geocruiser Posted September 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I am looking at some HAL cruises. I would like to the the cost of the ✈️ with flight ease. How can I find out this info before I book a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyling Posted September 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Only way I know is to go to the Princess cruise line website and do a fake booking for around the same time you would have the Hal embarkation/disembarkation. You can also do one way if that’s all your looking to book. HAL uses the same platform as Princess. The prices will be about the same. Once you pick the cruise then hit the tab for flights. You can put the flight date a few days before and after if you wish. Edited September 20, 2019 by freestyling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you No, if you follow freestlying’s instructions there is no need to put a deposit down on HAL if all you want to do is check prices in advance. If you want to use the HAL site and know the exact price and not do as freestyling has suggested then yes, you will need to have a cruise booked. With Princess you don’t need to. However, you can’t book a flight without a cruise booked, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted September 20, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thank you, I will check Princess. Princess is who I have been sailing with lately. But had enough after my next two cruise with them. So I am coming back to HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowshoeCat Posted September 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) I've called HAL and asked them to do a 24 hour courtesy hold on a cabin. I even tell them that I want to check flights on my own. You'll get a booking number and then you can access the Flight Ease site.

Rare Mary229 Posted September 20, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It really is a pain. I don’t know by they don’t let you look. I purposefully call them and waste their time looking at all possible alternatives. Some flights are more expensive than the cruise and I wish HAL would drop the secrecy.

Gigi1977 Posted September 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2019 My PCC will do a fake booking with flights thru flight ease so you can get a general idea. You won’t know the exact price until booking. My flights to Japan dropped $124. pp with actual booking and I always do flexible fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyling Posted September 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2019 On HALs flight ease you can’t look at flights until 330 days from disembarkation, not embarkation. Princess makes it easy IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
