Hold onto your hat, possibility of glitches to come....

I check on prices all the time without logging in - but I stop at the summary page so no calls from random PCCs, reminders to finish my booking or duplicate Latitudes numbers. They don't have my information so don't contact me. The only thing I've ever noticed missing is any information regarding latitudes benefits.

I was told that they are using up the old vouchers, new ones to come. But what they will say is anybody's guess! NCL isn't known to make things very clear. And the T&Cs still say you can't go to the same restaurant twice but the CN folks onboard say you can - so that's kinda lucy goosey.

I once tried to substitute the sparkling wine they used to give all latitudes members. Only choice they gave me was a non-alcoholic version.

You will get 2 sets of vouchers, for a total of 4 vouchers for the Sapphire and Platinum members - 2 meals each. You might have to ask for the 2nd set. How you use them is up to you - other than just giving them to the first-timers. In other words, I believe at least 1 eligible member must be present but can bring a guest. And to stave off the "but vouchers are per room" argument that is sure to follow:

If you don't get an opportunity to bid by using the link then in all probability your reservation is not eligible. Did you book through a big box TA?

No actual experience. Closest experience would be when a CN manager onboard put an extended due date for paying a deposit. Not sure why, I think it has to do with buying CNs onboard that aren't available until the end of the cruise. I'd think an extension would be more likely than changing payment after the final payment due date. I'd be afraid they might mess up and the reservation gets accidentally cancelled. I'd start with your PCC but hopefully your card comes in time.

110 days so 3 weeks ago

And payment is due on a specific date. NCL can extend the due date while the card is in the mail - or for any other reason a person might have for regarding an extension. So no, you are NOT dealing with the bank in order to make a payment.

Of course, although by that logic they would rather get more than just the gratuity from heavy drinkers also, yet they don't put limits like some other cruiselines seem to do. But I don't buy the soda package because it's not cost effective - I don't drink that much soda to begin with and I can usually get my daily fill in port, plus I prefer Pepsi. So instead of getting the gratuity on the soda package - which I would pay if part of FAS - they currently get little, if anything from me. And what they do get is OBC.

I just looked and the airfare seems to be offered for later cruises? Promo used to fall off at day 90 but I think they just changed it to 110 days, so nothing before mid October will have airfare available.

A small caveat, based on the World Points upgrade process - which may or may not have the same processes. I was able to get FCC also, after using points for an upgrade. But someone else posted that when they reversed the process (asked for FCC, then their upgrade) they lost the FCC. I wouldn't venture to guess whether that was due to the order or just the fact that it was 2 adjustments after final pay - but probably a good idea to request your upgrade before final payment.

Just because the site accepted it doesn't always mean the required deposit amount has been fulfilled. You may find that your reservation is still in pending status, the system had no reason to refuse your payment but that doesn't mean that it's all you need to pay. On the confirmation you received from NCL, what does it say under payment schedule. Should say something like FIRST DEPOSIT due on xxxxx - that's the amount you have to pay now or your reservation will be cancelled.

If the card is late I would suggest you call NCL the day before your payment is due and ask for an extension - I think they might be able to do that - but probably a good idea to get it in writing. Your other option is to call BofA and see if they can give you the info...good luck.

If only...I've put that in my post-cruise survey comments many times. Not everyone drinks. Some by choice, some for medical reasons. It would be nice to have it as an option. I think I've seen some people able to get it substituted with a dr. note. I just get my soda fix by using my OBC to pay on an individual basis (probably good to cut back anyway) - or get my preferred Pepsi while in port.

You can remove the drink package and/or meal package before final payment, it will lower you cost. Other aspects of your reservation should not be affected. Same for BOGO.

This happened to me once, just called my PCC, got a refund to my original form of payment. But you do get the current promos so you could lose points - or gain more. And airfare prices have increased in some cases. Also, if you had a double up CN promo when you booked and you don't have a balcony, they will return the 2nd CNC to your account.

Be careful. If you use a double-up promotion and do a price adjustment, they now take the 2nd CN certificate off of the reservation if there is no applicable double-up at the time. It seems like the triple-up promo from January went under the radar (stayed on reservation even with a price drop) but that could change at any time.

When I was there last August tickets to blue lagoon had been sold out for months - I had checked on it before I even left home. You could take the bus to the area but that was it.

Just did a mock booking, no problem

That's the only one that showed for mine as well. Might just be the app, since it's still showing as available to book...One never knows with NCL.

I was booked for Australia in 2025 - only itinerary that was mostly Australia - it was just cancelled, much later than all the others. So I was holding out hope. Curious, does your Jan 28 cruise have any excursions available?

I'm booked for January 4, 2024 - same itinerary. It is still showing as of now. But, as of now, there is only 1 excursion listed which makes me a little nervous. Also booked for Papeete to Sydney in December 2023 (couldn't make up my mind) and there are plenty of excursions - so it's not like it's too early. But both dates are still showing as available for booking on the website so maybe they are making an itinerary change. If they cancel the Spirit cruise I booked to replace the one they originally cancelled do I get multiple 10 & 20% off coupons? Just joking, that's not how NCL works. And I still haven't gotten a notice for the one they already did cancel...

They can't read either.... I've sent in a number of post-cruise comments, some good, some not so good. And the responses are nearly always totally off subject. For example if you suggest they offer non-alcoholic latitudes benefits - or something other than strawberries for people who are allergic - the response will be something along the lines of how to put in a special needs request.
