Can I courtesy hold a cruise reservation?
Yes, you can courtesy hold a Holland America Line cruise reservation with no payment for at least 24 hours, and the exact time depends on how far in advance you book.
Sometimes you are ready to choose the ship and stateroom, but not quite ready to reach for your wallet. That is where a courtesy hold helps, giving you a short window to finalize plans while your reservation is held.
How to place a courtesy hold
Start the online booking process as usual.
Make sure you enter your correct personal information during the booking process.
When you reach the payment screen, select ‘Courtesy Hold’.
Review the hold details shown on screen, including:
How long the courtesy hold will last.
The date your deposit is due.
Select ‘Reserve Now’ to place the courtesy hold.
Check your email for the confirmation message.
What happens next
If you confirm your booking before the courtesy-hold deadline, you can proceed with a payment and complete the reservation. If you do not confirm by the end of the courtesy hold window, it expires automatically.
