Florida_gal_50 Posted May 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2022 That’s good. No deal for anything I’m interested in. I don’t really want to do a non refundable deposit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted May 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Someone mentioned earlier that the spring transatlantics are very cheap, starting below $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted May 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I'm considering booking the TA on the Rotterdam for next April. Verandah stateroom for $892 plus $125 taxes/port charges. FOR TWO WEEKS! I don't care about the amenities package, as I am not going to have a $1k bar bill. I did the TA on Rotterdam last month, and I was blown away by the ship, the staff, the food and the entertainment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunther1 Posted May 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2022 What would the deposit be for a cruise like this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 30, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I'm already booked on the Rotterdam TA for next April. Just checked, and the HIA price is exactly the same. The base price is less than half! Is HIA available to add on to all sailings or is it one of those things that some sailings you can, some you cannot? I remember seeing it available to add at $50/night. I may send my TA an email and ask if it's possible to cancel and rebook using this current fare, then add HIA later. Total would be >$600 less than my current booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total would be >$600 less than my current booking. Just a heads up. I don’t believe you can “add” have it all to a booking. You either have to take the reservation with Have it All pricing or go without it. If the savings is that much though - if Have it All really worth it for you? You can easily use the savings to buy beverage cards or just pay for your drinks, etc. Might be worth doing some math. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted May 30, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I was able to add Have It All to a Canadian booking and now on my South American Grand Voyage segment it is being offered as an add on at $50 per day. always do the math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crazy For Cats Posted May 30, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I can add Have it All to our upcoming Zaandam cruises. At $50 a day it’s not worth it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same cruise July 2. adding: during a sale where there was a minor price drop I was able to negotiate HIA add on for lower than the $50 a day. Always do the math and always call, you might be surprised 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to say I stand corrected 😉. 👍 I just booked a cruise under the Celebration Sale and the price was very nice without Have it All (truly discounted). When my booking appeared I could add Have it All for $50 per day. And the cruise will be much cheaper doing that than if I had taken the Have it all cruise price. Especially as a Solo. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 1, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I wonder if one chooses the HIA package does the other passenger need also choose it. My sis likes HIA but it doesn’t work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said since it includes beverage package I’d be surprised if one person could buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
