Not available for early flights. Last I knew, cutoff was noon.

No. Not even the entertainers know their schedule in advance. And even then it can change depending on the circumstances. If rough weather is predicted for example when acrobats are scheduled they might switch at the last minute. Best you can figure is that there will be 2 shows in the theater each night, 7 or 7:30, 9 or 9:30. Unless you have a late all-aboard, then only 1 show.

Booking for another cruise would be through the CruiseNext desk, not Guest Services.

You can book at the prevailing rate if there are cabins available. No special discount but sometimes last minute bookings are cheaper. Quite a few people were doing this last year when ships weren't full - and they got some great deals. And if you book onboard, you do get a slight bump up (inside, OV, balcony only) so a better cabin. You can also try to negotiate CruiseNext certificates, although those purchases aren't usually processed until after a cruise. Some of the CruiseNext folks are quite creative, some are relatively clueless, so you might have to make suggestions, based on replies here, to get the best value. Good luck!

Looks like they have several, but only listed through 2024. Wish they'd had the one in Iceland when I went last summer. I always wondered why they didn't offer more of them, seems like a no-brainer to me. I took one in Alaska a few years ago and loved it.

Yes, read the entire thread. The $50 credit is apparently not applicable to the tour.

Follow the bouncing ball. If you book onboard, you pay onboard and the $50 excursion credit is applied after you take the tour. Question was whether or not the $50 is refundable OBC. If you cancel something you booked online once you get onboard, then you get a refund, less the $50, to your onboard account.

Read through the entire discussion...

Technically yes. But it just reduces the cost of what you paid for the excursion in the first place.

If you book online, the credit is applied at the time you book. If you book onboard, the credit is applied after you take the tour. But you still get your $50 credit if you miss the bus - they don't keep track of who shows up. You paid, doesn't matter if you don't show up.

Yea, I just looked. $89 on the Sun and Sky, $99 on the Jewel My cruise on the Sky is 137 days out but available now.

Maybe it didn't? It charged me $89, which is less than people were posting, so I assumed that was the credit. But now I realize that it wasn't a $50 discount... Different prices for different ships? I'm on the Sun.

Actually, I had my first dinner on my last cruise. A very knowledgeable CN manager so got some good information, plus the ability to try to plant a few improvement ideas. But it is the luck of the draw. And the wine flows freely for anybody who doesn't take the drink package!

I'm going with no because this is the first I've ever seen it offered. Only cruisetours I've seen were for Alaska and Hawaii.

Well, with the BOGO offer you can book 1 way - they just charge you half if RT, might be slightly different if your starting and ending ports are different, depending on the airfare for that port. I would assume that if they are changing their airfare program, it would be $75 if only doing 1-way. But pure speculation on my part!

Sadly, they removed the compare option several years ago. You used to be able to do a rudimentary side by side comparison of 3 cruises.

It seems to be different for a solo booking vs multiple passengers. At least that's what I noticed a couple of weeks ago after someone posted about the changes.

I'm a latitudes member and I signed up - I would like to see the engine room and the bridge.

The $50 excursion credit applies. But apparently the latitudes discount does not.

There was a pretty good Queen cover band on one of my cruises, did 2 different shows - did a great Bohemian Rhapsody.

What are you trying to say? If you are before final payment then you get cash back if you've already paid, a reduced invoice amount if you have yet to pay. The FCC is only if the price goes down after final payment and it's a COURTESY, not an obligation on the part of NCL. If prices for what you booked aren't showing then it means that it's sold out and therefore no price drop.

FCC only. Incentive to spend more money by booking another cruise. No need to call anyone to check prices. Just go online and look, although after final payment due date you can only look, you can't put anything on hold.

OP is in Ireland, rules are different.

The FCC that I got when my cruise was cancelled did appear in my account. That FCC was available to use for anything cruise related, could be transferred, etc. When it is used, it is reflected as a payment on your statement. The FCC for a price drop can only be used as an offset for cruise fare and cannot be transferred. Which is why, I would assume, that it has to be applied by a TA or NCL rep. When it is used, it is reflected as a discount (sometimes noted, sometimes not) against the cruise fare on your statement. Just like there are different types of OBC, there are also different types of FCC and the rules are different. So yea, people may see FCC in their account. It depends on the source.

And multiple posters, including me, have said just the opposite.
