Valentine Surprise

[KAKcruiser]

The HAL website is advertising a Valentine surprise for Monday.  Anybody know anything about this?

[KAKcruiser]

This must be a really well guarded secret.  I asked the Holland American rep today and she claimed to have no knowledge of a Valentine's Day promo.

[Crazy For Cats]

On Seth Wayne’s FB page he announced a secret Valentine.  They will be announced on Monday and he is asking people to guess.

I'm guessing (hoping) its the return of the gift card promotion.

Thanks for the info.

A love letter to Alaska..... 🤪

Right, everything promised disappears and they put up a goofy love letter.  What is wrong with them?

What were you promised?

Wish it was a voluntary mask notice for all fully vaxed.

+1 that would be a nice surprise!

This list was offered by a particular TA and state offers may include before the list. This was not a HAL promotion.

I figured that must be the case.  I looks like HAL is doing nothing after much hoopla

I don't see this as being an exclusive TA offering, as we're booking directly with HAL and are getting the same offer.

HAL is offering an air credit? Aside from that, it is the typical Have It All offering.

Which cruise are you getting this available on?  Maybe it is a Canadian offer?  Glad you have it

As a Canadian - I see a $500 air credit off to select Europe cruises (they seem to be 2022). Not sure if the same offer is there on US based site.

 

""Flight credit in the amount of US$500 will be credited to each guest, and available only for 1st and 2nd guests sharing a stateroom. Air Credit offer is available on select economy flights booked through Holland America Line’s Flight Ease program.""

I see that one too.  The TA I posted last night included some North American cruises as a Valentine's special.

European.

yes, that one I see.  When I checked that TA's website last night it did include my North American trip or so I thought.  I have been known to get things wrong🙃

I do see that on the US site now, for our cruise but the price of the cruise increased the same amount as the credit. It also is only available on our cruise for Ocean view cabins.

Maybe something went wrong and HAL couldn't load the promotion onto their web site.  It's hard to believe there is nothing after the hype.  I know they are having trouble with their phones today.

I had to add a person to my cruise today and had my TA ask and no  one knows anything!
