Have It All AND MORE

[Taleena]

I was poking on the Navigator app today (not on a cruise currently), and saw this under 'Dining & Drinks' then 'Wine, Cocktails and Bars':

 

 

For anyone who can't see the screenshot, it states that guests with the HIA package can now apply the beverage package to any glass of wine or cocktail and only pay the difference in price if that drink's price surpasses the package price limit. Awesome news if it can be confirmed!

[Mary229]

Sounds like a fair change of policy.  I think HIA has not been the outstanding success they envisioned.  I look forward to seeing other adjustments 

[VMax1700]

Boarding tomorrow in Trieste, Italy, and my Navigator is not showing that at all.

When I go to 'Wines, cocktails and bars' all I can see is options for 'Wine Menu' 'Sommelier suite' 'Billboard Onboard' 'Rolling Stone Lounge' 'Ocean Bar' 'Lido Bar' 'Sea view Bar' etc.

Well, that is very good news for many of us.  However, like @VMax1700I don’t see it on my Navigator app either?  I get the same views he does.

[Mary229]

There must be changes occurring. Last week we discussed that HIA was being offered at $50 a day on booked cruises - now that has disappeared from my bookings

Still showing up on both of my upcoming cruises.

Good news, @Taleena.  Thanks for posting about it.  It makes sense to do this.  Nice enhancement.   👍

Do you have a HAL cruise booked? I wonder if that makes a difference in what is displayed.

My Navigator app shows the number of days until I cruise, my itinerary with tours & specialty restaurant reservations, etc. But like VMax1700, I can’t find that screen at all. When I click a box about Have it All, it links to the HAL web page.
 

It will be great if they make that change in policy!

Wonder if that would apply to one of those very expensive 50 year old Brandy’s?😁

No luck for me either in seeing it, I do wonder if possibly it does make a difference on what cruise is up next for you. We board Rotterdam 4 weeks from today. It absolutely would be ideal for what Tom and I both like to drink. I tried logging off and back on to see if that might make a difference. It may very well depend on the ship.  

[NorthWestPassage]

It does apply to the 51 night HAL transpacific sailing in October. I just confirmed on my Navigator app.

[Taleena]

The upcoming HAL cruise I currently have booked is September 11 on the Westerdam 7-day Alaskan Explorer. I can still see it the HIA&M offer in my Navigator app (version 4.12.0) on both my Android phone and Android tablet, so perhaps it depends on if you're using an Android or an iPhone, or maybe it's only on certain cruises. Who knows, especially when HAL is involved. 😆

[iceman93]

I would love this change and, interestingly, it will result in HAL getting more of my money.  If only drinks under $11 (or $15) are included, and anything over that will be charged at full price, I will put effort into making sure all my orders are under that threshold.  But I do like nicer wines, whiskeys, etc. and would gladly pay the difference for some of those more expensive selections.

[bebe08]

We would love the change also...we have a HAL cruise booked for Sept with the HIA.  Just returned from a Celebrity cruise where we could just pay the difference for a more expensive drink.  Think we spent an extra $14 the entire cruise which is far cheaper than the price to upgrade the beverage package, or paying the full cost of a more expensive drink.  

 

The only drinks we typically have that are higher priced are DH's nightly scotch other than that standard package works for us.

To see this on Navigator click the view more tab to the right of the dining tab then scroll down, Under the Wine, Cocktails, and Bars, the Have it all and more tab appears.

Still not seeing it!

[FlyingCruiser2]

I thought it was always that way.  On our Eurodam cruise a couple months ago (you were on same trip I think), we only paid difference between $15 and whatever our drink was.  However when we got a drink in souvenir cup, had to pay whole thing.

Me neither 😞

Me neither.  I have the current Navigator app version 4.12.0 referenced above but it doesn't have the "Wine, Cocktails, and Bars" category in the section noted above.  In that section, mine just has the category, "Bars".  Perhaps a new Navigator app version is starting to push?

Samewith mine,I also have the 4.12.0 and no such category listed. I wonder if it depends on what your next cruise is? We will be doing Rotterdam in Europe. Could it possibly be only certain itineraries they are testing it with?

[roxybear135]

I also have the current version and it only has the "Bars" section.  For some reason, I can't view the bar menus anymore as of a couple of weeks ago.  We have a cruise coming up on Wednesday out of Copenhagen, so it will be interesting to see if this policy is in place on it.

I am looking at upgrading to the Elite Beverage Package from the signature in my HIA promotion.  I just took a look at the description of the Elite Beverage Package and it looks as if it has changed from unlimited soft drinks and 15 alcohol drinks to the same wording as the signature package with it being a total of 15 drinks a day soft drinks and alcohol.  It looks like the only difference between the two now is that elite has a $15 limit and Signature is $11.  Is this correct or am I looking at something else on the web site?

[john2003]

Just off the NA. Got a charge from someone for a higher priced drink on my account. It was the full cost they charged not the difference. They removed the charge with no problem.

That's the way I read it.  Sad, but true.  I haven't sailed yet to test it out though.

Thank you! I was thinking about upgrading to the Elite package, but I see that this offer is on our Alaska cruise next Sunday!! Woohoo.
