Thanks, it's Dec 31, 2017.

My apologies for starting on this awesome forum with a question. Unfortunately, I have nothing to contribute yet. Despite traveling quite extensively, I'm about to go on the first real cruise in my life.

So here is the question. We've booked two cabins for me and my mother on Breakaway next month. At the time of booking I knew nothing about these CruiseNext certificates. Now, I can see there are people selling them at a discount. I reached out to one seller, here is what he said.

Even if you paid they will refund you 500$ on the same credit card you use to buy cruise or/and you can also use towards the onboard credit. 5 minutes to transfer. Call Norwegian. Easy and quick.

Is it true and they will really apply the certificate as a credit or OBC to the already booked cruise? The T&C says "A CruiseNext Deposit can only be applied to a new reservation and otherwise has no cash value and is not redeemable or exchangeable for cash"

Thanks!
