NJsharon Posted February 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just wondered if anyone had any inside info on if NCL would be doing a March promo, or possibly extending the current promo? Hoping to book an NCL cruise for May, but won't know if can take that cruise until 1st or 2nd week of March. So will miss this current promo. Thanks in advance!

Casino Comp Chick Posted February 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The next promo starting March 1st is the Freestyle Choice SPECTACULAR. They have added prepaid gratuities as one of the choices, along with UBP, UDP or OBC, and then 3-8 passenger either free or 50% off, depending on the sailing.

Does anyone either have a link to it or know if booking a Haven Suite you receive all offers? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCal Posted February 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Wow that's Great Great News. Were going on a March cruise and haven't decided where to book a new cruise to yet and were worried about missing out on the UDP UBP N OBC which the promotion expires Feb 28th Glad we waited cause now with getting a suite it sounds like even the gratuities will be included :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Comp Chick Posted February 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2015 There are no details yet but I think it will be passengers 1 & 2 only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCLMassachusetts Posted February 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2015 And now the real question. How much will the prices increase to cover this added "freebie"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobstad Posted February 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The UDP and UBP are great deals. They appeared to be completely hassle free and unlimited. I purchased the UDP and will forever more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteCruiser Posted February 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I saw someone talking about it, but still haven't seen the promo itself to put my mind at ease. Hopefully it's available by the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moesyk4 Posted February 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2015 We booked a suite this month...with the gratuities going up we called and added them to our final payment. Because rebooking would make our gratuities go up $3/day x 7 days x 6 people, not sure it would be worth the hassle as it would only save us about $40. Maybe though!

DreamingBig1 Posted February 23, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think its pretty safe to say that the current promo is a huge success. Let's hope that the company see's a profit over the long haul, so its a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that the company see's a profit over the long haul, so its a keeper! This promo is better for NCL then last years, in that promo everyone in the room received the UBP, this year it is only 1&2 (soda for the rest). I had 5 in my suite, so that saves them over $1100 on the the extra 3 people. I know a lot of people that booked suites for that reason. This year for the 12 nighter we booked separate cabins because of the drink plan & the bigger balcony's (AFT, I still can't believe they built a 2 BR suite that has a balcony for 2) We do have an H6 booked but we did the reservation through CAS so we still get drink cards but my mom and my cousins daughter get the soda plan, he can use his portion of the OBC to get her the plan if he chooses to, my mom is always in the casino so she can get her drinks there.

theloo Posted February 23, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Do you know if the March sale will extend the KSF? That's the one perk I need. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backsbanny Posted February 23, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone know if you can combine three choices instead of two for europe cruises??? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted February 23, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Is it just a choice or will it be extended to for example "Book a Europe cruise in a balcony and you'll get three" or something like that?And does anybody know if the promo is offered world-wide ( like the current one) or just in the US? you will have to check internationally, In the UK we got the Choice beginning of Jan and never got Choice plus, The current UK promo was extended till the 2nd march(from 27th) to get another weekend. Not sure on the rest of Europe I did read that Spain had a different set of dates but if someone can be bothered to check all the EU options since NCL went regional pricing welcome good luck Edited February 23, 2015 by insidecabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKR2011 Posted February 23, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone know if there are any exceptions for repo cruises? Can I get the gratuities paid for? I know the UBP is excluded and not sure about KSF since I don't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm-Water Diver Posted February 23, 2015 #22 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wait. If prepaid gratuities is added to the choices, does that mean that I will have to pick either UBP OR Prepaid Gratuities (not get both) as my choice for my balcony cabin?

backsbanny Posted February 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2015 thats what i am wondering too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriorking Posted February 23, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Will check it out for sure, currently I have the OBC of $75 as well as the UDP on my Europe cruise, will definitely drop the OBC for the prepaid gratuities to go along with the UDP if the option becomes available.. Still saves me over $200 when figuring in the lost OBC... Between the price drops and the ongoing specials I am now saving nearly $1400 since my original booking...And I am still a year out, hard to tell what will happen next...Good times....
