Thank you!!!

Hello! Has anyone purchased the bday package? If so, was it worth it and do you have any pictures?

Thx!

Thank you all!  That clears things up a bit.  G

Hey everyone! So as the topic reads, it has been awhile and apparently some things have changed and I’m hoping for some clarity.

1. Specialty dining used to be a flat rate. When did that change?

2. My wife read something somewhere about drink tax. Is that over and above our fas package?

3. Lastly, the cost of our cruise dropped (we are 60 days out) so I called to inquire about an adjustment. I was told we were eligible for a future cruise credit and that it would show up in latitudes after our cruise is complete.  So, I informed the 2 couples we are cruising with to call as well. 1 was told the don’t qualify and the other was told that “I will submit the paper work and you should hear something shortly” 3 calls, 3 different answers. Thoughts?

thanks in advance!!!!!

Thanks everyone!  Think this is covered 😉

Boo.  Thx.  I just cannot pay $50 for a case of water 😞

Greetings all.  I've seen many posts indicating that NCL has water packages (at ridiculous prices) but historically we've always just brought a case on board.  Is this still an option?

Thx.

Usually the dining package will give you one appetiser, one main course and one dessert. There may be some items on the menu with an upcharge but most will be covered. 

Perfect!  Thanks so much!!

Hello fellow cruisers!  One of the freebies for our cruise was a dining package yet I noticed some of the restaurants don't have a flat fee but are a la carte.  Does anyone know how that works?  Is the package say $25 towards dinner or does it cover the entire cost of the dinner?

I searched and came up empty handed

Thanks!

Thank you for your responses. We did compare and the private vs princess was not that significant. AMS Cruiser. Loved your review and pics!

Thanks Again!!!!!!

To book with Princess or not to book with Princess? That is the question.

Has anyone found it worth it to book with a private company vs. booking with Princess direct?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a smoothie bar on the Pearl? I would have done a search but I looked on 3 different web browsers and I don't see it.

Thanks!

We are looking at booking our first aft facing balcony room. The website indicates the square footage is between 250-516 sq ft and was wondering, since the aft is tiered does the balcony get bigger on the lower decks or does the room get a little bigger or both?

Thanks!

It has been a few years since we cruised and the last time we received envelopes to place cash in. We have our first NCL cruise on Epic coming up on 2/4 and at first I was a bit taken back by the fact that they would add $12 per person per day. However, the more I thought about it, it would certainly cost me more than $12 per day in tips if I were eating out 3-4 times a day.

Everyone needs to take a chill pill and enjoy life...and their cruise!

Beers 'n Cheers!

I had the same problem. There was no redemption offer for $150 OBC, just $100 for 10K. However, after many calls and hours spent on the phone, a $50 OBC for 5K magically appeared. You just need to choose both to get to $150. PITA but it worked. Hope this helps.

Supervisor from NCL just took care of this. Thank you Darius!!!!!! Phew... Now we just have to play the waiting game until February!!

I also don't think you can get to it without an account. Unless you've gotten your card you probably can't sign up for one yet.

 

The list on the NCL website is fairly accurate.

 

http://www2.ncl.com/world-points

 

The only difference is there technically isn't a "$150 onboard credit option" but you can just redeem a $100 obc for 10,000 points and a $50 obc for 50,000 points.

I do have my card and I have the 15K bonus points on my account but NCL says I was issued the incorrect card and BOA states I have the correct card. I have the card in the picture on the website. In T's and C's it says $150 OBC is a one time bonus for new NCL card holders. Nothing else specific to the card and bonus points or OBC's.

The biggest problem I'm really having is that the customer service reps are just rude. Being a new card holder and first time NCL cruiser I'm wondering what kind of service we can expect on board. Based on this board customer service seems great but we are not starting out good.

I don't think the normal WP site has the NCL specials. It's a BOA Rewards Points thing.

Thanks! However, I'm not seeing a BOA Rewards section. All rewards take me to WP.

I had a 3 way call with BOA and WP yesterday and both said it was the "others" problem. Nice.

Well, let's let the fun begin. Applied for the NCL BOA card because the website indicates that I'd receive 15K bonus points that could be redeemed at WorldPoints for $150 OBC. However, WP only shows $100 OBC for 10K points or $250 OBC for 25K points. NOTHING about $150 OBC for 15K points. I am not looking forward to this call based on the some of the comments in this thread :-(

Yes, she will get the same promo that you did!!!

SWEET! Thx!!!

I apologize if this was asked but there are 160 pages to this thread and my search came up empty. I received my NCL MC and after a qualified purchase I apparently receive $150 OBC for our cruise in Feb12. My question is this: If my wife opens up an account will we get another $150 OBC?

Thanks!
