momrox1 Posted October 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just got the call to upgrade from a Cat VH obstructed to any other available V cat for $129 pp! Very pleased as we had a very obstructed view and are now in V 7133...a bazillion categories above what we had!!! I had a choice of Spa 10013 but I think the one I chose has a larger balcony? So very excited...So if you're booked, call your travel agent to get this new deal...good luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momrox1 Posted October 10, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thank you for the kind words. We had kind of gotten out of the habit of balconies and were doing only insides, preferring to spend the money on a sanctuary or thermal area...this is a real treat and for 11 days! Breakfast on the balcony !! :) Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your ta contact you or did you book directly with HAL? thanks Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to start a thread asking if HAL does this (since I am new to this cruise line), and you answered my question! :) Is there a better chance for an offer like this when you book directly with HAL ? What is a Spa verandah, and what comes with this type of cabin vs regular verandah? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bee on his case a little, previously, asking to keep an eye out for the offer. As far as I could see, the Spa offered nothing in terms of actually getting to use the spa. I believe they offer bottled water (limited) and an ipod dock and yoga mat ...I prefer the larger balcony and hopefully a quiet spot...I'm so excited and welcome !! I love HAL...just seems more relaxing to me..probably because of the older age group...of which I have become ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbabyfish Posted October 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I got offered that upsell too for $149 p.p., don't like being in the front of ship...so I settle for less but in a location that I like for free. I used a TA. Sent from my SM-S320VL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsnorkeling Posted October 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We're sailing in November. Had already paid to move from an inside to an oceanview. But when the big sale hit a few weeks ago, I happened to see it and checked with my TA. We were able to move up to a VF balcony for free! It was a 16 category upgrade from the cabin we started with. Pretty jazzed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadine26 Posted October 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I am on the Koningsdam 10/18. We got a free uprade. VH to VB. Our cabin is on deck 4 with a big balcony. Very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbaby369 Posted October 11, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We sail end of November. We booked with a TA way back in June. We are in a guarantee VH. I saw the huge price drops and cabin credits added, and then saw all the posts. I called him and all I was offered was a move from ubsrtucted to un-ubstructed....and I would have to give up the small cabin credit we have . I turned it down. I can only hope that maybe as we get closer to sail and get our assignment we might get a bit better . Can I call HAL direct even though we booked with a TA?

waterbabyfish Posted October 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 11, 2017 You have to contact your TA if you booked through one. Sent from my SM-S320VL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
