philbird Posted February 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) The first questions are general in nature, not ship-specific. 1. If we cancel before the deadline are all prepaid expenses (cruise, gratuities & internet package upgrade) refunded? 2. We've made 4 deposits using 4 different credit cards. If we cancel do they refund to just one card or refund exactly what was paid to each card? 3. What trip ins. companies would you recommend? I've looked at all the prices on Insuremytrip.com Our 11 night cruise on the Sky departs Baltimore on Sept. 21st and ends in Quebec on Oct. 2nd. This will be our 1st NCL cruise. Have done 2 with H.A. 4. Can we book specialty dining nights in advance? We are allowed two. Which restaurants would you recommend? 5. My DW rarely uses the internet so I'm thinking of buying the Unlimited Wi-Fi: 1 device for $280. I'm typically on the internet about 2 hours a day. We do get 150 min. free. Any suggestions on when to buy this? All comments appreciated. FYI we are in a balcony cabin on Deck 9.

Before final payment you should be refunded 100% (covered in the "fine print" you agreed to when you booked) 39 minutes ago, philbird said: 2. We've made 4 deposits using 4 different credit cards.

Refunds go to the original form of payment (also covered in the "fine print") 40 minutes ago, philbird said: 4. Can we book specialty dining nights in advance? We are allowed two. Which restaurants would you recommend? 120 days before the cruise is when you can first book dining. Don't worry TOO much if your venue doesn't have tables at the time you want, only a portion are opened for pre-cruise reservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were planning on closing the Chase card that we used for the initial pymt because it has a high annual fee. I wonder what they would if we cancelled and that card was closed? I'll review the fine print in our original receipt. Rez. was made with Costco Travel. Cheers Edited February 20, 2023 by philbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the same with your bank, but I discussed this very issue with mine. I had paid for a Ocean Villa on Great Stirrup Cay. Since the ship doesn't always make it to the island, I wanted to know what would happen if I was refunded the coast back into my cancelled card. According to my bank, any refund would go back on the card and the balance would be negative. They would then send me a cheque (aka Check). They said even though I cancelled the card they have a record of any refunds that go back onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted February 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm not sure who it was or what thread it was in but I seem to recall someone posting recently about cancelling something and having trouble getting their money back because the card used for that payment had been closed out. Different banks my handle the situation differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbird Posted February 20, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Thanks for replies. I'll call Costco Travel and see what their policy is when using multiple cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
