Right ? I believe there are some stipulations like that around CruiseFirst if you cancel and rebook the same cruise, although I don't know if a price adjustment would trigger that stipulation.

You are correct. Here is a portion of the CruiseFirst Terms and Conditions: 1. CruiseFirst certificates are valid for new reservations ONLY that book and sail within 3 years of original certificate purchase date. Voyage date must be more than 120 days from original purchase date. Not applicable towards canceled / rebooked reservations. If a guest with an existing reservation cancels and rebooks the same ship and sail date with a CruiseFirst certificate, the additional value of the CruiseFirst certificate will be removed.

I believe there maybe penalties for changing reservations in your case. I have no idea how CN vouchers affect your bookings, they don't have any effect, other than as a payment, in the US, so can't say why your price may have changed. Yes, the DSC has changed and that is one reason to keep notice of the booking date. The excursion credit has been per excursion for a number of years - I know that I got multiple excursions/port clear back in 2019 (I thought they'd made a mistake at the time). But they have changed the verbage to clarify how it works. If you request a price adjustment now it will most likely affect both the dining credits and wifi minutes. the excursion credit was most definitely per port on my last 2 cruises, October 21 and Feb 22. That could have been a quirk of the EU t&cs, once upon a time our FAS Beverage package included specialty coffees with meals and 6 x 1Lt bottles of still water, but back then I also could only pick 2 FAS perks.

If you got a CruiseNEXT I don't think that's the case at all. Firstly - with CruiseNext you're buying two and then getting half of that back. These are issued in two $250 certificates that can be applied one at a time (toward two cruises) or two at a time for applicable cabins when the double-up promotion is running. If you cancel you are refunded in the original form of payment, based on refund policies. They can not 'keep' your second CNC/CND if you used two and are before final payment. There is nothing in the CruiseNext terms that indicates you surrender any "bonus" if you cancel a cruise booked using a CruiseNext certificate. Point 9 in the T&C's comes closest to addressing this - https://www.ncl.com/about/terms-and-conditions/promotions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, you lose the "match" if you actually cancel and rebook the same cruise. But hard to say if a reprice/adjustment of the same cruise is treated as a cancel/rebook as far as CruiseFirst is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed my PCC last night about this question in particular and I am waiting on her answer. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas030 Posted April 24, 2023 #33 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Ok I just got an answer from my PCC. If I a ask for a fare reduction before 121 days out, I will not loose the $250 NCL added on top of my $250 on the CruiseFirst voucher. Basically, good news 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
