HAL reserves the sole right to determine the method of compensation made to guests. A fare will be considered a Comparison Fare only if its booking consists of details that are identical to those of the original booking (including, but not limited to, the same ship, sail dates, stateroom category, and number of guests as the original booking). The amount of compensation will be determined by the difference between the booked fare and the current available fare displayed on HollandAmerica.com the day the request is received by HAL. A determination as to whether the located fare is identical to the original booking will be at HAL’s sole discretion. HAL reserves the right to apply this price protection and offer it at its discretion. Other restrictions may apply. Cruise Specialists group amenities require minimum participation and are subject to change. We reserve the right to correct errors.
