Has Free/Reduced flight Replaced OBC?

[teeredi2cruise]

i can’t remember the last time I saw an OBC promotion. Have they offered this in conjunction with the air at all?

[Sand and Seas]

I haven't seen it for awhile.   I find it hard to understand why the 'free air' promos has lasted this long.  Wouldn't OBC be a cheaper promo for NCL to offer?   

The air does not work for us.   OBC works for everyone!

OBC is usually included in the Past Cruiser promo.

I looked there as well and only have a 20% off offer and that is usually only $100 for me.I feel like the air is really pushing up the cabin rates at least for the sailings I have looked at.

Who knows... maybe that is the point. They get the raise cabin prices across the board for everyone whether the opt for air.

I keep checking the promos (and I'm a Past Cruiser) and I haven't seen added OBC available on any of the four cruises I've booked in the last several months.   Hope they bring it back!

I booked an April 2020 cruise under the 20% off offer and got $100 OBC, so it just depends on the cruise I guess.  Or day of week - I re-booked a cruise a while back because the price went down and I hadn't paid yet - I got an additional $50 OBC because that was the incentive of the day

The cruise I have booked for January 2020 gives me $50 OBC in an OV + the 20% discount.

Is that a longer cruise?  (I ask as it seems most of the 20% discounted were longer cruises.)

 

I miss the 'get $100 OBC for any balcony' offers.  It didn't have to be a Latitudes cruise.  It was on almost any cruise for 7 days plus cruises.

[All-ready2cruise]

Yes, it's the Jan 22, 2020, 10 day cruise on BA.  I think it's still $100 OBC and the extra Lat. points too.   

Need to check that though. 

 

I know the OBC was on so many of the cruises I had booked previously too, since 2017. Even on the last cruise, June 30/ 7-day on BA had the OBC, $100 for balcony. I walked off the ship owing less than $60.  ( I am a solo though so may make a difference.)
