swedish weave Posted November 30, 2011 #251 Share Posted November 30, 2011 yea that can't be at all hard! How true !! They can probably also tell when, where, and how much you spent each time you swiped your card !! I doubt if that would ever be publicized !!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall Posted November 30, 2011 #252 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I also wonder if they would try to look back to determine when past cruises were booked. I wonder if the extra early booking points will be given for going forward, not retroactively. It would be much easier...If you subtract the early booking points, how many would you have? Somewhere in Gold? That would work for ours...went from silver to gold and according to BikerAl's info that would give us 74 points now if the extra early booking points are only given from now forward. Otherwise we would be over 76 with atleast 4 of ours booked 9 months out +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg013 Posted November 30, 2011 #253 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Works for us. I would have 68 points. (Gold) I hope the points for booking 9 months in advance all count because our last two were booked at least 9 months in advance to get the OBC - one sailed, one not. If not I would have 7 less points. (I didn't add in the 7 for the one not sailed yet.) I wonder if we will be able to see how many points we actually have?

NYcruzzer Posted November 30, 2011 #254 Share Posted November 30, 2011 yes ...me also..(though not exact numbers of course) I show silver but would be gold...so not sure which part of the "equation" is off.. Perhaps the 9 months advance booking and lattitudes insider bonuses are only 1 point each per cruise..NOT 1 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars7816 Posted November 30, 2011 #255 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've been upgraded, too. Great PR work by NCL. Now I feel that they really, really like me!! :D:D:D It makes me want to sail away like a Norwegian, ya sure, ya betcha'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger001 Posted November 30, 2011 #257 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Since we're all soon to be, if not already, platinum, Le Bistro and the ship's tour of the bridge, etc is going to be getting pretty crowded........unless a benefits change accompanies this also.

gma_pat Posted November 30, 2011 #258 Share Posted November 30, 2011 hummmm by using that formula, I'd have 52 point.. but it shows me still as silver... I guess I'll have to wait to hear for certain and then give them a call. Thanks! Me too... with that formula I should have 55 pts... but just went from bronze to silver :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonChap Posted November 30, 2011 #261 Share Posted November 30, 2011 1 cruise night = 1 pt1 cruise night in suite = 2 pts 1 cruise night on sailing booked 9 months earlier = 1 additional pt per night 1 pt per night on cruise booked as monthly latitudes insider offer Al, can you find out when the pre booking and Latitudes bonus points kick in? From doing the math, I think they migrated only the points for nights and suites to the new program. If they had done points for early bookings in the transition, we would be Platinum instead of Gold. I am wondering if I will get the points for booking the 3 cruises we now have booked 9 months early and through Latitudes. Or, is it only for new bookings after December 5. Overall, I like the new program. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in Gold? Actually, yes....I come up with 48 if I don't count any early booking points, so that would put me in gold, where they now say I am. :) This time next year after my upcoming cruises, I will be platinum...pretty cool to go from bronze to platinum that quick. I was bronze this time last year. How true !! They can probably also tell when, where, and how much you spent each time you swiped your card !! I doubt if that would ever be publicized !! You really think they keep ALL that information?? :eek: :confused: I know they could...but why would they store all that information from all those passengers?? It seems insane.

peg013 Posted November 30, 2011 #267 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Al, can you find out when the pre booking and Latitudes bonus points kick in? I would think AFTER you actually sail. From doing the math, I think they migrated only the points for nights and suites to the new program. If they had done points for early bookings in the transition, we would be Platinum instead of Gold. I am wondering if I will get the points for booking the 3 cruises we now have booked 9 months early and through Latitudes. Or, is it only for new bookings after December 5. Overall, I like the new program. I'm guessing if you didn't already sail you should get the points once you do. K Same with me, if I take away any early booking points I would be Silver... so maybe that's it. Did you count early booking points for cruises sailed, booked or both? We are too far into Gold to know if we got the 14 points for the two cruises we did in suites and booked 9 months in advance to get the OBC. We should definately get the points for our cruise next December in a suite. I'm glad we will be able to see how many points we have next week so we'll know for sure.

roxette Posted November 30, 2011 #268 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I booked my next cruise, a 17 night cruise, 9 and a half month ahead of time. Will that give me 17 points extra? Or one point? 17 extra points would be awesome! That would make me platinum after just five cruises. No suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver1975 Posted December 1, 2011 #271 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So, from what I am reading here, NCL will make a mediocre loyalty program even less so by flooding the program with the top level designation and probably over time take away the few perks that were there because of too may people to have to give them to. Way to go NCL. *shaking head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4cruising Posted December 1, 2011 #272 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wonder if they will give every one their breakdown per sailings? I know what ships I been on but can not remember how many days some of the old ones were and I am sure I early booked on most since I am known for that.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should definately get the points for our cruise next December in a suite. I'm glad we will be able to see how many points we have next week so we'll know for sure. The transition will use points for nights and suites only on cruises you have already sailed. That I got from NCL. The question still is if we will get the early booking and Latitudes booking bonus points for cruises already booked but not sailed or if it's just for bookings made after December 5th. That should be interesting, especially for those of us that already have cruises booked a few years in advance. It doesn't matter to us. We will enjoy a gold or plat cruise just as much as our first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted December 1, 2011 #274 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Now the next thing will be if you can prove you booked prior cruises greater than 9 months in advance, will they be willing to credit you for those. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
