sugcarol Posted July 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Has anyone ever booked a cruise and the TA states there will be coupons in the cabin to be used for purchases. I have tried to find out what they can be used for. This is not an OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1898 Posted July 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We have received a coupon booklet and found little in it of interest. If you Google "Holland America Onboard Value Book" you will find travel agent links that give specifics of what is included typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Don't get too excited about it. :) You may find a few coupons that have value for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a waste of paper to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted July 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think one of the two times we received the coupon book it gave us a discount for a wine package (the upgraded one) but I can't think of anything else we used it for. Wasn't that impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie68 Posted July 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I vaguely remember having one coupon in the whole book that was something I could use. Most were geared to having you spend more money.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted July 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The bingo coupon is a big hit with me. I am happy to take any coupon for that that no one wants.;):p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugcarol Posted July 23, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks everyone, it will probably have 1% off a picture or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted July 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks everyone, it will probably have 1% off a picture or something. FWIW if you are not above a 2* Mariner and drink wine, there is usually a coupon for the Admiral package and a free PG dinner if you order with the coupon. If you are going to order the wine package anyways it's a good deal :) Same with a couple of others. Best thing is to take a look and see what you would us. Don't worry about what you won't and use what you would. A penny saved.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2015 We have gotten those coupon books on several cruises. Never used one coupon. The first time we got them, I asked our TA if she sent them to us -- NOPE!! So they don't always come from TA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted July 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2015 These appear on ships across many cruise lines....first time I kept looking for the coupon book with the fabulous discounts. Turns out that the cheezy promo booklet was all there was. IMO the only real discounts out there are FCD's and CCL shareholder credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of DaNile Posted July 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Even my TA could barely supress a laugh when she listed it as one of the "amenities" for a cruise we recently booked :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
