My TA also said they had an onboard savings book, ans said they were sending me one, but I was told elsewhere and here, that NCL doesn't have one this year. In the past, it gave you discounts in the casino, on the photo's and buy on get one dinner in a specialty restaurant the first day among other things.

Baarb Posted July 12, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Can you let me know if it is a good deal getting the book??? I wonder if it is worth it to go with a T/A to get the book or on board credit???? Decisions decisions!!!!!!!!!! Barb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big green Posted July 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2009 there are no coupon or discount books offered by NCL for 2009-- you had better reconfirm with your TA--last years books are expired and are not valid-- make sure you check before you buy on ebay.

BG Unless their talking about the coupon book you can get on board for the casino by signing up. It gives you a free pull at the big machine for a free cruise , a $10 slot coupon and a few coupons for the tables. However you don't get this from any TA's.

DMRick Posted July 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thank you. I have more hopes of getting one from my TA after all! Although I liked the specialty rest coupon they used to have..bogo free the first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDMau Posted July 13, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2009 We just got off an NCL cruise yesterday and we didn,t see any of those coupons being given out or being used on board, I would check with NCL first before you buy them on line. They did have the normal specials, free kids bingo with any adult bingo purchase 10% Off some duty free purchase at gift shop for latitude members different spa specials all the time none of these needed a coupon.

Skyhawk61 Posted July 13, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2009 These books ARE available from your TA. Don't expect to save hundreds of dollars with them however. Jdechter's list above shows what coupons are included - mostly just little things to be used as incentives to have you spend more money - to save a little. I wouldn't book through a TA just to receive one of these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads&Tails Posted July 13, 2009 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't have them they are for sale on ebay. Can you post the ebay link because some of these do not look like the one's handed out in the past. Especially the Le Bistro one I think use to be 2 for 1 dinning or 1/2 off. thanks I did a serach on ebay but these didn't come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinclaj Posted July 13, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I just went to our travel agent today and picked up our welcome booklet and luggage tags for our upcoming cruise. I received the same booklet that jdechter described. It came directly from NCL to our travel agent. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggie59 Posted July 16, 2009 #16 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just booked a cruise today from an online TA. I am supposed to get 1 coupon book total for the 2 of us. From what the contents look like....it wont do us very much good as we dont do the spa or purchase photos. :( I was hoping for the 2 for 1 drink coupons that used to be in some booklets. The TA told me they get these from the cruiselines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach D Posted July 16, 2009 #17 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I got off the Spirit a few weeks ago..When we got home i had 5 coupon books waiting for me that I had requested from my ta. I would take the obc and spend your money the way you want. Actually you should get both. Talk to your ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooder Posted July 16, 2009 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2009 where did these coupons come from-- were they issued on board or did you get them from NCL or a private TA??? BG Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

LADYKADY Posted July 16, 2009 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So how do I get my hands on one of these "coupon books?" I just called NCL (with whom I booked through) and they said they only sent them to specific travel agencies, and only they can give them out. *****?? :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baarb Posted July 16, 2009 Author #20 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I guess, only a T/A will give the books out??? I am still looking to book yet... Anyone have an idea, where I would find the best deal??? We are looking for the cheapest inside stateroom....

iheartbda Posted July 16, 2009 #23 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just called my TA and she said sometimes their agency gets them sometimes they don't. Also, their managers get them and the lowly TA's do not get them as a rule, they have to ask for them. She said she would see if they got any and if she could get her hands on one. I have no reason to doubt her word. The whole thing seems to be hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking for the cheapest inside stateroom.... Thanks............ :confused: We cant really recommend on here....but hint Cxxxxe.com. They have OBC, coupon book, and bottle of wine. Make sure you ask for any discounts like lattitude, military, or union. I called in order to get a lattitude discount that didnt come up online. I booked this morning and the rates showing online now reflect the amount I got this morning after discounts. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
