tallnthensome Posted September 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just called to add the new promo for shore excursion credits to my current Panama Canal booking. The phone rep said I now get $100 per port credit instead of $50. Well, that's great if it's true but I never even had $50 per port excursion credit to begin with . So this code ...... HEXTRSX2. Any super seasoned NCL cruisers know this code? I tried Googling it, nothing ...... Just curious if it means $100 shore credit. I was on hold a long time so calling back this late is not an option. Thanks in advance ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfrequentPNWCruiser Posted September 10, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2019 My upcoming cruise has HEXTRSXA...close to yours ..and it showed up after I rebooked wtih a double shore excursion credit, so I think that is what it generally means.

That’s what I’m hoping but my vacation summary says $50 per on the NCL site so I wasn’t sure to go with that or the code and the $100 the rep said.

InfrequentPNWCruiser Posted September 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I had to call and ask about that too- I was told that the vacation summary only shows one credit (website bug) but you have two on the confirmation. The confirmation is what you have. I always bring my printed confirmations of everything just in case if something goes awry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that "two" you mention mean it's $100 per port regardless of what the online summary says of $50?

JoeTec Posted September 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Do you have the take all 5 promos with your booking? My Aug Escape cruise I only had pick 2 & they were running the same promo when I booked. I chose the drinks & dining promo so I only got the $50 port credit. You said you never had the $50 promo to begin with unless you changed your booking with all 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_s_allen Posted September 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2019 This must just be certain sailings? On the terms and conditions it still says $50 per port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you never had the $50 promo to begin with unless you changed your booking with all 5 I have a family ocean view with two kids. I had the pick two. I have the UBP and the kids sail free (3rd and 4th). I simply called after seeing the newest promo where shore excursion credits were a highlight and the rep added it, no charge or change to anything. I didn’t understand his note of me now having $100 instead of the $50 per because I never had that as a perk nor the all five since it is an OV cabin. I hope the rep is right especially having my two kids with us again on this port intensive Panama Canal sailing on the Joy. It is a 20% off Latitudes sailing if that makes a difference.

It looks like it's part of a new promo where some sailings let you either take Free/Reduced Airfare or an extra $50 per port excursion credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, upon looking closer it is an error in my favor currently. It says that shore ex credit is combinable with the $50 take all promo giving you $100. Much like another poster questioned. Only I never had the $50 credit or the take all 5 promo with a balcony. I have an OV. Hope they don’t catch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCal Posted September 10, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks so much for your post We have 2 upcoming cruises booked in 2020 and already had the 5 perks including the $50 per port excursion credit Called just now and with this new perk of Airfare or a additional $50 per port excursion credit they easily added on the EXTRA $50 per port excursion Only difference in our bookings was our Free specialty dining package went up a total of $8.00 on each cruise due to changing it GREAT additional savings for sure 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smplybcause Posted September 10, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Ah, so you have to have booked a category that allows you to get the airfare. That's why I can't see it - I'm booked in studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted September 10, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted September 10, 2019 For those that now have this new promo and/code can you share what your NCL online cruise summary says about the onboard credit and how much? Just curious if it says $100 or $50. Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slainte57 Posted September 10, 2019 #23 Share Posted September 10, 2019 When I called this morning about adding this promotion to existing reservation, which is eligible, I was told I would have to book at today’s price to receive it. The cruise is now $8588 for two people. My cost right now is $5733 for two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
