tmknies Posted August 21, 2010 #27 Share Posted August 21, 2010 When you book you can ask for them to be added to your invoice. + side it's all included in your payment and is about $20 cheaper. -s obviously you can't go to reception and remove them IF bad service etc.. Thanks, I never knew this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you can't in the US? That link above on DSC explains how to prepay and I believe that's the American NCL site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've paid £45 which at todays rate is $69. Onboard it would cost me 7*12 = $84 so save $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single Cruiser Posted August 21, 2010 #33 Share Posted August 21, 2010 That's a shame. So the only reason would be as per the site to manage your budget. Once it's paid as part of the holiday leaving your onboard account is just food/drink/expenses/excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I never realized, they are kind of "double dipping". They charge you from the day you board and for the full day of disembarkation. Plus they then charge the person(let's say a couple) before you/or after you, so they are really getting $48/1st &last day times 2 or an extra $96. :confused: Wish I could keep that in my pocket.

They charge you for each "night". So day 1 there are no charges. Day 2 there's a charge the 1 to 2 night, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 2 there's a charge the 1 to 2 night, etc. You’re right, they charge for each “night”. Forget about the number of the “days”. Just count the number of “nights”.
