RocketMan275 Posted January 31, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2020 How does one buy a gift? Perhaps a bottle of wine or dinner at a specialty restaurant? My son and his wife are on NAM in late March and we'd like to buy them a gift. We won't be on the cruise with them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 31, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If you know their booking number, you can go on line and buy them a gift. But, if you don’t know their booking number all you have to do is call the HAL indulgence phone #, give their full names, ship and sailing date and they will process it for you. They will also send you a confirming email so that if something goes wrong you can get it corrected. I recently did it for friends on a Grand voyage and it went as smooth as silk.

You can still book online even if you don't have the booking number. There are 4 other ways to look up the reservation as shown below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewgirl1 Posted February 1, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Make sure you save a copy of your receipt, my folks didn't get their gifts from us. If I hadn't asked my parents how they enjoyed their dinner and wine, they wouldn't have known about it. I sent them a forward of my receipt, they went to the front desk to get their gifts. I bought some OBC for my Daughter in law and that showed up on her booking before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point. I always ask for an email receipt and keep it in case. I haven’t had an issue with gifts not being received but it can happen so wise to keep the email in case. 6 hours ago, Brewgirl1 said: I bought some OBC for my Daughter in law and that showed up on her booking before the cruise. I had a gift bought for me and it showed up on ‘my itinerary’ so I suspect if someone looks a their itinerary for their booking they will see it. It doesn’t say who it’s from of course.

Rare richwmn Posted February 1, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I only bought a gift for someone one time, but I seem to remember there was a check box asking if it was a gift. If so, checking that box may prevent the item from showing up on the itinerary before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeared on itinerary when I next looked at it - no donor listed but had been alerted to possibility so it wasn't a complete surprise. Cards were in the stateroom confirming the gifts and from whom they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
