Magicbar Posted February 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Taking the Breakaway in a couple of weeks and will be purchasing 2 cruise next certs for the first time. My question is when the $500 is charged to my account and the $250 OBC is added, will this simply reflect as a $250 account balance for me to pay at the end? I will be putting very little if any on my account during the cruise and just wanted to make sure that the $250 does not need to be spent on the cruise and just offsets the certificate purchase. Thanks in advance for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your replies. Correct the $500 shows up as a charge and the $250 as a credit for a net charge of $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailandcruise Posted March 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Can OBC be used to purchase CruiseNext certificates? So if I've prepaid my daily service charges and have $200 in OBC, can I purchase two CruiseNext deposits and pay only $50? ($250 credited against the purchases, $200 in OBC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Traveler_2008 Posted March 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yes. I used some non refundable OBC to buy Cruise Next certificates on my last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

($250 credited against the purchases, $200 in OBC) Only if you purchased the OBC or was given extra OBC by your TA, you cannot use OBC that NCL gave you as a promo/perk (This is true for CAS tier promo obc also), think of it this way, if NCL gave it you you cannot use it. If you used a TA and are unsure what type of OBC you have to call and have them email you an amenity invoice. If it says “Non-refundable” you cannot use it.

NMuffy23 Posted March 5, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If you wait towards the end of the cruise to make your purchase they give better deals on them... I was able to purchase 2 for 500 and received 2 for free... making it a total of 4 certificates for the price of 2... but you do not get the added discount for the purchase... ie money off your onboard ship bill... overall a good deal though...

gmbhardy Posted March 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Can I purchase Cruise Next certificates and use them toward a cruise I already have booked? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I spoke with a rep in the Cruise Next office and they said that “technically” the certificates could only be used for new bookings. Having said that, I haven’t had any problem applying them to existing bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin13 Posted March 8, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I asked my guy at NCL that books all of my cruises and he said that they can be applied toward an existing cruise. I sure hope that he is correct as I'm going to buy 2 of them on my Escape cruise 4/14. I have a TA booked for 4/29/19 and another cruise booked for February 2020 that I want to use them for.

($250 credited against the purchases, $200 in OBC) Yes, both refundable and non-refundable OBC can be used to pay for Cruise Next Certificates. I use non-refundable OBC all the time to buy them. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used three for two cruises. My T/A wasn't sure and the first rep at NCL said no. She called back and the second rep said yes. I was able to use two for one cruise since I booked it over six months before using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC is the only thing you cannot use non-refundable OBC for. I have used non-refundable OBC for cruise next certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
