I find it entertaining to read all the post about free incentives. We designated ourselves Triple Platinum a couple of years ago. Found it odd that NCL didn't have any incentives beyond 76 points. IMHO they needed something to incentivize the frequent loyal customers. Once we hit the highest level we did start shopping around and have also gotten to Dimond on RCL. We booked our first Crystal Cruise and I was disappointed that there was no reciprocity between the lines, I would have liked to seen something. We now look primarily at the actual cruise literary first and foremost we then compare cost and expense. The third thing I look at when comparing options is the perks and incentives. We were very happy to finally get the FREE bag of laundry. We generally get a couple of free meals from the Casino and with the Platinum specialty dinners we rarely ever need a dining package. The Free wifi will be nice assuming it is per member not suite. We have generally cruised in suites so most of the extra perks are included with the " Suite life ". We will be over 500 points in 2018 "IF" we get the extra points for being booked 9 months in advance. Again most of us cruise with the company we feel is giving us the best overall experience and value the extra perks is just icing on the cake.

Can anyone tell me where the NCL Jewel will be after Toyko APRIL 1ST 2016. Can't find a schedule anywhere. Wondering if she is going into drydock or something?

I just made VIP Level with NCL Casino at Seas and was looking forward to a couple of the perks the first being free shuttle service to and from the ship. Has anybody else noticed the cutbacks to the perks? Does anybody have the list of the old benefits? Seems pretty crappy to cut back on perks for top level players!!:(
