Rebooking bargains online

[iewe]

Oops -- title says online but I meant on board!! :)

 

I know that some cruise lines offer special deals if you book another cruise while on board -- does NCL do anything like this?

No actual bookings done on the ship..........but......

 

You can purchase a "Cruise Reward Certificate". The price is $250 and you automatically receive a $100 OBC for the cruise you are on (So the price is basically $150).

 

I believe you have 4 years to use the certificate, and can book a cruise of 5 or 6 days or longer with any TA or directly with NCL.

 

The certificate is good for the entire deposit on the next cruise, unless you are in one of the high end suites which would require more of a deposit.

 

If you do a search on the boards here for cruise reward certificates you can find a lot more information on them. :)

The ones we bought a couple of weeks ago had to be for 6 day or longer cruises.

Your right, I just checked the fine print on NCL's website...

 

At least I was able to use them once or twice for 1 or 2 day cruises before they changed the terms...:)

Please be aware that you can only use 1 Cruise Reward Certificate per cabin, not per person. Luckily this wasnt a problem for me because we wound up booking 2 cabins, so we split my husband and myself up. Nice to book a $1,700 cabin and only need the $250 deposit. :D

 

You can transfer the Cruise Reward Certificate to someone else if they are Latitude members. It takes about 24 hours and there was no charge that I am aware of.

they are the way to go specially if you know you will be cruising NCL in the next 4 years!!

we purchased 4 of them on our December cruise and gave one as a gift-done very easily and there isnt a fee or anything!

it is NICE to not have to make that deposit at the time of booking!!

plan to get at least 1 or 2 more on our next cruise:)
