Thanks Nora4sure

The party was in the Spinnaker Lounge on the Dawn for adults and the kids party was out on deck. I thought I saw a few guys with wings as well as girls. We saw lots of people with a white shirt or blouse or a pair or pants or shorts. You can buy a white hot tshirt from one of the shops that day if you want a souvenier. We went for a little while. As the previous poster mentioned...lots of strobe lights, loud music and dancing. It was a good time.

Hi Nora4sure ...I know this may sound like dumb question ...but are kids not allowed Spinnaker Lounge adult party ...last year on the Spirit I saw the kids in the lounge

Thanks

In the future, you can wait until you are billed and then pay the full balance off once each month. This is the best way to get the most out of the card

Thanks for the help ...I will take your advice and wait until Monday to call. As for the advice above seems like I typed to quickly and type everything I should have with my last post sorry for taht

What I am trying to do is charge all of my weekly expenses ...ie gas in vehicles $200 or so , Groceries $150...etc and then pay them off at the end of the week . This way the money still comes out of my checking account...my fear is we will see the balance in the checking account and forget about the charges we made to teh BCL card and think we have more money to spend

I figure if I charge everything I can possible spend money on to the card (and pay it off so I do not carry a balance) I should be able to rack up the points before the cruise in June / July next year

Thanks everyone for your help I think I've got it now

Ed

Yes I am going to call tehm ..I didn't have time yesterday but I am going to make time today

Not sure itf you read correctly or I mistyped something but I will try to clear this up .

September 23 - I signed up for the card on the ship

September 24 - I got off the ship my onboard purchases were put on card

September 27 - I went onlione to pay my morgage (BOA) and there was my credit card already online so I PAID IT OFF

Oct 2-10- Made Purchases

October 15th - Paid off credit Card

Balance ...$0

Not sure when I get a statement my guess is the closing date should be Oct 24th so my statement should be here soon

Having said that ..I am a CASH person meaning I hate credit cards .only use them when I have to and pay them off immediately

The only reason I even got this card was because I took my wife on a Boston to Bermuda cruise for a cheap 15yr anniversary trip . We live in teh area and drove to the port. Well the ship never made it to Bermuda tahnks to Hurricane Igor :mad:

Well we still want to go to Bermuda and with the 10,000 bonus points equaling $100 on board credit plus the fact that I purchased a future cruise on board.. I now have $350 towards next years cruise ...the cost of this crusie only cost me $475 per person ...my goal is to go for FREE next year :D

Thanks

Ed

There was no minimum first purchase in fact when I left the ship with the cash I was going to use to pay for my onboard purchases put it back in my bank and as soon as it appeared on my online banking I paid it off.

I have been making purchases just to gain points ...probably 6 and paying it off asap ..and I have made at least 4 payments and I still haven't even received my first statement .

I am going to call today ...as you may be able to tell I am not a credit card person ,meaning I don't like them and don't use them. I do have another credit card but it has a zero balance If I do use it I pay it off immediately

It seems like I may be doing something wrong

Thanks

Ed

Sorry I wasn't clear ...I have made plenty of purchase inluding my on ship purchases

Alright so I got suckered into getting this credit card while onboad my cruise to get 10,00 bonus points or $100 onboard credit This was in September...to be exact teh card got processed on the 24th

I am getting concerned as my points are still showing up as pending ...can anyone tell me how long does it take to for them to be available

Thanks

Ed

Yes OBC can be applied to anything you charge to your room

and tips are added to your bill daily .. NCL is $12 per person per day

http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/cruiser/cmsPages.html?pageId=WorldPoints

 

You can get a $1,000 OBC... but I don't know why you would want that much OBC for a 7 day cruise. $500 off any cruise for 50,000 World Points, according to the chart, so if you are trying to get $ off your cruise instead of OBC, according to the chart you can get up to $500 off.

EXCURSIONS ... I spent almost $1300 on this past cruise and we only made 2 stops..though going to Bermuda I probably won't spend that much

Also to get 100,000 points would take a while

Ed -

 

Sorry, I re-read your post and we are talking about two different things

If you want to cruise for free then you don't want OBC (on board credit - that pays for tips, drinks, excursions, etc) what you want is a cruise discount certificate.

 

Go to the rewards section and you will see the different offerings.

nothing to be sorry about ....Six of one half dozen of another if you get down to it I am going to spend the money either way

Thanks

Ed

4. You can also get a cruise discount certificate in the amts of $100, $250 and $500. You can only get ONE EACH of these per stateroom/cruise. This is a change from the past program where you could cash in all your certificates and cruise free. However, IMHO, it is not worth it to redeem for OBC or cruise discounts. Instead, charge everything to your M/C. For example: you can take a $250 redemption for discount or OBC OR you can charge it to your M/C, get double points and have more free stuff than if you'd taken just the free stuff. Get it? Then, when the time is right - like maybe before your M/C payment is due :p you can have some cash transferred to your checking acct to pay off your bill.

Thanks for the reply

Ok so the most I can get is a 500 OBC ..I was basically trying to get my trip from Boston to Bermuda for FREE ... $500 that would be the same as 1 1 FREE trip...so I may have to get creative liek you said

Thanks

Ed

I am new to credit cards points While onboard the SS IGOR :D (Boston to Bermuda)

I signed up for the NCL credit card while on board ...seemed like a good idea but now I have few questions

1. Is there a limit to how many points you can earn in a year ?

2. Is there a limit to how many points you can redeem ...example I see a $500 OBC ...but could I potential get a $500 and $250

3.Can I pay off the balance at anytime or does it need to be on there for a certain number of days to get the points ?

The main reason I ask is becaue due to Hurricane Igor we never made it to Bermuda ...this was a Surprise 15 yr anniversary trip ..instead we ended up in Florida and the Bahamas . My goal is to sail for FREE or close to it as possible as our cruises for the next 2 yrs are already planed

Thanks
