zodiac1 Posted May 22 #1 Share Posted May 22 I have registered on Holland for AARP OBC and just booked a special group rate through a TA. Will my booking qualify for the AARP OBC? If so, will I need to call Holland to request it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghflyer Posted May 22 #2 Share Posted May 22 I am not sure how us randos would know anything about your particular "special group rate" but the T&Cs don't mention anything specifically about any rates affecting eligibility, although there is the old helpful classic "other restrictions and exclusions may apply." Sounds like you registered (and waited 3 days?) before booking so it should appear there now so if not, yup give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted May 22 #3 Share Posted May 22 Go through the TA. They should know if AARP can be added to their rate codes. They are getting the commission, after all. Allow them to earn it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted May 22 #4 Share Posted May 22 That term (special group rate) is used for different things . as long as you are paying full fair, no problem, Some times Travel agents us the term ( special group rate) as a sells pitch because there Travel Agency has a group going and they get a discount so they will give you a few percent off the fair which is still considered full fair. .

farjar Posted May 23 #5 Share Posted May 23 Can I join AARP now and get the OBC applied to an upcoming cruise In December 2024 that was booked 5 months ago or must I have been a member at the time of the original booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is you must be a member and verified (a process that takes a few days) before making the booking. But that is not to say some haven't reported receiving OBC when not following the rule!
