Latitude Members...What Say Ye?

[BayouGirlUSA]

I have taken one NCL cruise on the Spirit March 2012. After that cruise I had 14 points. Seven points for the 7 day cruise and 7 points for booking 9 months in advance. I am booked on the Jewel for November 2013. I will get the same points as stated above for this cruise; making a total of 28 points. When I get on the ship in November, will I be a Bronze Member or a Silver Member?

 

What is Priority Check-In?

You will be silver when you get off the ship. Points are awarded after each completed cruise. Bronze, silver, or gold you get in the same latitudes check in line.

You only get the points awarded after the cruise is completed. They, and you then latitude status, will show on your "my NCL" within a couple of days after you get home usually.

You will have 14 points until AFTER the cruise ends. At that point, you will have the 28 points.

Thanks for the "what say ye" responses. Ya'll are quick! I figured I would be bronze but a girl could hope...LOL! BUT, I will be silver for the POA in 2014!

 

OK, for the priority check-in. When I went on the Spirit, my first NCL cruise, what line was I in? What is the difference between the priority check-in line and "the first time ever to sail NCL line"?

Actually.....very little. In fact, the latitude line is sometimes longer than the first time cruisers line. How fast you process in seems to be based on what time you get there. We get there usually by 10:30 or so and zip right through. Additionally, there will usually be a facilitator directing you to check in lines. Regardless of your status, if there is a shorter line, they will frequently just send you to that one. Last time we were sent to the Casino players line because it was the next available. So...latitude check in may not be any real advantage.

Thanks for the very good explanation! Two of the 3 couples will be bronze and the other couple will be new on our November sailing. More than likely we will be in that 10:30 range and remembering how easy our check-in was in March, I will likely stick with our newbie couple so they feel they are getting the "experienced cruisers" attention....HA! I even laughed when I typed it!

Priority check-in due to lattitudes membership is virtually no benefit at all. Certainly nothing to dread or look forward to. It's check-in, not boarding.

You've already gotten your answer but here is the link to the latitude point count needed for the different levels.
