Susanmaz Posted June 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Booked this 12 day Sea of Cortez & Holiday Dec 22 - Jan 3. This will cover 3 celebrations for us, anniversary, Christmas & New Years. I have to say I was surprised to see that there is a charge for choosing a specific cabin… I paid it because I am particular about where I what to stay. As I consequence, I chose not to spend the money on HIA. Hope to see you holiday travelers on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been pretty much the system since resumption after Covid. There is also a third fare that you need to call about. But I think the deposit is non-refundable.

Susanmaz Posted June 9, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I had never seen it before until I researched what and where for our next cruise. Maybe because our last two cruises - since resumption - were using our credits from Covid cancellations? Who knows. But I will probably not ever do an HIA if I have to pay to choose a cabin.

We have two cruises with HIA and guarantee bookings. And had 3 cruises already since resumption...only one with cabin assigned as it was possible at the time of booking. Look into the advantage fare, I think it is called. Discussed here frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted June 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The Advantage fare IS refundable, but otherwise bare-bones. No HIA etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive that's the 3rd category @CruiserBruce was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
