leerathje Posted September 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Does anyone know about the Explorer Sale? I found a promoted ad (on another site) posted by a cruise agent. Has anyone heard what it will be? Apparently it starts on September 30..... Here's a clip of the ad, with the agent name deleted. L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted September 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Sounds interesting. The current HIA promo is set to expire on September 30 so maybe this will take its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny0315 Posted September 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It looks like the shore ex credit will be bumped up to $200 with this sale too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annjem Posted September 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I just booked a cruise for next summer. If this deal is better do most people just cancel previous booking or call them to get price adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leerathje Posted September 27, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted September 27, 2022 So, I have reached out to my friend (who also happens to be my TA!) to see if she has more info. I'll let you all know what I find out. L. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this deal is better do most people just cancel previous booking or call them to get price adjustment? We do a "refare" if prior to final payment. That way we can keep our cabin and any reservations we have made. Remember though that you have to take ALL the new perks and lose ALL the old ones you had that are associated with your reservation. No picking and choosing. Edited September 27, 2022 by DaveOKC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this deal is better do most people just cancel previous booking or call them to get price adjustment? I email my PCC and she calls me at her convenience. It's handled as Dave said above. ETA: if she doesn't get back to me in a day or two, I call her extension, just in case she's on vacation! This happened in June, and the changes were handled by the PCC 'switchboard', very smoothly. Also you must have a refundable deposit AND there has to be cabin(s) still available in your category -- because the re-fare is really a cancel/rebook but without risking your cabin.

LexTrep Posted September 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2022 This is a sale with one agency network in US and Canada. From what I understood from my TA from this network is that they will have access to exclusive deals/rates with a bunch of OBC on certain sailings. It is not available through HAL directly.

Agree, the early booking sale INCREASED the price of my 2024 cruise by $400! But we're good with what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare albingirl Posted September 30, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Everytime I read about sales, I just add on the port charges, taxes, and insurance and suddenly I'm not impressed anymore. Especially if you feel like adding on the free for all drink package etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leerathje Posted September 30, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The sale is, in fact, with one particular travel agency, bu tthe OBC can be substantial. L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
