Were you maybe in a different cancellation bracket when you originally called? And then moved into the 50% later when you cancelled?

I bought back in at 29.50. I had originally set my limit at 30, then 28, and settled finally at 29.50. I originally bought in 3Q 2018 at 46 and sold this Jan for 58... so I am already a bit ahead. Here's hoping!

IA to BB on NCL Sun

I usually do single meta upgrade but this time I did double as I have a lot of points. 9 night Alaskan in a balcony with drinks for $3k. Saved around $2500

I always book the angled balcony! They are great and you get a wider view

There are some in Jacksonville - which isn't too far from you

Do it!! 🙂

Oh then in my experience they will let you upgrade to OS for the $900 difference.

If you do upgrade to the owners suite, they will only apply the amount paid for one cabin towards it. You can't combine the difference in all 3 cabins and use that to upgrade.

Yes!! I live in Tampa and when I drive by the port I always look for ships. We don't have as many now since it's summer but in the winter I am extra jealous

I didn't even know about preferred rewards and I just signed up and am Platinum. Jeez, would've been nice to have the extra points, discount on foreign currency orders, and free stock trades all t his time. Thanks for your post!

This ^^^ except the gratuity is 20% now

Yeah 50% of what you paid for Cuba (of the fare, not including taxes/fees) and it has to be on a new booking.

Oh ok so you called very far out. Our cruise is in April/May next year so we should be within the 330

That's not really the best advice. Sometimes inside -> oceanview is not a big difference and oceanview -> balcony is huge. I routinely book oceanview and do a single meta... and this way 60k points can be used over 2 cruises and saves me much more. It just depends on how the pricing works out.
