Thorben-Hendrik Posted February 28, 2018 Author #1680 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just to clarify....I am actually talking about a NCB = -next cruise booking- with a refundable fare... Before the change 7-2017 - those were super good for this purpose! NCC is an old term for it...when it was still a certificate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted February 28, 2018 #1681 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks, will look into it. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app They are not worth getting now that you have to pay the full deposit if you want a refundable changeable booking. I believe he is talking about bookings that he made on board prior to non refundable where you only have $50 or $100 deposit down on each one and they have OBC that will carryover if you change them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they do a 14 night Caribbean from Miami instead of half way through having to come back to Miami. Even a 10 or 12 night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
