The first 3 people I spoke with at NCL Meta customer support were useless/clueless. However NCL Special Affairs was pretty spot on and knowledgeable. NCL Special Affairs fixed everything and now back on track in a BA cabin category cabin for my B2B voyage in Jan 2022 for 30k in points and also a slightly lower original price too. But now I just need to keep a closer eye on this voyage to see that it holds in place. Safe Travels, - WYB I would keep an eye on your bookings. I got nailed on a few today and told I need 60,000 points for each sailing on my b2b2b and a b2b. They have not found a b2b2b and a b2b2b2b I have redeemed on. They are doing an audit. I tried to run it up to special affairs and they won't touch it. So I cancelled 2 today and will cancel 3 tomorrow. So they are losing $16,000 worth of cruises so far. I am going to pay the others off in full. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB! Posted April 10, 2021 #4978 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Yes, my guess is going forward the B2B meta upgrade, along with everything else is going to be more of an uphill battle.

Rare BSR Posted May 15, 2021 #4979 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Can't seem to find the World Points chart for upgrades on the NCL web page. Can you go from a balcony cabin to a spa cabin using points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have made more categories so its almost impossible. Just like Aft balcony is now its own category. So inside up to a higher inside, same with ocean view and balcony. That's it. No higher than a standard balcony. STeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted May 15, 2021 #4983 Share Posted May 15, 2021 You can't upgrade to a spa but you can still do a meta upgrade as far as I can tell - it just depends on how many points you have. Meta to next category is 30,000, upgrade within category is less and depends on length of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use 30,000 for a single meta. Inside to Outside or Outside to Balcony for any cruise no matter the length. Or use 60,000 points for inside to Balcony.

Rare mscdivina2016 Posted May 20, 2021 #4991 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Just got denied a true cross meta double upgrade. Had an IA booked looking to go to a BA. When they attempted to do that, it would have required me losing some perks such as prepaid gratuities. So I was forced to go with a BB. Now I wanted my rate reduced because whats the sense of paying for an IA when an IB would have worked. Again, I would lose my current perks. Just a heads up. This was for the Encore.

TifffanyD Posted May 20, 2021 #4992 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't think you always get I* to B* ... it can vary what the actual mappings are. How did you get prepaid gratuities?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get prepaid gratuities?? Supposed to be IA-BA, IB-BB, IC-BC and so on. Why IA becomes BB is not known. I will run this up BOAs flag pole. The pre-paid gratuities were a perk the day the booking opened. I grabbed it! This is for a 21 day cruise as well. STeve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave me the best available cabin which was IB category (Getaway 11411), and I got the perks that were being promoted at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
