Thanks for reporting back.

These offers vary a lot. I didn’t get it on my platinum but did on a different card.

Please report back whether it automatically credits the cashback for you. This issue has come up before, as these charges are regularly split, but I don’t recall whether it causes a problem with the cash back. I usually get an email or notification to say the offer has been used so hopefully you will get that soon.

You can make partial payments on the app. I did it yesterday to pay £750 off of a cruise. It can sometimes be a bit buggy and in the past I’ve had to phone because the app wouldn’t process a payment, but it it certainly possible. On the website there is no option to select a part payment.

I have booked a couple of these. On one I was charged a penny and the other was free.

The same way as they leave from Paris (Le Havre), London (Southampton) and Rome (Civitavecchia) to give a few examples. Venice (Trieste) is a new entry to this with a distance of about 100 miles.

The full list of priority access is: Club Suites 125 days Full Suites/Haven 130 days Platinum/Sapphire/Diamond 125 days Ambassador 130 days

If you want to eat at any of the speciality restaurants then I would advise booking them In advance. Bookings open at 120 days. They do hold spaces back for onboard booking, but I prefer to have things organised. On the newer ships there may be some entertainment that can also be booked in advance. I think this opens at 21 days (not sure as I don’t book entertainment).

NCL have worked out that people are grown up enough to decide for themselves how they want to dress. That means that you can dress up as much as you want without having to make me do the same. It’s great. If you want to dress up do so and enjoy yourself. You won’t be the only one.

I’ve received the cash back in the past when paying by either method.

I have just had £150 back on a £760 spend appear on one of my cards. Time to check your offers. 🙂

It was probably a typo, but that isn’t correct. If you buy four $250’s you get $1,000 CNC and pay $500. The best way to deal with this is to ignore all the promo stuff that NCL use, don’t talk to the cruise next staff about it and just remember this: 1 CruiseNext (worth $250) costs $150 2 CruiseNext (worth $500) costs $250 3 CruiseNext (worth $750) costs $375 each additional $250 CruiseNext after that costs an additional $125 Thats it. Forget talk of OBC and money to spend. It is a simple discount, nothing more than that.

It’s available to book for my Joy cruise in September (139 days out).

Yes, there are quite a few categories that don’t qualify. As well as studios, the offer excludes suites and ones like aft balconies or large balcony rooms. I may be wrong, but I think that as a general rule categories that end with a number are excluded.

120 days out (slightly longer if you are booked in a club suite or higher or higher latitudes status) you will be able to reserve restaurants on the website or the app.
