If you booked through a Travel agent and already made final payment, are you able to upgrade your room? If so, would you then be eligible for any of these deals?

If you booked through a Travel agent and already made final payment, are you able to upgrade your room? If so, would you then be eligible for any of these deals?

 

If you are past final payment date (and therefore NCL has cancellation fees already in place), then you're out of luck because in most cases you need to cancel your original booking in order to get the new booking promo.

 

If you are not past final payment (and not within non-free cancellation timeframe, usually starts 75 days before the cruise), your TA might have different fees associated to cancelling and rebooking, but other than that you should be able to succeed.

Thank you for this information regarding the upcoming sale.

 

Last year, we were 6 booked in the Haven and rebooked (and still saved over $1000) getting the UBP and UDP included. Four of us were able to take advantage of the UBP and we were buying the packages regardless if we had the sale or not.

 

This year, we are 10 in the Haven. We all planned on purchasing the same, UDP and UBP (My dh/I did come out $200 over the price of the package last year since I kept my receipts). Six of us will be able to take advantage of the UBP and we were going to purchase anyway and the 4 under 18 would have gotten the soda package so I plan on booking as soon as the Summer for 2016 opens, which I hope is tomorrow with this deal. I want to cruise on Breakaway Summer 2016.

 

Thank you.

Does it include Caribbean sailings?

I am sure it does, but I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow to learn exactly which sailings.

As long as they don't raise the prices too much I'll rebook with that deal.

I'm curious, since we've had plenty of advance notice for this sale, have people actually noticed prices going up in the last few days? Several of the cruises I am watching have actually gone down, but again, I don't know yet if they will be included in this promotion.

The couple that I have my eye on (both are suites) are exactly the same as they have been. Excited to see what the prices look like tomorrow!

Thank you for starting this thread.

 

I'm on with NCL now, since I had a question regarding the Cruise Certificates I have and want to apply when Summer 2016 opens. NCL says they do not know when Summer 2016 opens for Breakaway. I asked if they could ask someone else but they put my on hold and came back and said they do not know.

 

Also, they did say that although it doesn't state it, there is a choice of air credit too. I didn't ask further since I wouldn't need this.

 

So, even though there is a press release out, the agent(s) do not know that group bookings have started, followed by more openings tomorrow and rest on December 18. I have a Latitudes number and have sailed NCL four times, so I can book tomorrow, is this correct?

 

Thanks so much!

I think you can book tomorrow. It said you could do this for "Latitudes rewards". I am hoping to check out Breakaway prices tomorrow as well... looking at late summer

[welove2cruise2014]

I am guessing that the sales/ customer service agents that DO know anything are likely being told not to say anything *until* 12/16 ... Otherwise if they were advising people of a potentially great sale starting on Tuesday... Maybe nobody would book until then. I dunno... Makes sense to me, anyway.

Thanks! I called my TA and she said they request final payment a few weeks before the cruise line so we are still in the eligible window assuming it's not for new bookings only.

All others I believe have to wait till the 18th...

This is great! Too bad the NCL reps don't give out this information.

This morning they said they didn't know when bookings would open for Summer 2016.

I'm ready to book!

This information is clearly stated in NCL's press release that was linked to you in another thread. ;) :D

 

EDIT: Nope, not even in another thread but this exactly same thread, in post #11, that you acknowledged in post #15. :D :D

My travel agent contacted NCL last week and they told her they could start booking on Tuesday for latitude members...

I am scheduled with her for 10am tomorrow to book..

I will tell her about the new Dining, Drink and OBC offers...Lets just hope the new price listings will not take a dramatic jump...

Yes I know. Thanks again. I said the reps were not aware. Thanks for double checking for me! Cant wait to book.

I checked this morning and the prices haven't gone up for my cruise. I am booked in a mini suite and I am going to call and try to upgrade to a suite. Not sure if I will be able, I cruise in a little over a month....Cant hurt to ask, right?

I don't mean to be mean or anything but if the prices haven't changed (up at least), what is your rationale in hopes of getting an upgrade from mini-suite to a full suite?

 

This specific promo is for new bookings only and since you are long past final payment, the chances of getting the promo applied to your existing booking without cancelling is slim to none too.

[pathubia]

True, probably wont be able to, but going to call and check anyways.

 

The difference in the family suite and what I paid for a mini (for two) is now about $400, if we are able to upgrade to a full suite we would get $200 OBC, UBP and UDP, would definitely be worth a phone call to ask. If we can, we can, if we cant, we cant.

A paid upgrade is not a new booking, but you might get lucky. Please let us know what they offer you.

[CasinoCruzGirl]

My booking hasn't gone up a dime. Calling at 9 am. Maybe because I just booked last week.

[BabsinTX]

Did you get an email from NCL about this? For some reason they won't send me emails, though I'm a platinum member. I called yesterday and they said the marketing department decides who gets emails about sales, etc. ???

"Norwegians can't tell what date it is"! :rolleyes: So as I awake this morning, 0830 EST, figuring the remaining 2016 sailing schedules would have been loaded overnight, I go to the website, sign in, and guess what, as of now, same old stuff, European schedule stops at April 2016.:confused: I can tell you something about "Norwegians" today, there won't be much work getting done at the office today Norwegians will be checking the website to book their cruises.;)
