Should we give NCL our “two cents”? (A little humor)

[ggTexasGal]

We have an upcoming cruise booked with Final Payment “due.”

However, we made our “Final Payment” yesterday and received a zero-balance invoice from NCL shortly after making that payment.

 

(Our credit card shows the correct amount owed to NCL has been charged.)

 

Later in the day, hubby submitted the form for NCL Shareholder’s OBC, which NCL quickly processed.  NCL provided a new invoice with the NCL OBC, so we were happy… until today!

 

Lo and behold, today we somehow owe NCL 2 cents…  Go figure!!! 

[ggTexasGal]

New rule for us...

From now on, we won't submit the request for NCLSHB on the same day we make any payments.

Hopefully, that way, we won't muddle things in our account!

Love your thread title!

Give them $.04 and make them mail you a check for $.02. 😉

Nice forum title, pull me into reading it. Of course, 2 cents. Why not. I don't know if submitting the SHB on the payment date or after would change anything. If NCL says you owe even a penny or 2 cents, still need to pay them.

Can you both get a penny for your thoughts to zero it out?

This post has been more fun than I had anticipated it might be!

ive always enjoyed/admired your posts, however, i think at this time, you have a very weird sense of "FUN"  LOL!

We have had the same problem in the past due to exchange differences in our NZ-USA exchange changes.

[PATRLR]

In all seriousness, I wouldn't let that $0.02 remain unpaid or unresolved past the final payment date.  I'd hate to see your cruise get cancelled out from underneath you.  Computers may not know the difference between $0.02 and $2000.00.

I imagine that is frustrating, at best!

I completely agree!  We did pay the $.02 (on a different credit card) just to be certain.

My mom used to say, "if you don't laugh, you might cry!"  It seems that stuck with me.

 

BTW, I am rather "quirky" sometimes!

We have received a "Paid in Full" invoice.  It's still a mystery as to how we owed an additional two cents.  Which, I think puts a whole new spin on "Nickle and Dime!"

Shouldn't be a mystery at all. The invoice contains the amounts charged and the amounts paid. Do the math and run the numbers...you'll see where it doesn't add up. Remember, numbers don't lie.

Two cents? Given the fact that that it is NCL, you will be giving them your nickels and dimes.


(sorry i had to)

NCL possibly rounding up past nickels & dimes and rather not deal with pennies.  Pretty soon, it might be half and full dollars only.

That does seem likely!

We definitely paid the "Balance Due" amount yesterday morning and then received an appropriate invoice showing it was PAID IN FULL.

The problem occurred after the Share Holders' OBC was added to our account ... and then the account "regenerated overnight."

Well not a cruise balance but I had a hospital stay last January. 

After the insurance payments and me paying the leftover balance. The hospital keeps sending me a bill for 6 cents! So far they have mailed me an invoice 5 times. So far they have spent $2.40 in postage alone. After numerous calls to them they still keep billing me even though the billing dept told me to ignore it and they will make it go away......not. Waiting for a collection company to call.

 

6 cents on a total bill of $158,000.00

This happened to me back in January, before my Pride of America cruise. I called in, because there was NO way I was going to arrive to the port to find out that they cancelled it. It was a weird glitch in the pre-paid DSC. It also stumped the NCL phone rep, who decided to adjust my husband's cruise fare by 2 cents, since neither the website nor the NCL system would let me pay the 2 cents with a credit card or ACH.

 

So all was well, we went on the cruise, came home. 

 

4 weeks later, there was a refund of 2 cents on my credit card from NCL for overpayment on the pre-paid DSC. Go figure.
