Kreativ' Gal Posted March 28, 2015 #28 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I've never cruised before - booked for May (PIF) and put a deposit ($500) on another cruise for later this year. While on my first cruise, can I purchase a cruise reward ($150 charge for $250 credit) to be used to make a payment on my second cruise? Or no since the deposit is already paid? I guess I'm wondering if a cruise reward can only be used as a deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clcjdn Posted March 28, 2015 #29 Share Posted March 28, 2015 You can apply as a $250 deposit. I did this for my niece on my last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daffodiliaz Posted March 28, 2015 #33 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The last one I bought I was given the option of the $100 obc or $125 in casino play. I took the casino free play so mine was actualy only cost me $125. Thank you for mentioning this. I've seen this offer in the past and was curious what form the $125 comes in. I'm sure they don't just hand you cash. Is it just promotional slot play like the old slot play coupons and whereby all $125 must be put through the machines in whatever increments and cash out only the winnings? What if you want to use this $125 at the tables? I guess what I'm really asking is there any way to turn this $125 into cash in hand (even minus 3%) other than betting it and cashing out the winnings?

Kreativ' Gal Posted March 29, 2015 #34 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks for the info! As for the casino, I'd rather have the $100 credit then lose $125 in a slot machine :eek: BUT, I might consider playing roulette with it, lol. :D Is there roulette on the Gem and on the Breakaway?

gwsster Posted April 5, 2015 #35 Share Posted April 5, 2015 For each cruise credit you buy ($250), the charge shows on your final statement along with a $100 credit. So you basically pay $150 for the cruise credit. You do not have to pick a sail date until you're ready, but it does expire after 4 years so the loss is $150. No catches that I know of. Ours are just listed in our account online at NCL.com. I don't know about auto OBC for 2nd cruise. We didn't get any and we are lattitudes members. I think it has to be part of a promotion (Latitude Insiders?). If you know you are cruising again within 4 years, it's a great deal! Some have said that it can be used as your total deposit for a cruise you book. If your normal deposit would be $500-$????, if you use a cruise reward, that is all you have to put down -just the cruise reward. (The balance due is still total minus the $250). Didn't happen for us but my TA said she "never used these before" so we paid $750 cash and $250 cruise reward on a $1000 deposit. The $250.00 must be used within 4 years. I think it is a good bargain. I get the $100.00 OBC to use in the spa or for drinks or apply towards an excursion. I then get the full $250.00 as my full deposit on another cruise:) NCL has the information on their records and we keep a copy of the certificate. We generally buy one on each cruise.

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted April 5, 2015 #36 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) And they are transferrable to anyone without any restrictions. or sell it even. I sold mine on ebay for $175 so I came out $25 ahead. We also bought one and transferred it to our daughter as a birthday present.
