Eiansmomma Posted June 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2014 We are brand new to NCL. We have cruised on Carnival previously and will be cruising on Celebrity this summer. We just booked our first cruise with NCL and I need help navigating their website. I have been able to make payments online with the other two cruise companies but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it on NCL (I feel silly). I was also wondering how I set a credit card to be used for our online purchases. I haven't even had a chance to really check-out the ship yet. I do know about sailing "freestyle" (awesome)! What about a kids club? While scrolling I haven't seen any mention of them. I have also heard that NCL has some of the best entertainment. True?!?!

Sauer-kraut Posted June 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You don't tie your credit card to on board expenses until you check-in at the terminal, so don't sweat that part. :D Kids clubs...yep there are levels beginning with age 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novastar Posted June 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I already have a NCL account - just trying to figure out how I can make a payment online on my reservation Did you book directly with NCL or with a travel agent? If you used a TA, all payments need to be made through the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad7k Posted June 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I already have a NCL account - just trying to figure out how I can make a payment online on my reservation Hello, I recently booked out first cruise with NCL and had the same problem However, We booked a cruise and stay to Hawaii. I notified NCl through their 800 # and emailed them. I was told that they know about the problem and I would have to call to make payments or book excursions. Here is their response through email. Dear Guest, Our E-commerce Department is aware of the following issue unfortunately they are unable to provide us with a time frame as to when or how long it will be before the issue is resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience.:( Note, This was just for the stay, flight and cruise deal. Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted June 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I already have a NCL account - just trying to figure out how I can make a payment online on my reservation I just logged in to myncl to see - and then the cruises I have booked comes up, and on each of them there is a yellow box where it says "Make a payment". You just choose that and then you can pay as much you want as often that you want.... Another option is to open your "Vacation Summary", and then just "click" on the blue letters that says "Payment Status" almost at the top, and then choose to make payments.

newmexicoNita Posted June 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 6, 2014 it looks like the answer to your payment question was just answered. We always use a TA so I would not have a clue how to pay on line. I have paid for tours on line many times. Yes, the kid club is for all ages from 3 to 18 and from what I have heard it is wonderful. Our great granddaugher never wanted to leave it. The entertainment is top of the line. Of course like anything, it depends on the ship. By this I mean, the newer mega ships have more sophisticated entertainment.

I just went thru my reservation again and I don't have a payment button anywhere. I also just realized we didn't receive a confirmation email when we booked our cruise. Looks like my husband might need to make a phone call. We will be sailing on the Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that many other options on their website are not available on a smartphone or iPhone - maybe that is the explanation for this as well? If not - then give NCL a call, hopefully they get it sorted out for you. I am in Europe but logged in to the American website without any problems.

We booked thru "casinos" so we won't have the option to pay online. Thanks for the help everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
