NCL sales on excursions, speciality?

[imlulu]

This will be our first cruise on NCL. On RCL, they  run specials where rates are reduced on different excursions,  internet, speciality dining, etc well as Black Friday deals on different sailings. You can cancel previous purchases and rebook with no penalty. Does NCL do anything like this? If so, can I cancel a previous purchase and rebook at the reduced rate? Trying to decide on 2 excursions as we have the 4 free offers and while the prices aren’t bad, wouldn’t mind a sale price. 😄

 

Thanks.

No, all NCL does is raise prices on both.

In our experience, the prices of NCL excursions are the same whether pre-booked on shore or booked onboard.  I would be interested if folks have seen otherwise.  We have also seen excursions offered before the cruise, but not offered onboard do to full capacity.

On my last cruise Ireland, Iceland and Norway I paid less by booking in advance than people did for the same excursions booking on board. I did end up changing an excursion so I picked up the price list while on board.

Norwegian has inflated excursion prices to offset their "free" shore excursion credit of $50.  Book with that in mind.  

 

If you did not choose that "free" credit, I would suggest going independent.

NCL has expensive shorex but more so if you don't get the $50 per cabin credit and are not getting a Latitudes discount.  I have never seen them offer a reduced fare on board, an increase is more likely.

THank you all for the feedback so far. I am aware that usually the excursion will cost more if booking on board. I am asking if the the prebooking (online) prices ever go on sale on NCL. TIA

See post number 2.

On our western med cruise on the Epic in June the excursion prices were so inflated we got identical excursions via third party providers for 40-50% of what NCL wanted.
