Anyone heard about a NCL sale starting Monday, 12/15?

[Silverspoon]

Something about an on board credit of up to $500 for suites on new bookings?

 

Just a rumor? Old news?:confused:

That's OK. We booked this fall and we'll ask for the best deal available right before our final payment is due. You can ask and you should get the better deal too.

Any word on this sale. I have final payment due this week and would maybe upgrade if the OBC is a good deal.

Be careful sometimes it is for new bookings only and you will not be entitled. Remember if your sailing is full right before final payment is due you will not get a price reduction. If your sailing is not full then the fares maybe lower and then you can see if you can get the better fare (so long its not for new bookings). I have been a TA for 10 years and what I have learned is that it is simple economics: supply and demand.

I just looked it over... Can't disclose the T&C yet but people should be happy.

[ugen512]

Most of it not all of it..Plus thats from a 3rd party agency that will probably be deleted.

[ubouu]

I found that it was a great deal for my Cruise that we booked.:D

[Arwenmark]

I am going to be onboard the 20th thru 27th and had planned to book some trips onboard. Wonder how this will affect that? should at least get the OBC from the deal I would think wouldn't you? deposit is already lower for on board booking.

[ubouu]

YUP i Agree,Arwenmark.

[cruisecap]

Do you have to book directly through NCL or can you use a TA?

[LadyBerard]

You can use a travel agent.

[Dukegirl5577]

I just booked last week and have only paid the deposit, but not the final payment (which isn't due until next month).

 

Will it be possible for me to take advantage of this sale? I've seen that people have been able to in the past, but one of the posters above said it's only for new bookings. How would this work? Is it possible to cancel and rebook if I want to take advtange of the sale or is that not necessary?

[Arwenmark]

It is possible to cancel and rebook but that may not be necessary call your TA or NCL if you booked direct and ask for it.

[cruisecap]

There isn't anything on the NCL website mentioning this special, does it really start today?

[purplegoose]

I can't find anything on the site either...any one have additional info?

[cck0000]

Hmm, maybe its beginning on the 18th instead?

[Dukegirl5577]

I'm not finding anything either. :(

[Suni99]

sometimes it wont comeout until mid day, i would check back around noon

[rudeman]

A Latitudes email went out about the 2010-2011 itineraries and upgrade possibilities. Don't know if that's what you're referring to.

[LittleBlue]

I just check too, didn't see anything,... I know on the cruise I booked, prices have gone up...

 

If you call NCL sometimes they can offter you different promos for paying with different credit cards.

[Us2inFL]

Our agent got us the $500 obc this morning for our upcoming April, Pearl cruise.

 

We had booked 12/12.

[Arwenmark]

I actually recieved an email on the "sale" last week from a TA. did not take advantage as I am planning to book some cruises onboard.

[Partyatsea]

Arwen just so you know we just got of the Gem 12/13 and the cruise consultant was unable to book us a cruise onboard, all he really does is sell the cruise rewards program.
