Lyndihop Posted June 1, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted June 1, 2018 That’s right. Explore 4 is what I was referring to. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonialinnkeeper Posted June 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Haven't seen anything official yet--just chatter and past history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SLOTheta Posted June 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2018 FYI - Ready, Set, Sail ends on June 14th. From what I can tell from the HAL blog, Explore 4 should be next (August to November) then View and Verandah.

DaveOKC Posted June 2, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That’s right. Explore 4 is what I was referring to. Sorry. I would not wait for the next promotion, but go ahead and book my cruise now and thus lock in your cabin. Assuming that you get a REFUNDABLE fare and the cruise is well before the final payment date, you can always rebook for a better deal later. Also, remember that the fares often drop after a promotion goes off and that might be a better deal for you (varies by person and what the "perks" are).

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted June 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I would not wait for the next promotion, but go ahead and book my cruise now and thus lock in your cabin.

Dave - this is the advice I often give, and follow. I booked my 2019 Alaska cruise as soon as announced to get the specific room I wanted, making sure the fare was refundable and allowed changes w/o loss of deposit (those are the two big things to watch for!). I have since switched to Ready, Set, Sail to get the pre-paid gratuities with only the smallest of price increases (far less than the value of the gratuities). When Explore4 comes out (assuming they remain consistent with past years) I will again re-fare to see if losing the gratuities and getting the Signature Beverage Package + Pinnacle Grill Dinner instead makes sense given the then current fares. I watch fares up until final payment always knowing I can switch and potentially lose one perk to gain another, or get a fare reduction greater than the value of any perks .....
