I believe you can also use a trade confirmation. I'm assuming it has your name on it somewhere. I mean the trade confirmation statement, not the email. For example, Robinhood has a statement that confirms the trade.

They aren't very good with details and consistency. They are a good match for NCL. On the myVIP site it says: "NCL - Evergreen Campaign rewards are limited to 1 purchases in a 180 day period." and for the same reward says this in the Terms and Conditions: "Limited to one Norwegian Cruise Line reward in-app purchase every 60 days. " I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they allow the purchase before 180 days. For me, I'm just going to periodically try and hope NCL lets me use it if I get one.

All slots, all charged to my room. They gave me 2k comps on 40k loss so they probably didn't even consider overall play. 15 day transatlantic on the Prima. Virtually zero historical play. I think I did maybe about $200 in slots a few years ago.

I got that a few months back. So it depends on what you mean by "new" but yeah it wasn't there before.

I started with 0 points so I figure they should at the very least waive any convenience fees after I made Sapphire on the cruise since that's part of the perk. They instead will only do it starting the next cruise. It didn't matter that I had 40k in losses by the end of the cruise and went beyond Ruby status in points. Apparently I was 1 of 3 Rubies and only 1 Elite on the cruise. I'm drawing a distinction between waiving the fees vs comping them at the end based on play. I'm annoyed because they counted the fees towards the comp at the end of the cruise so I ended up paying for some onboard charges out of pocket.

I went from 0 to Ruby on my last cruise. Annoyingly they couldn't tell me which offers are available. I just called in and they don't provide a "list" like Royal or I can go online and see like with Carnival/Royal. Also, I racked up a lot of convenience charges and they took them off but considered it a comp so I ended up having to pay some other onboard charges out of pocket. Based on my losses they appeared to comp 5% but 3% of that are convenience fees. They wouldn't even consider the convenience fees after Sapphire as waived. The hosts on the Prima weren't very friendly. No warm and fuzzies on that cruise. When I called to book my next cruises (B2B) for June, the rep didn't seem too familiar with Ruby status benefits. I guess all this is normal for Casinos at Sea and NCL in general. There's nothing on my reservations to indication the OBC, Unlimited Internet for 1 device, or Open Bar. Am I going to have issues getting these if they don't show up ahead of time? Are people seeing these on the reservation 2 weeks before cruising like someone said? How much OBC can I expect for a 7 day cruise?

I don’t think many people will admit to having more than a few hundred shares. Not with nclh. I can see why but I’ll keep sailing as long as I know what to expect and don’t overpay.

I believe that's because some cabins have 3rd or 4th guests. Other cruise lines report over 100% of what I assume is the same metric. Of course you don't want it to be too high since it indicates you might be able to get more profit by raising prices.

Hmm.. screenshot?

Everything is already priced in so when there's a surprise the stock moves more than usual. Good news is bad when it's not good enough. Bad news is good when it's not so bad. Then there's looking at the future and what the price should be. I bought 100 shares. It'll probably go down more but I lost so much more in the casino on this cruise. 11 more days to go...

Maybe they mean without other people. On the Prima transatlantic I’m on heading to Iceland there’s one guy out there the times I’ve looked around midday. One guy, two hot tubs. The bartender could use the other one if he wanted.

For Manhattan NY a few days ago, once I got past security which only had Haven and not Haven lines and they didn't check boarding times, I used the casino line. The usher didn't check my boarding pass at all. The sign didn't say Pearl or above. I couldn't tell if the agent did anything with the casino status because they processed the Latitudes priority and casino lines together. But after that, we still waited to board the ship and casino seemed to be behind Latitudes people. It was kind of a ship show on this boarding. I don't know how they do it if many more people are there and everything's backed up. Next time I'll.... Ignore the boarding time and get there early to get through security ASAP. Use the casino line if it seems shorter than Latitudes (I'm Shapphire). Board the ship with the group that goes first. (Casino or Shapphire but I'm guessing Latitudes).

I just matched my Crown and Anchor Sapphire to MGM Gold. I'm hoping I can do something similar with Unity. It might be casino status to casino status though. My Prime might not get much on Unity.

I would love more transparency on what the port fees, taxes, etc. for each port are... it seems higher on NCL than other lines. This change seems like a good way to hide this if in fact NCL's are higher. Oh and "expenses" sounds so sketchy.

It depends if they did anything differently for a longer cruise or a transatlantic? For better or worse. Personally I never noticed anything different from a shorter cruise. Does anyone know? Is there any extra cleaning or maybe they change the bedding out completely in the middle?

A few hours before my flight NCL sent a confirmation with the wrong flight time! Maybe it's a JetBlue thing but I guess I should double and triple check everything and do it often. Having a middleman isn't always a good thing.

You can get the refundable OBC online as a gift to yourself. The max is $500 but you can buy two. I also have the nonrefundable shareholder OBC and usually just burn it on Internet but you can use it on excursions, shopping, etc. It'll automatically take from that first before hitting the refundable OBC.

It depends but I have asked and gotten the following: Two entrees at the same place for one dinner while solo (Onda on the Spirit) Two meals at different times using one voucher because I was solo (Food Republic on the Bliss) It's a bit much given the amount of food so I don't do it every time.

For the Latitudes people that get the 1 free bag, have you tried more than 1? I was on a 14 nighter and to my surprise they let me get away with 2 bags. The second bag didn't even have the voucher and was later in the cruise. Maybe I'll try 3 next time. Was it because it was a long cruise? Is this unofficial? Is more than 2 free possible?

No but the FAQ clearly says: "The Shareholder must own Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) stock at the time of sailing." It doesn't say you have to be owning it the whole time. People do book cruises years in advance. I should note the form you sign and submit doesn't say anything about this or even that you are agreeing to the terms and conditions. Then again, it also says singles paying 200% are entitled to the full OBC but I've always received the full amount paying less. I guess they can do whatever they want. I email a photo of the form and a screenshot of a relatively recent statement. I doubt they care since they are very liberal in granting this. I've gotten it for casino cruises that were heavily discounted. Others have gotten it even on comped cruises. Other lines like Royal and Carnival do not allow this. So far I've taken the OBC maybe a dozen times only to give back some of it when the stock goes down so there's some risk. Fortunately I didn't own it pre-pandemic.

I’m surprised at the responses. I would panic. Does this happen when you call? It hasn’t for me. I would think if they were trained properly they would know how to check prices, availability, etc. without a courtesy hold.

What’s getting replaced? Thai sounds like a full service restaurant.

I’ve done that combo multiple times and even added the Amex Offers pts/dollars back on top of it. There’s a current Amex Offers available. I got get $200 back on $1000 spend. And this one can be used multiple times on the same booking when you pay with different cards that have the offer. I’ve been told no when I tried to add another casino partner’s promo. I tried to add the Caesars Rewards Diamond percent off perk. I was told it’s only one casino partner per booking.

I was told the only difference with premium is VPN isn’t blocked. Makes some sense since it’s work people that use VPN. The speed and everything else is the same. Is this true?
