janroatan Posted June 15, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Wondering if the BOGO air perk with continue to be offered for awhile. Not quite ready to book, but would be mad if I missed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted June 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The airfare perk was one that would come and go frequently pre-COVID. I suspect it won't be around forever post-COVID as airline traffic and prices start to pick up. Out of curiosity, what's holding you back from booking? It's only a refundable $250 deposit, so you don't have much to lose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janroatan Posted June 15, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 15, 2021 You are right, just nervous I guess in regards to Covid protocols, would hate to go on cruise, and not be able to get off at any ports. We are fully vaccinated, so just have to get up the nerve i guess 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julig22 Posted June 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It could be gone at any time, so no real reason not to put down a refundable deposit. But it pays to monitor because the cost keeps changing. My airfare one one cruise went down $500 so I rebooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted June 16, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I saw a TA post a preview for an upcoming promotion for Free Gratuities. It said coming in July. So things may be changing up soon for the promotions and perks offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghflyer Posted June 16, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2021 This promotion can't end fast enough for me. The price of the promotion is rolled into all these fares so hard not to take it right now, but I am absolutely not a fan of turning over the indiscriminate selection of flights and times to someone else. Not to mention all these stupid airline credits that can't be used when stuck with the BOGO pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middleager Posted June 16, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Free gratuity is worth a lot more on longer cruises, if they don't raise the price during this type of promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air is useful to some. So for NCL their calculations for profitability would probably have short time limit for free gratuity offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailing Smooth Posted June 17, 2021 #15 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We are using the airfare deal for the first time in August on the NCL Jade. Our flights are ok, but our party of 6 cannot all sit near each other. We have to sets of three seats separated by several rows. We could select seats ahead of time without fee on American airlines/British Airways on the way back and are able to sit near each other on other legs. My brother and his wife have flights on Iberia and will have to pay extra to be assured that they will sit together on each leg of the flights. Apparently if you take the airfare deal from NCL, you are taking a chance on the flights which may have several stops and the airlines' policies on selecting seats. I'm not sure we'd do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
