sailingdutchy Posted October 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2019 If you are looking for some good prices for a very limited time (until Oct 16 only) there are some cruises being offered as if the Canadian Dollar was at par with the USD so at US price. I just booked a 40 day cruise to Auckland for 2020 and saved a bundle . Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians ! Tony 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilkennygirl Posted October 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Sounds good! Any recommendations for best deck and position on the Oosterdam? Probably would go with a verandah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted October 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well done Tony 🙂 I went looking and have yet to see the sale 😞 No Canadian at par offerings that I can see (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it on the HAL website. TA’s can give it as well. Unfortunately nothing that we can book at this time. If there’s a different one I haven’t found it yet-this one didn’t offer many different ports. Edited October 12, 2019 by canadianbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it worked to your advantage.... Carol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers !!! Tony Thanks both. I NEVER luck into this stuff or so much goes that it’s not worth while 😉 We lose our prepaid HSC but I can handle that with the major price drop. And, yes, Tony, my TA confirms it’s refundable as well. Yippee. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy-mae Posted October 12, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Any chance that someone can post a link. I went to the HAL website but it is nowhere to be found, and no option to search. Google didn't turn up anything either. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see if this link works for you. It’s right from the Thanksgiving sale. https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/deals_CAD/thanksgiving-sale/cruise-deals.html?destcode=multi_CADTG19_1&csvfilename=multi_CADTG19_1&ICID=HECIZ101019503#&&start=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less cruise-fare to insure! None of my future cruises are in this Thanksgiving sale, but that’s OK - glad people did benefit from it.

barb-ottawa Posted October 12, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) That link goes to all listings, not just the Thanksgiving specials. You have to go on the main page and click on Thanksgiving specials - it only covers sailings that depart or arrive from Canadian ports, so no Caribbean cruises unless you're sailing from Vancouver.

daisy-mae Posted October 13, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks for the link, kazu. I was trying to access the specials via the .ca website (go figure) when I should have been on .com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it know you are not in Canada, if you are not. don’t see any benefit unless you want to pay in Canadian dollar. If you do, you need to go to ani internet site that will let you pretend you are in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted October 13, 2019 #24 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well, I’m in Gander and had to go through 110 pages out of 184 on my little phone, but I found our cruise, and it seems to have gone down quite a lot , so I emailed our PCC and also about a couple of other cruises. So thank you Tony and Jacqui. We will be in a bunch of airports tomorrow, so I hope I will hear from her. I think we are also within 60 days f returning from our last cruise... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
