[quote name='AWinkler']The certificates will be mailed out by Jan. 31, '09 automatically, so you'll want to request yours a few weeks before final payment is due.[/quote]

Can we actually trust that this will happen and that everyone will receive the correct amount of certificates? I'm not sure I can trust them.:confused:

I haven't received my letter yet, but I just had this gut feeling...

 

Does anyone have a certificate in hand? Our next NCL cruise is booked for December 2009. Do the certificates specifically state that they must be used on a cruise taking place within a year, or used as payment for a cruise within a year? :confused:

 

I don't want to call and get them too soon, but I don't want to wait too late and miss out.

Thanks! I know you're right, it's just a little nerve racking! :eek:

 

I definitely wouldn't send them in for final payment. We've changed this cruise date several times (booked on board our last NCL cruise!), and don't anticipate changing it again as we were waiting for the Dec '09 cruises to come out. If anything, we might do an additional cruise BEFORE that one. :)

 

I'll probably just keep a close eye on these boards, BoA and the news in general, holding out until at least the first of the year.

As I check this thread every day or two, I have to wonder if NCL will decide to cancel this deal someday because it's such a great deal! I also wonder if the current financial crisis will affect BOA in a bad way. :eek:

 

So my questions is, I will have 2500 points (after next statement) - 1500 on one and 1000 on the other. We have a cruise booked for December 2009. Should I go ahead and get my certs just to be safe??? :confused:

This question is probably on here somewhere, but search isn't working...

 

If you've paid with coupons and then need to switch your cruise, do the coupons transfer as with prior $$$ payments?

 

Sometimes I get to reading about how great this program is and wonder if I should go ahead and send my 4 coupons in as payment in the event NCL/BOA drop this program....:eek:

My first cruise was on the Starward in 1981. I remember thinking that the cruise was great but I probably wouldn't want to do that again. This October I will go on cruise No. 25 on the Explorer of the Seas. I guess cruising just gets in your blood.

One thing I remember about the Starward is that there were no TV's in the cabins, and the Starward had a large movie theater (which I believe was later converted into cabins). The cruise was in September, and it had to go about fifty miles off course to avoid a hurricane.

 

I was on this cruise! Me and my friend Vicki were barely 18. We had our first drinks on that trip. We stayed up all night with three guys we met from Houston to watch the sun rise. I have pictures somewhere.
