Cruise First

[Languageman]

Can each person in a cabin buy a cruise first and use it as their deposit? If you buy a $500 one for $250 and the deposit is $100 do you each get the balance of $150 as an OBC?

When has NCL offered $100 deposits?

 

To answer your question, no.

Here is a link to the current NCL Promotional Terms and Conditions.  CruiseFirst Certificate is towards the bottom of the page.

 

https://www.ncl.com/about/terms-and-conditions/promotions

 

I've copied and pasted a small portion for you

 

"CFC(s) can be applied as stateroom deposits or as payment towards new reservations ONLY. Voyage date must be at least one hundred twenty (120) days from original purchase date. CFC(s) are only valid for sailings of six (6) days or longer. A CFC can be applied to satisfy full deposit requirement for stateroom categories up to and including Club Balcony Suite or can be applied as partial payment towards a higher category."

 

One CFC serves as the deposit for the stateroom (or partial deposit if stateroom is higher category than Club Balcony) and the value is deducted from the cost of the cruise.

Deposits on NCL are $250. Not sure I've ever seen $100...at least not in the recent past.

 

As for the $500 value of Cruise First...this was exactly our situation. We bought a Cruise First during the Double Up promotion...paid $250 and we were given a $500 certificate. We booked a cruise that had a $250 deposit and the excess $250 was credited to our final balance. 

 

Not a problem.

Thanks for all the great information.
