gone are vip services.....for gold and above. New perks for platinum free washing 5 days of more....

also gone maybe is the welcome basket and food delivery each night....(or some of the nights)

I didn't see an explanation as to how to get the benefits. Of course, that may be in the white space I can't see - it's a box with an X in the corner. That's probably where the info is about the short cruises not qualifying for the perks. :confused:

Complimentary "Behind the Scenes" Ship Tour for Platinum was a $50 + tour on the Gem earlier this month

"... Cruises taken while traveling on a travel agent, interline or family & friends as well as cruises taken while using a cruise credit certificate do not count towards your Latitudes membership level. On-board latitudes benefits are provided on cruises 5-days or more...."

Does this mean that if say my mother-in-law pays for a family cruise, only she gets the credit?

What about if my DH and I go together, but I pay with "my credit card", does he still get a credit?

Also, no more benefits on anything less than 5 days but do those count for your overall total?

No mention either as to how many cruises you need for which level (or colour fish) :confused:

has the number of cruises for each level & what you get at each level.

DH is going to LOVE hearing about this. He will be on the Gem next week. Hopefully it kicks in right away.:)

that's the biggy for me. sometimes the fruit is a little under-ripe, but the wine was always welcomed and it was nice to have a little fruit to nibble on through-out the cruise as well as the little special goodies some nights.

Sorry but that's incorrect - Big Green's post refers to OLD levels, not new.

No more "Latitudes ship pin" and those of us with them will treasure it, making them collector's items ??

My wife is going to love the free laundry.

What am I missing - I don't see the free laundry on the list on uk site:confused:?

NCL, freestyle web pages, they do seem to mess thing up don't they.

The free laundry is the wash and fold bag, so handy but not outstanding.

No, the reference to "family and friends" is to special rates -- like employee rates cruiseline employees can share with their family and friends. Cruise credit isn't a reference to a credit card. Your last question I don't know -- I agree with the poster above -- that little detail is probably in the white space with the big X. Go figure, a new page at ncl.com with technical errors! :rolleyes: Does their web department have ANY quality control at all?

I'm a bit foggy - no coffee yet - how do I find the info you are discussing? What does the reference to travel agent mean? I trust it doesn't mean we have to book directly? :confused:

Also, no more benefits on anything less than 5 days but do those count for your overall total?

Yeah, good question, I'd like to know where they tell us how to qualify for each level?!

We did not become silver latitudes until after we completed our 5th cruise, not the 4th.

thats what it says on the lists

Silver 5-8 completed cruises.

Is this correct:

For Platinum they have eliminated the Exclusive Captain's cocktail hour?

The Cagney's lunch and breakfast?

Restaurant reservations are allowed 72 hours prior not when you board?

I get free laundry on Carnival it is a very nice perk to add.

This is not clear:

In all my questionaires from NCL I have stated that all I care about is that they do not reduce our perks. These are the reasons why I travel with NCL. I enjoy the perks.

Cagney's Breatfast and lunch was never on any Latitudes perk list.

No change in earning levels.

One change in the small print for you SKY and CTN passengers

* To become a Latitudes member, you must have taken at least one full tariff cruise with NCL since 1995 when the Latitudes program began. Cruises taken while sailing on a travel agent, interline or family and friends rate as well as cruises taken using a cruise credit certificate do not count toward your Latitudes membership level. On-board Latitudes benefits are provided on cruises of five days or more. Early disembarkation is only available to U.S. citizens due to immigration restrictions, and benefits vary for international guests.
