April42749 Posted October 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Currently, the only offer that I would want is the DSC. We are a senior couple and travel together only. So, we don't care about passenger 3 or 4. We don't drink...so no "free drinks". We prefer the buffet...so we don't want the specialty dinners. As far as excursion credit....we've done most of them and sometimes we book privately. Wifi-...well, I'd take it but I don't really need it (I'm away from home...I want to leave those things behind) What I would like to see: Spa credit....which could be applied towards any service or weekly pass Casino credit....which obviously could be used in the casino Can anyone else think of something (keeping in mind NCl reads these threads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted October 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'd love to see a whole bunch of sailings that are free of the single supplement. I'd also like to date Jennifer Lawrence but alas, neither will happen. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can spend it your way. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyscmom Posted October 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I would like to see the free drink package without the charge. I really, low that package, though, so I'll take it as is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biker@sea Posted October 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I 'd like a no frills stripped down price. I don't drink. I got Pics with most of the captain already. Mdr is fine by me. Still got a flip phone = No Internet needed. Plant. perks keep going down the more we cruise = Keep em for $50 off I'd be happy. :) If the price was right I'd sail a lot more.

Sand and Seas Posted October 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We think the best promo is the pre-paid service charges, but we also enjoy the UBP. Funny thing is we rarely drink except when on a cruise. There have been a couple of cruises where we got OBC which was nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPNYGuy Posted October 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I would like to see the free drink package without the charge. I really, low that package, though, so I'll take it as is! Same here. I had several cruises I booked with the UBP package perk before they started charging the 18%. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabones Posted October 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2016 My next 2 cruises are without the service charge on the UBP. I would like to see them keep the Gratuities. How about free hotel & transfers before and/or after the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkmaj Posted October 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'd like to see either beverage packages inclusive of specialty coffee and bottled water or cards available to purchase for those items like other lines have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted October 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2016 On ships which do not have the studios for singles, reserve some cabins in which singles could cruise without paying the single supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted October 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I like the offers now - SDP, UBP, internet and paid DSC. I hope they will not bring back the shore excursion credit or at least allow us to will it to someone if we will not be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merrill Posted October 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I would like to have the UBP to include bottled water, speciality coffee, etc. Now that would be awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was @ 4/5 a year pre FDR . . That's called "the guarantee" cabins....which I always get. But, I really would like to pick my cabin, and I wouldn't mind paying more for that "honor"...but I'm not going to pay hundreds more for perks that are useless (to me).

Two Wheels Only Posted October 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Alter the current promos.. SDP goes back to the old UDP. UBP goes back to when gratuity was included. DSC covers everyone in the stateroom. 3&4 free goes back to 3-8 free (no difference in my case but could help others). WiFi is irrelevant to me since I disconnect on cruises.

Libra_Critic Posted October 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Keep it very, very simple..... Base price, with no perks! Beverage, Dining, Internet, Shore excursions & all other "plans"... price individually. Choice to take the ones you want and ignore the ones you don't want.

monkeybone Posted October 1, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I like the offer they have right now. I hope they extend it. They could make it better by giving the 3rd and 4th in the room the same perks. OBC is always great, but I haven't seen that in a long time.

deliver42 Posted October 2, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I don't care about the 3rd and 4th free, or the internet. I'd love the drink pkg to include everything, and give OBC. I would like to see a pkg of UDP,OBC, and grats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April42749 Posted October 2, 2016 Author #21 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Most of you want them to expand the current offers (which probably won't happen). I'm looking for alternative offer ideas. Something that wasn't offered before...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richstowe Posted October 2, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I would like to see the free drink package without the charge. Yup and include standard bottled water .

mabones Posted October 2, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I still think the free hotel stay before or after the cruise is a great idea. We unplug, so don't need internet. Offer free case of water for your stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashells Posted October 2, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Cruise ships try to make their money in every department. A certain percentage is expected from each department to pull its weight. 20% may be designated to the beverage department. 30% to the excursion department....They also take a cut from operators at the port docks. A certain percentage from the casino needs to be met. The Spa is yet another department. Sales both in the ship shops and at designated shops IN ports are a certain percentage. ( Ask what I want to purchase in the ship stores as they don't keep up with what people desire) All departments have a % they need to meet and sometimes one department makes more than another and it balances out on the ships take. The cruise lines make their profit mostly if a ship is fully booked at 103% or more. How is it more than 100%...3rd and 4th passengers. How and what would I like from NCL?...My choice of bottled water... delivered by a 'selected NCL store'... as they do with the flower arrangements.... Charge me what you want, but allow ME to decide what brand of water I "NEED & DESIRE" to drink as Aquafina being the ONLY choice, has a terrible after taste.
