Frequently Asked Questions Related to Cruise Winnings:
Q. Who does the recipient of the Cruise Certificate call if they have any questions regarding their cruise booking?
A. Holland America Line World Cruise Reservations Department at: 1-800-522-3399.
Q. What cruises can the certificate be used for?
A. Option B certificate that has been awarded is good for any 7-day Holland America Line cruise for two in Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada/New England. The recipient can choose any 7-day itinerary in Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico, or Canada/New England, subject to availability. The certificate is not valid for Alaska CruiseTours, Grand Voyages, Holiday Cruises (Christmas and New Year’s) and World Cruises. The certificate is good for 12 months from the date of the event.
Q. What is the value of the cruise?
A. When Holland America provides a Cruise Certificate to an organization, the certificate entitles the holder to book a complimentary stateroom at the minimum outside stateroom category. In other words, the certificate itself does not have a dollar value assigned to it. Holland America Line advises organizations of the applicable brochure tariff (i.e., the price reflected in the applicable brochure). The amount of money an individual pays the nonprofit for the Cruise Certificate is based on the nonprofit event and in no way indicates what the cruise could have been purchased for in the open market, where cruise prices vary widely. While promotional or discounted prices occasionally are offered for the same class of stateroom, the holder of the certificate is still entitled a stateroom consistent with the terms of the certificate. Brochure prices vary depending on destination and time of travel. For the Option B Certificate, any 7-day cruise in Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada/New England in a minimum outside stateroom, brochure prices range from $799 to $1,649 per person.
Q. What will the expiration date be?
