Our group had an amazing cruise doing Northern Europe over the summer and now looking to book the Mediterranean for September 2025 cruise. Anyone that has experience have any advice, greatly appreciated. I’m open to the entire region and have nowhere I specifically need to see. We are trying to decide between the following three, sailing on the Breakaway and the Pearl. The most important feature of a ship we care about is the thermal spa. I’ve sailed the getaway and think it’s identical to the breakaway spa. Appreciate all opinions.

Finally got the email for the triple up ! I’m going to take advantage of the Amex order and then put three of my certificates towards my 2025 cruise. The email doesn’t specifically say when they offer expires though.

I have it on my blue card. I only use my Capital one for the travel points, but keep the amex for the NCL offers. woo-hoo!

Thank you all!

This must be an onboard offer only. You would think with their daily emails, weekly mailings, and constant calls, they would want to proceed with all three avenues to their customers. I’ll wait for Black Friday.

Pretty certain they just fluctuate the prices to match the percentage off. They continually switch between 70% off first passenger on double occupancy to 35% off both. In years past they have offered a pretty decent Veterans Day offer (US bookings). If not, I’m waiting for Black Friday / cyber Monday.

I’m wondering if they will switch up the thermal spa area at all. It was nice, but the hot tubs weren’t as enjoyable as the ones on the away class.

It’s strange, I noticed my dates are gone too. It seems like this is something NCL would put out as a sales tactic email.

just keep checking. I got triple points on the prima sailing this summer. Went from silver to being 4 points away from platinum now. 🎉

I’m hoping for a triple point booking or a triple deposit for cruise next. Patiently waiting for this offer to book again.

I sure hope the buffet is addressed. during our time on the Prima, we tried 3 times to book the race track after enjoying it on the bliss in Alaska. Unfortunately, weather canceled it every time we had a reservation. Let’s hope they don’t creat all this deck space with water activities and decide to put it in Iceland.

Liking these updates to this class so far. Looking forward to their presentation tomorrow

2025 would be good. I read it’s a simple process. Our sailing isn’t until next September, so who knows by then.

I got the email from them this morning.

This is good information. Thank you. Any word about a triple deposit?

I am loving this review! Cannot wait to hear your thoughts on NCL and the Encore. Congrats on taking the step for a solo trip. I’m just about the same age and have wondered what a solo cruise would be like

I purchased four cruise next vouchers for the first time in August. This is the first time I have seen them offering a double up deposit in a future cruise. Does this deal run frequently? Also, the representative on our cruise said they will run a triple voucher deposit deal once or twice a year. I am hoping that occurs around Black Friday/ cyber Monday. Just wondering if this is something I should take advantage of or will there be better offers? It seems like they are flip flopping between their ongoing 70% off one guest and 35% off two guest deals, which isn’t promoting me to book now.

amen! I still get them almost weekly and it really annoys me. I’m a loyal customer, I have cruise next certificates, give me time and I will book another cruise! All that wasted paper.

You have plenty of time to decide 🤣

love this!!! We got a shot of us in front of this whale and someone back home commented, "What a lucky shot!"

I don't think it stopped there at all this season due to the dock not being finished.

Loved reading your review. Nice to see your photos from Isjafjord. Sailing the prima, we obviously missed that one in August. I am glad I was not the only one who thought crossing into the arctic circle, even just for a very brief time, was a big deal!

Can't wait to read all about your trip. Enjoy!

Glacier Bay, Alaska on the Bliss in 2019 and Geiranger, Norway on the Prima this year.

39 days is something I dream of! What an itinerary. Enjoy. definitely will be following along.
