You are very welcome. We will be boarding the Joy the day you get off. Have a wonderful cruise! We love the Bermuda run from New York.

Oh, I misunderstood your thought. I applied the Certificates myself.

There will be no tax charged while docked in Bermuda.

Mine were new certificates we purchased last month.

And you can reprice your booked cruise as many times you want before the final payment date.

And hot chocolate!

And it would be wonderful to keep it going forward to the next triple up as I will need another one by next February after this June when I inquire more.

But if you did not have a travel agent and booked directly, you would of been able to apply the third one yourself. In any case, glad you got the third one applied.

No, I do not have it. I have the Alaska Bliss coupon, but will not be using it.

Not true. Our Viva February 2025 cruise has gone up over $2200 since booking.

You are very welcome!

I always look at it as $250 as the money came from another cruise that has been paid for. And I put the cost of buying new certificates in the cruise budget of the cruise I will be buying them on. My husband and I have been debating back and forth about cancelling our February 2025 Viva cruise to do something else (which is also booked). This additional $250 savings, puts me back on "let's stick with the Viva" phase.

Do you see your certificates in your account? If you do, when you go to make a payment, click on payment amount putting $250 in the box, then go down and click on your certificate, then go down and click on the I accept box (or whatever it states), then hit make payment.

Yes, I was able to apply the Certificates to our already booked cruises using the NCL website.

We also have never gotten any laundry done--even with the free platinum bags. Maybe we will give it a try in June.

@IAcruising, that statement got right pass me! The Vibe is 100% not filled with mostly Haven passengers. Are there some Haven passengers in the Vibe? Yes, but the are in the low minority.

Just applied third certificates to 2025 booked cruises!

We did buy Vibe passes for our June 2025 Encore cruise for a few reasons: - we are going with extended family (all adults) and thought it would be a great space to meet up - we were on the Jewel this past September and really missed having a Vibe to go to - heard (and had it confirmed with the Encore Vibe staff last month) that they also serve clam chowder and hot chocolate among other things (the now hard to find cookies) - they provide nice blankets to keep you warmer if needed - not worrying if there will be any hot tub space (on the Jewel, there were a few days when we wanted to go into a hot tub, but they were always crowded) - we are not into the spa (full disclosure, we have never done it) - it provides another great space to watch the beautiful Alaska scenery go by - and @cruiseny4lifeswayed my decision when I was looking into it I will definitely report back on our experience.

Will be more than happy to send you my contact but I have to figure out how to send a PM first.

Thank you, that would be wonderful. We purchased some extra ones last month just to have on hand just in case NCL ran the triple up promotion again.

@mperrizo Thank you for taking the time to report on your Viva experience. I appreciated your writing style as it was a very easy read. We are currently booked on the same itinerary next year on the Viva and have been going back and forth whether to cancel and do a land-based vacation, so your report was very informative to us.

@YVRteacher I cannot say enough of how much I really enjoy reading your live (and the non live) trip reports. Thank you, again, for always sharing your adventures with us. Regarding the latitudes Behind the Scenes Tour, how did you know they would offer you the latter option when you said no to the 8:00 a.m. tour? Every time we signed up, we have only been given one option which was on the early side. Last month on the Encore, we had two incorrect charges on our cabin account which I caught immediately. In one case, they added a $10 tip to one of our MDR dinners when we left a cash tip that night. The Guest Services representative had the attitude like I was trying to take back the tip. Very happy to read you are having a wonderful time and looking forward to continuing following along.

We did not go the The Wheel of Fortune last month on the Encore. We will not go in June on the Joy.

Happy travel day!

You are very welcome. If canceling, just make sure it is before the sail date.
