Back 2 Back Question

[SailorMiken]

We have cruised with NCL on several occasions. Now that time allows, we are considering several back-2-back cruises. All on the same ship and in the same cabin. The question is, does NCL offer any sort of “volume discount” when you book the B2B together? I know it’s a longshot but thought I would ask. Thank you

I have never been offered a discount for a B2B cruise.

I’ve never seen it done.

We’ve done one B2B with NCL (this past winter).  No discount given.

there are no discounts, but if you have platinum status (or above) or elite casino status, you will - in most cases - receive benefits for each cruise... laundry, two dinners, OBC from the casino, etc.

[SailorMiken]

Just as I suspected. Yes, we do have platinum status, so we will have to plan accordingly. Thank you all!

No, none, nadda. We have 2 b2b2b's booked with NCL and nothing. Make sure that you get all of your Latitudes rewards on each cruise.

Just a head's up: I have done a dozen B2Bs in the last two years (Escape, Epic, Bliss) and have found that quite often my Latitudes amenities - water cartons, chocolate strawberries, and dinner/laundry vouchers do not show up in my cabin for the second week. So I go to the CruiseNext/Latitudes desk to report the issue. They give me a set of vouchers. I usually get the water the following day and never receive the strawberries. I also have found almost as often that my dinner and entertainment reservations for the second week disappear and have to be rebooked. The Latitudes manager will usually unfairly blame people rather than acknowledging that it's a system-wide problem with the B2B process. So, check everything on the first day so it can be fixed and you can enjoy that second week on the ship!

We did a B2B from Venice a few years back. It was advertised on the website as a 14 day cruise but when we got aboard we discovered it was a B2B. On Saturday when we got back from touring Venice there was another Platinum welcome package in our cabin. So we got 2 bags of laundry each & 4 specialty restaurant dinners. Not too shabby!

 

Have a good cruise!!

it is a glitch, as you later stated and has to do with the first cruise not being resolved and closed out in the system, but i can assure you that the reservations have not actually been canceled. you just can't see them in the app... they do indeed "disappear" in that sense.

 

whenever i have reported this on the first day of the second leg of a B2B, the people i consulted to "rebook" my reservations have all confirmed that they were already in the system. it makes it incredibly inconvenient, especially if you have reservations on that first day, but, typically, they will show up again later that day or early the next day, once the first cruise has been closed out... and they will show up without any rebooking whatsoever.
