Rare FlaMariner Posted November 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Is that promo still around? We dis-embarked in mid October and seems like I'd have the email by now offering some OBC if I booked in the next 90 days. Nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelholics Posted November 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Same for us. We wer on both Koningsdam and Noordam in September and didn't receive e mail for Welcome Home for either cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted November 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2023 We received Thank You For Sailing With Us emails one week and again one month after disembarking our last cruise. Maybe you could call and ask if you are being offered that promo. You should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodndonna Posted November 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2023 We disembarked Oct 8 and nothing yet this time. Maybe a thing of the past....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loreto Posted November 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 4, 2023 By mid Oct. we had not received our thank you for sailing email from Sept. 9 disembarkation. I wanted it for our Mexican Koningsdam cruise in Dec. I gave the TA the promo codes and she called HAL and was able to get it applied.. I was insistent, HAL said they were behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I usually get them but even when I don’t my TA just adds the promo and it always works. I haven’t received one after my most recent sailing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Just ask if you have not received the email. There is a code that gives you the OBC. You (or more specifically, your Mariner ID, need to have sailed recently.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boze9999 Posted November 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 4, 2023 HAL still has it - it's either a ZPM or VPM Promo. AND you won't get it unless you request it! That's the new hiccup! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cbr663 Posted November 4, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 4, 2023 We didn't receive it after our Alaskan cruise in May. I had forgotten all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anytime I book a cruise I'll just pass that along to the TA and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boze9999 Posted November 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2023 That's what I do @FlaMariner since we're always booking new cruises within 90 days of sailing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholic78 Posted November 7, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2023 All, we are cruising at the moment (Westerdam Asia great) and have two cruises booked for next year. If I read this thread correctly I can have a welcome back promo applied to an already booked cruise. Is this right? Or is it only applicable for new bookings? Please enlighten me.

Rosalyn It is for bookings made within 90 days of your previous cruise. There is a different promo code for Euro currency bookings - it is VPQ 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI I got the email with the "welcome home" promo today 11/13/23. About a month since we dis-embarked on 10/15/23. The offer is good until 1/9/24....that's just under 90 days since we cruised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNSJ Posted November 14, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I just received mine for our last cruise. The fine print says "can't be combined with other OBC..." What are your experiences? Can I still get Military and AARP OBCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure we have received it with Stockholders OBC and FCD bonus , so can't see why it wouldn't be the case for Military or AARP.

DaveOKC Posted November 14, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We JUST received our Thank You For Sailing offer - only 5 days after leaving the ship! Last time (Sept) we never did get this email, but our HAL PCC added it to our booking anyway. She used code VPM or VPN. You generally have to book within 2 months of getting off the ship. The OBC amounts vary by length of cruise and cabin (you are booking) category, ranging from $25 to $200 pp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've received the shareholder OBC and the Welcome Back OBC together w/no problem....as recently as this year. (We worked for private companies and not the government so we do not qualify for the additional government employee benefit of OBC (teachers/firefighters/military/ambulance drivers etc).....and we are not members of AARP so no experience there either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TA advised us it was no longer available. Was surprised however when she confirmed that HAL was throwing in a $200 OBC on top of the OBC for using a FCC. Just got the email offer this morning so will be trying again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Haljo1935 Posted November 16, 2023 #25 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Returned Nov 10 from 11 day sailing on NS; what's today's date? Still no Welcome Back offer, but did receive the post cruise survey. Leave again Nov 26 and would like to test out using the Welcome Back offer while onboard.
