Does HAL have a price matching for private excursions like Carnival and Princess?

[ontheweb]

Both Carnival and Princess will match exact same excursions by giving you the difference in price plus 10% in OBC. Does Holland America also do this? And before you say, there is never an exact match, we did get this in the summer of 2016 from Carnival for an excursion to the Harrison Caves in Barbados.

Sailed with HAL many times and booked many excursions and I have never seen this discount offered.

They do and there is even a sticky about it.

Wow! Clearly I've been living under a rock for the past few years.....I had no idea! However, after reading your link above, it seems that getting the price difference might not be all that easy. Would love to hear from someone who actually received this promise of 110% discount (of the difference). Seems HAL pretty much have themselves covered.

It's only been offered for a couple of months so don't be so hard on yourself! If you click on the link to the other thread, (Link is in the thread quoted above), you'll see that someone was successful in getting the credit.

OP here, thanks for that link. I actually did post late in that thread saying we had successfully done this with Carnival.

OP, here again. Rereading the first post in that thread, I see it is for EXC excursions. Is that all the excursions, or are EXC excursions some select specific excursions?

Price is not the main reason why we select private excursions. There are other reasons that most often tips our value proposition very much in favor of a private excursion.

EXC excursions is the term used by HAL for their shore excursions on a given cruise. Nothing select at all.
