nemesees Posted September 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Does Norwegian have discounts on packages like other cruise lines? For maybe soda package or excursions, or activities or gifts to name a few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf2001 Posted September 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2023 No, the pre-cruise prices never go on sale with NCL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAcruising Posted September 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Of course they offer discounts. Just book them before final payment date. You'll be out of luck once you get on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not RCCL where from the moment you book to the moment you depart, you get bombarded with SALE SALE SALE emails every day. The packages are the packages. On some, there is a small discount for booking pre-cruise versus onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not particularly accurate; A pre-cruise dining package can be significantly less expensive than buying once on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesees Posted September 17, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Thank you. So it doesn’t matter if you purchase water package now or later, it’s still the same. As for excursions, first come and first served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It will be more expensive once you board the ship. Buy any promo you want now; it won't be available on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the internet package is actually chepaer on board if you purchase it the 2nd day. Like mentioned above, there is no dynamic pricing on the drink package on NCL. If you get the Free at Sea drink package, you pay for the gratuities only, which are about $21 per day/per person. On my RCCL cruise, the drink package was $89 per day with an 18% grauitiy. It was available on the ship, but at the same price...no discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesees Posted September 17, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Edited: I will take those prices I see as the standard prices. Better this way as I won’t have to check each week for a cheaper price. Edited September 17, 2023 by nemesees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get that once you board the ship. Just my experience, yours may differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellaleah Posted September 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2023 What about Black Friday/cyber Monday? Can you get discounted pkgs then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaDude Posted September 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I just got off a Celebrity trip and they were selling bottled water for $4, plus 20%, or $4.80 for 1/2 a liter. Here's what NCL says on my upcoming trip. Not sure if their percentage discount is legit or not, but I went ahead and bit for a 6-liter package. The price was $23.94 total, no additional fees/taxes but it apparently includes the "tip." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaDude Posted September 17, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2023 BTW, here's what they're offering beverage packages for, nearly 70 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it never does. I also get bombarded with emails where the 70% off the second passenger has replaced the 30% off all passengers. I must be lucky.

The drink package prices are if you didn’t take the FAS unlimited package. No one should have to pay those prices since everyone 21+ in the room is eligible for the FAS unlimited package. You want to upgrade, it’s $34.80 pp/pd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaDude Posted September 17, 2023 #16 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Good point. I didn't take any beverage package. We don't drink nearly enough to make it worth our while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I believe I was warned for two weeks that today was the last day for the latest discount. Third, I still wonder what the difference between 30% on all passengers and 70% on the second. Fourth, how stupid do they think their customers are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
