bobpell Posted July 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Are you a member of CARP. Contact them now and ask for the same benefit as our cousins south of the border. (up to $200us OBC) per cruise Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really expecting CARP to carry the discount as they don't match much of AARP benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted July 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2023 CARP has just over 330,000 members compared to AARP's 38 million members, and AARP's magazine and bulletin sent to its members are the two largest-circulation publications in the United States. I doubt that CARP would be of any serious interest to HAL from a marketing perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2023 it never hurts to ask Hotel/car rentals etc give discounts to CARP members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we already have a TA booked in the fall of 2024) It's only new bookings, but if you booked very recently you could consider re-faring it (essentially cancelling and rebooking) to get the OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobpell Posted August 3, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Had my TA call HAL and he was advised that I had to contact them with my AARP number within 7 days of my booking a cruise. I booked a fall 2024 sojourn weeks ago. sigh Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted August 11, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2023 @bobpell Did you have any luck? I'm wondering if I should pay to join AARP, just to get the OBC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpell Posted August 11, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yes Alberta Quilter I found out I should join for $17us to get up to$200 based on the length of each one of our HAL cruises. Alas you have up to 7 days after booking to give HAL a AARP # Bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is al long thread on the HAL board about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
