check your pricing!

[LDVinNC]

I just happened to look at the Holland America website and our April 1 Transatlantic has been reduced again, this time saving us an additional $350 for two. I called the TA and got the reduction - we are very happy about that, and the total price has gone down about $700 since we first booked.

Good for you. Keep an eye out for more price reductions and for changes in category pricing.

 

We have sometimes got good upgrades when the category above our booking is reduced in price to the same price point.

Yea mine has dropped but it is after final payment day :mad:.

Your TA, ( known here at home as TC -Travel Consultant),:), should have been the one to have investigated this for you and called you with the good news! ;) Isn't that part of their job? :confused:

A good TA has way too many booking to trace each one every day

My TA also has group pricing which is less than the cruiseline's price.

My March cruise has dropped $200 on the website, but is still more than what I paid.

Congratulations on getting another price reduction.

Just wondering where in Ontario you are as I have a travel AGENT in my part of the province:)

Even if the original price by the TA was lower than HAL site original, it doesn't hurt to call your discount TA if you see the price drop on the HAL site. Most times when I call my discount TA and tell them I noticed a price drop, they put me on hold, verify with HAL, and drop MY price....I have saved $100's doing this...it's worth a phone call.

What ship are you on??

[LDVinNC]

We are on the Ryndam out of Tampa.

LDVinNC: I'm glad you got a price drop. I have not been so lucky. My last two cruises departing from Buenos Aires and Valparaiso never dropped at all in price.

[English_in_Spain]

As I have said before. You are all so lucky to be able to benefit from price reductions.

 

When we book we are locked into a price and lose our deposit if we cancel, even if that is 12+ months before sailing.

[LDVinNC]

I guess you cannot book through a US travel agent, then?

 

We feel like we hit the jackpot because our return Transatlantic on Cunard has more than doubled in price since we booked. No effect on our wallet, of course, but we feel we got a bargain!

Congratulations!! We got a substantial savings also, $500 per person. Saw it on HAL's website, called our TA and she immediately lowered the cost to us. We're on the April

12, Eurodam Spanish Crossing out of FLL. That helped to offset the ridiculously high airfares. Hope others were able to benefit from the sale!

Me too, FYI the roll call for this cruise is here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1449265 It's kinda of slow though. See you onboard.
