latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Just wondering if solo travellers are treated any different under the next program when you book on board. For example, i may want to book a solo cabin and not sure how that would be covered. I'm not sure if you book a full cabin if you get the discount off the full price. Sorry i don't really know how next program works but interested in how it affects solo travellers specifically., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted May 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) NextCruise OBC will typically be reduced for a solo guest. It depends. As far as cruise fares, Nextcruise doesn't offer anything different from the website. Solo cruisers typically have to pay a 200% solo supplement. Some ships have studio cabins that offer a reduced fare for one guest. Cruisers with more than 340 points in the Crown and Anchor Society receive a reduced solo supplement on most sailings. No solo fare rules differences at NextCruise. Edited May 30, 2023 by twangster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Thanks. I see. I thought you got dollars off the cruise but you get obc, maybe dependant on room category. Is that correct? Just reading the description. I also see its only a 100 deposit on select fares so next may not be as good as i hoped. Worth a look though since i'm on a cruise end of June.

latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So just to clarify you wouldn't get double obc if you booked a regular cabin with next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a solo cabin with refundable deposit onboard. Only $1 difference. A couple gets $76 obc and I got $75 obc. .. the $100 obc is only for nonrefundable fares. I booked a balcony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not sure why you hope so but for sure no. Less not more obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Thanks, as a canadian there is still some value to the obc as its in american dollars so its worth more for a canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, if you can somehow trade that US OBC into Canadian $$. If you spend it on board, then it’s worth the same as if an American spent it. I know what you’re meaning, but it’s really not worth any more for a Canadian. Only refundable US OBC is worthwhile to me. I can take it home with me.

latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted May 30, 2023 You don't seem to understand 100US costs 136 canadian to us right now. Americans don't understand how good they have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebuyer Posted May 30, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I may have misunderstood you. In any event you do get a nice little boost as a canadian. I would take a savings of 36.00 if you can get it. Anyways we're getting off track here, after reading comments and doing some of my own reading i am feeling less excited about the next program. However, if i could even get 50 US i'd be satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
