Reward Certificate

[Chesneygirl]

We are thinking of doing a CTN on the Breakaway this January. Does anyone happen to know if I can use my Cruise Reward Certificate to put towards a 2 night CTN or does it have to be a longer cruise?

[www3traveler]

No, Cruise Rewards are good on cruises 6 nights or longer.

Bummer...thanks for your quick reply. :)

Are you allowed to "sell" a reward on here that will expire in one year? I bought 2 for hubby and I and now I find I only need one for the both of us. I was gonna sell the $250 one for a loss of $200. If I can "transfer it" as my travel agent says is ok....I'll give my email.

I've transferred quite a few of the cruise rewards to other people, and have seen them for sale on ebay. If you have a Personal Cruise Consultant they should be able to handle the transfer for you. :)

TRAVEL MOM..... I live just outside of MATHIS Tex... and will be glad to buy your extra voucher....just contact me....jimjk2 @aol.com

 

jus' me...jim.....:cool:

[Travel Mom]

I emailed you from my gmail...haven't heard from you.

[Monalis]

stupid question... If you don't use all the OBC from buying a certificate, do you lose it, or is it refunded at the end of the cruise?

[peg013]

When you buy the certificate you are charged $250 and then credited with $100. So your account balance goes up $150........no need to spend it anywhere else.

Not really applicable. The $100 OBC is automatically credited to your account when you purchase the FCR for $250. Your net cost will be $150. The $100 OBC is already pre-spent in a manner of speaking. If you spent nothing for the remainder of the cruise, you would owe NCL $150. Anything extra that you spend will be added to your $150 tab. The $100 OBC is really just a discount. At least that's the way I look at it.

[peg013]

I emailed you from my gmail...haven't heard from you.

 

Did you take the space out of his email address? How much are you are selling it for? If you do not hear from him email me at Hannaford2 @ gmail.com (remove spaces) Please put CC in the Subject line.

Oh ok that is a much better way of looking at it. Thanks :)

I sold one on eBay. Just make sure the buyers are aware of all terms and conditions. Easy to transfer but they have to be latitudes members of course.

Actually there is no need to already be a Latitude member. I have twice now transferred to friends that have never cruised before. They assign them a Guest number when they transfer it and it becomes their Latitude number once they have cruised.

quick question: not sure if I should start a new thread:

 

(this is wayy back in Sept-ish & cruise isn't until June)

bought for going forward 1 cabin -- 3 ppl. one using the cruise reward.

We're going w/ another couple.. so they book 1 cabin.

 

Bad news, other couple, hubby passed away & they refunded their cabin.

Problem -- booked outside airfare. They refunded hubby's plane ticket but not hers.

so now-- can we change the 1 cabin for 3 into 2 (will they credit the difference? or can we change to another category cabin? do we need to submit a letter,etc requestion full refund...

 

will still have 2 cabins - 2 ppl each (total 4 ppl going w/o hubby)

We just want to change category or floor of the cabins. Originally, they only had the 3 ppl cabin on the 13th floor. We rather have it on lower level. (lower floor is better for her seasickness)

 

Sorry.. just run on sentences/thoughts.

will be going to travel agent thurs/friday.. no answers at the moment because it's the holidays...

 

Thx.

Cynthia

We have two certificates that we will likely run out of time to use...has anyone had luck extending them with ncl or being able to use them on less than 6day cruise.

I have seen at least one person say that they were able to get it extended.

 

You can also attempt to sell (transfer) it.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I will give it a go with ncl reservations... If anyone wants to buy one or two of them let me know (in case i am not succesful)

If you are not successful, contact me at off the heap@ gmail.com (remove the spaces). Maybe we can work something out for one of them.

Can't be used on less than 6 day cruise.

Never heard of anyone getting extension but maybe depends on circumstances.

Can be sold or transferred.

[rvsullivan]

It's been reported that a short extension is possible. Maybe 30 days or so. Many people buy and sell them, usually if there is some significant time left on them you can get the $150 you spent for them. If they have very little time left it might be less valuable. Good luck.
