We do not book directly through HAL.We have been able to deal with a TA that we like for nearly 25 years.By buying Future deposits while on a ship, we get shipboard credit for a future cruise. We also get shipboard credit by owning Carnival stock and since we use the AMEX Platinum card to pay for our cruises, we get shipboard credit there. And sometimes we get cruise credit from out TA.So far none of the cruises that we have booked qualified for either the Explore4 program (offered last summer) or the Above and Beyond program.
