New Englanders - did you see this

[Mary229]

I was reviewing the press releases and noticed that HAL is offering a little extra OBC for New England residents for 2024 Canada/New England sailings.

No OBC for Canadians :((

No OBC for Southerners either...only Yankees.

It also includes the mid-Atlantic states,

Not all of them...no Virginia or anything south of Maryland. Just Yankees.

Virginia is not mid Atlantic. Delaware is though and I didn't see them on the list - unless I missed it.

Didn't the OP say it was for "New England Residents" Last time I checked Canada is not in New England. In general isn't there an accepted definition of what the "New England" states are? So I guess if you don't live in New England you don't get the deal.

I live on Vancouver Island and some of our resorts offer special "Vancouver Islander" rates; if you don't live on Vancouver Island you don't get the rate.

If you live in New England, enjoy the deal. If you don't, to bad so sad, no deal for you.

Look on HAL’s website for all of the Community Appreciation Offers.  See the Site Map if you can’t find it.  University of Washington Athletics season ticket holders take note.  

 

There are many, many ways to qualify for nonrefundable OBC at this time.

New York qualifies for the offer, but I have as much already booked for 2024 as I want to.

LOL, well, I wouldn't characterize that list of states as "New England".  More lie "select northeast states".  Last time we checked NH and ME were part of New England and Maryland and PA weren't!

I think we get "preferential" currency exchange on those sailings.

Black Friday sale also includes crew appreciation

I called this morning and saved those on leg 2

I hope HAL starts this type of promo for different cruise areas, starting with BC residents for Alaska :)

We're eyeing them closely....

 

Was thinking we have a good chance at a Casino "deeply discounted" for a Can/NE cruise and decide then, but with the current sale and our "standard" Casino discount, gratuities included, and then having our OBC for AARP, stockholders, FCD and Welcome back offer being eligible.... we're not actually saving anything to wait for that last minute deeply discount offer... tempting....

Not sure if it was HAL or Princess, but I recall Alaska being offered "at par" for Canadians as a sale at one time. I think maybe it was Princess though...???

 

Much like Can/NE cruises, I think there are always good deals to be had as they have so many sailings to fill.

Last year CND were at par on HAL for a while, excellent deals! I haven't seen anything this year to compare as far as CND go.  HAL did have an excellent Alaska 14 day deal this year. even at CND pricing it was worth our booking multiple times!
