I agree with everything UKStages suggested Carnival applies your OBC to pre-booked excursions (ones you book before you get on ship). NCL doesn’t do that. By the time I get on board I don’t have anything to spend my OBC on. Very frustrating. On one cruise I waited until I got on board to book an excursion so I could use my OBC and it was sold out. I hate the convenience fee in the casino too. I charge everything to my NCL credit card so I “make” 3% on my purchases but if you aren’t at least Sapphire in casino they charge you 3% to charge your play so it’s a wash. To someone else’s comment about Princess - I also have stopped getting “Plus” packages included in my Come Back and Cruise offers.

My Certificate didn’t “say” it but I was also told that multiples could be used for TripleUps. That promotion was going on during the March Bliss sailing in March, but I was “told” the CasNext definitely COULD be combined with CruiseNext. Very strange. My friend just got off the Dawn less than 3 weeks ago and her CasNexts also don’t have any expiration dates on them….sounds like not all the ships are using the same templates for the CasNext Certificates - I guess I’ll have to call. Thanks.

I just got a CasNext March 23, 2024….there is no expiration date on it. I had previously gotten one and it said it had to be used within a year of being issued….I’m thinking maybe they have eliminated the expiration period (the way they did with CruiseNext). Unlike CruiseNext, CasNext are not transferable You CAN use 2 CasNexts for 1 stateroom during DoubleUp promotions. The Certificate says CasNext cannot be combined with Cruise First Certificates The Certificate “says” it can’t be combined with CruiseNexts either BUT when I got the Certificate both the casino host and the Future Cruise Director told me that during DoubleUp promotions, it CAN. I haven’t tried to use this CasNext yet….
