Is HAL All-inclusive?

[AFT_LOVER]

A nice guy just posted sailing on Oosterdam, and that all tips are included, drinks are too? I just visited the web site which is very unhelpful to a new visitor who is far from a new cruiser with 20 domne already on Princess, Celebrity, RCCL and one firey Carnival. He stated that we don't have to pay Radisson fare for what HAL has.

 

They do have some great sails that RCCL, Celebrity & Princess do not.

No, HAL is not all inclusive. Tips are charged at 10 pp per day and drinks (and other things) are extra.

Contrary to what the other poster said, Hal adds 10 dollars a day per person

to your on board account . All sodas and Bar Drinks are billed when served

You can get Lemonade , Iced tea Milk and Coffee at the Lido Buffet between meals and in the dining rooms with meals.Ice cream and frozen yogurt is available

at lLido until Midnight or 1 . Have a wonderful trip:)

If you enjoy soft drinks, you might consider purchasing a soda card once you get onboard. Generally speaking, if you drink more than 2 per day, you'll save money with the card.

It's possible, though, that he was sailing with a group whose onboard gratuities were prepaid. I was part of a group on Celebrity earlier this month and our gratuities were handled in that manner as a part of our cruise fare. This allowed us the freedom of switching dining tables and times ... as long as we dined at one of the three tables during each sitting that were specifically for our group.

 

So maybe that's why he thought his gratuities were included ... because with the group he was traveling with, they were.

Lemonade was not available in the Lido nor was it served out on the open decks at 10:30 AM (like we have gotten used to on other ships) last month on the Ryndam.
