Current NextCruise Promotion

[Cam Dizzle]

Does anyone know what the current promotions are for booking a future cruise onboard?

I believe this is still up to date, with the addition of $100pp deposits if opting for a non-refundable deposit:

Wow - so booking on board is not the great deal it used to be...

[AF-1]

So if you book a ten day or longer cruise you get $300 per stateroom plus $100 if you book six months out. Is that correct?

Yes, but only if you book a non-refundable deposit.

So if I book 2 guests in an interior room onboard for Feb. 2019, I would get $150 OBC ($50 for NextCruise Savings, and $100 for booking 6 months out) and pay a down deposit of $100 per person?

 

Am I reading that correctly?

Correct, if you are doing a 6-9 day cruise and you are booking with a non-refundable deposit.

Last month while on the Oasis I booked for next year on the same ship, Oasis. Seven day cruise we received $275 OBC and the deposit was $200. (Two people)

I've been trying to figure this one out also. According to the flyer they do not have reduced deposits any longer.

 

'8. Are NextCruise bookings still eligible for reduced deposits?

NextCruise will no longer offer reduced deposits for onboard bookings. The deposit required onboard

will be equivalent to same value as a shoreside deposit which ranges between $100 – $450 per person

depending on length of cruise.'

 

I also wish they hadn't gotten rid of the instant on board credits. That is what incentivized me to use them.

 

'2. Will the NextCruise program continue to offer both Instant and Future OBC?

As of August 1, 2017, NextCruise will only offer the future onboard credit option due to the lack of

popularity of the Instant Onboard Credit option. Your Clients will always enjoy their Onboard Credit on

their future cruise vs their current cruise.'

That got changed fairly recently. Reduced deposits are back but only if you book non refundable

Thank you Molly361. I've been debating if I am going to book something when I am on ship in April. I definitely wouldn't if I had to pay full with a non refundable.

If we book 2 people with the $100pp deposit, and we want to add 1 or 2 more later in the same room, do we still pay the $100/person down deposit?
