My local TA gave me the coupon booklet as an onboard gift. I politely gave it back to her, so that she could see how worthless they really are.

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2008 So far we have never been given one of those booklets by anyone - not even our TA. But having read here what is in them -- that is why I responded -- Totally Worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papadave Posted July 28, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you look through them you may find a way to save three dollars, but not three hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srlafleur Posted July 28, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's like any other "sale" or "coupon" savings. If it's something you were going to buy anyway, you're saving. If you buy something you wouldn't normally purchase, they've suckered you in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic The Parrot Posted July 28, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If some people haven't used them, how can they say they're worthless?? :confused: Hope they can elaborate more. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted July 29, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Now, they are not really completely useless. On our Princess cruise, we used the booklet to even out the table legs on our breakfast table on deck. Stopped us from spilling our coffee. I saw one or two folks on the Westerdam using their HAL coupons as bookmarks and another using hers as a coaster. Other than that, complete rubbage and an insult to the cruising public who the cruise lines must think are complete idiots for falling for such an old 'gag'. Last time I got offered one of those, I asked the agent to credit us for 25 percent of the 'so called' value. Naturally, she declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted July 29, 2008 #14 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I know this is off the OP's subject, but I don't understand why people book with the E. or T travel websites. They aren't cheaper than the CL. I just priced my Oct HAL cruise with T. just for comparison. I paid $300 less thru my TA plus got $100 SBC. Then I compared their pricing to the CL - it was exactly the same as T's pricing. Why bother with a middle man for the same $$. If I'm going to pay more, I'd rather book with the CL and at least I can contact them directly. Just my two cents.....Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted July 29, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Its hard to believe that a 'high end' line such as HAL, being so quietly sophistocated and catering to cafe society would stoop to a Wal Mart trick like offering near useless coupons on things most people don't want. Won't this tarnish their traditional, seafaring image? Or is it just the art auctions that do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
