Transferring a booking to my TA

[bookitdanno]

Since HAL PCCs seem to be like magicians in some ways, just wondering if I  can book a cruise using a PCC and then transfer it to a TA for extra benefits?

TIA

Yes you can. I have done this when I have booked on board and when I have booked on the website. On board, the future cruise consultant had me sign a paper saying I authorized the transfer. 
 

Off ship, I just call the TA and give them the booking number. Sometimes I have to send an email to confirm that choice. 
 

Not sure if it applies to all TAs but I am required to transfer the booking within 90 days of original booking, and it has to be before final payment and any cancellation period has expired.

I believe the limit for transferring a cruise is now 60 days imposed by HAL.  You have to fill out a form to get it transferred and send it to World Cruise Reservations, I believe.

For me, it’s not worth the hassle.  For others it is.

We transferred. a booking to a TA recently, & like Kazu says there is a form to fill out & be sent to "world cruise reservations."  Once I figured out how to do it, it was easy.  The cruise line won't allow the TA to send it in/fill it out.

Where exactly is the form?  Looking to transfer also and I was told 30 days.   Thanks.

Our TA sent us the form through email & I emailed it back.  If I remember correctly is was world_cruise_reservations@hollandamerica.com.  But the travel agent you want to use should help with this, since they want your business.

Here is the form we used for the transfer for HAL.

I've used the form to transfer bookings several times w/o issue. Last month, though, I  had them all kicked back saying I either needed separate forms from the 2nd pax or I needed to add a statement to each of them that I was financially responsible for the booking. Once I did that, I immediately received confirmation of the transfers.

Maybe I got someone new or maybe they're just being more particular and not "rubber stamping" them.
