Nextcruise program and dates

[gerig]

I purchased a Nextcruise on June 8, 2023 and forgot to use it when I booked a cruise for March 31, 2024.  I just read the paperwork and it staates I have 12 months to use it otherwise it will be worthless.  Can I use my this nextcruise booking for a casino  free cabin offer which I normaally upgrade or my annual casino prime cruise?  Do I have to cruise before June 8, 2024 or does my cruise just have to be booked by June 8, 2024?

Cruise just has to be booked by expiration date.

 

Note that the NextCruise OBC offer will not apply, as it expires after 2 months.

I understand that the OBC doesn't apply.  I didn't realize the program changed and will not be purchasing these anymore because it really has no value unless you book immediately.

You're talking about the book later certificates, I assume.

Yes.  I didn't book within the 60 days to get the onboard credit

I used mine towards a free casino cruise that I booked after the OBC expired (wasn't paying attention and missed it by a few days).  Basically, they applied the $200 towards the amount due, so it paid all but $6.45 in the taxes/port charges.
