Just for fun I pulled up this cruise on our favorite cruise agency web site.  A Signature Suite would cost $4,198 with $325 of OBC given.  That gets the total cost down to  $77 per person day...for a Suite!  A Neptune prices out at $7418 (total for 2) with $550 of OBC which comes out to about $135 per passenger day...for a Neptune!  Pretty good deal for those that still cruise on HAL.  These prices do not include tips, fresh fish, etc :).

 

Is this an error, or does it reflect what many now think of HAL?  fruit for thought.

The price I see for a Neptune is $12,324 per person, before taxes/port charges and noOBC.  Don't think that works for me.

3379 pp cdn for neptune which included tips for 25 days was impossible to pass up

Yes, tips included on this 7 day promo. 1039 + tax of 390 CND. If air wasn't so ridiculously priced, we would book this without a thought.  An interesting itinerary, great for sea day lovers. Been to all these ports, but see the 39 day with addition of NZ is not badly priced, not as good, but still very reasonable. We will be booking one or the other.

We got the low prices by using our Mariners Club # on our crusie agencies web site.  The fares did say for previous cruisers.

I also was able to find the low price via an online agency.

 

I already have a similar cruise booked on Celebrity for the same time period in 2025 (by booking BTBs) -- one day longer, better itinerary (IMO; more ports at any rate) and a ship with more entertainment.

 

Oh, and I also booked the two legs before it as well. 😈

We also have another cruise, with Oceania, booked at that time.  DW reaction was that she would not consider HAL even if were free!  :).  But it truly is a fantastic price for those that enjoy HAL.

We have long suggested that folks "shop around" among some reputable high volume cruise agencies as well as checking out HAL's own site.  With our HAL bookings, we have always found much better overall deals with our favorite cruise agencies.  These days, all the cruise lines do a lot of business with the large travel "consortiums" (these are groups of independent agencies) and will sometimes take advantage of their clout to unload inventory.  Our favorite consortium (most cruisers are not even aware of these groups which normally operate in the background) handles over $11 Billion a year in bookings, which gives you some idea of their importance to the industry.

Be creative with flights.  Check routes like Hawaiian from Seattle via Honolulu.

This is the perfect example of when you see a deal you need to act fast, or at least put it on hold.  Kuddos to you on a great deal.
