Coupon Books on HAL: Time for a different approach?

[RMLincoln]

I have been researching possible HAL cruises for December/January for this year and see that HAL still lists their "coupon book" as a perk for cruises. .....

 

I have never seen a coupon book listed as a perk in any TA's offerings nor on HAL nor by PCCs, and I have never gotten one on a HAL cruise (11 so far). I must not be circulating in the right circles....

 

Can any passenger get one at the front desk for the asking? m--

I don't think so. They appear to be promos for the TAs to offer. A marketing ploy of almost no value to many pax.

 

Used to get these all the time form my TA, but have not seen them for a couple of years now.

 

I did try to use one once: a free Pinnacle lunch (?) if you buy the 7 bottle Admiral's wine package. Because we were using the 5 star discount on this package, we weren't able to "double dip" and get the coupon offer.

Seems like a poor way to treat the 5 star clients who buy top level wine packages. :rolleyes:

I wasn't really expecting to be able to use both discounts, but would have been happy to do so! You never know, but HAL is a business..... etc. Their call, of course.
