That's what I thought, but now the gratuity increase is more than the savings I get by re-booking through a TA...oh well.

Is that something that is useful? I assume it's like airplanes where the minimum bid is quite expensive. (I usually book balcony so would be bidding to go to a suite.)

This might be a stupid question...but can one try to apply any of these to a booking? Don't see where to do that in the booking process.

I've gone on a few cruises, I had read some people got free upgrades and things from their PCC but I actually got a worse deal. So was just wondering if I had to stick with them for a while or not. Sorry...didn't really consider that what I said was a specific TA. My bad.

Costco was about 6-7%. I am Canadian so probably more limited in options since using CruiseNext (It's a pain to convert them back to USD to use).

I only booked recently so I would just cancel and re-book later this week if it's better. Though I booked through a PCC getting no additional benefits so I may do that anyway for OBC through a TA.

Hi everyone - is there any benefit to booking with an NCL PCC (personal cruise consultant) vs a travel advisor (including Costco)? Costco is offering over $300 back which usually mirrors what other TAs offer, but the PCC wasn't able to offer anything else to me. I was told that once you book through a PCC once, then you can start getting additional benefits such as extra latitude points which seems wrong to me. Thanks!

Unfortunately the cruise I want is January 2024 😞 the price difference between Dec 2023 and Jan 2024 wasn't worth extra points sadly.
