[CruiseLovininIL]

Hi. This is our first cruise, where we will be able to get rewards for being latitude members. How do we get our free perks such as art work and such. Thanks

I must say I wasn't aware of any rewards for first cruises on NCL.

 

Interested to hear more.

I think the sentence was poorly worded. I think they meant it's their first cruise as a certain level in NCL Latitude. I was unaware there was a free piece of artwork per cruise at any level.

There's excerpt under onboard discounts about a free piece of art work for attending art auctions. Since it's available to anyone that has ever taken an NCL cruise before don't imagine it will have much value. My next cruise will also be my first one as a latitudes member, so not sure what is worthwhile and what's not. [emoji57]

Thanks, my first NCL coming up (they've only recently started targeting Aus) trying to get up to speed with things like this.

I believe that anyone that attends the art auctions gets a free piece of 'art', like a small print.

Yeah the free piece of art is literally just a print of something. In my opinion the art is mostly a load of rubbish anyway!

 

What status are you? When you get to your stateroom everything you need to know will be in there :)

No. I meant it's our first cruise where we have latitude rewards perks. So it's our second NCL cruise. Sorry if I was confusing in previous post [emoji3]

The free "art work" is like an 8" X 10" piece.

It's an unsigned, un-numbered print usually by some obscure artist. You can pick up a frame for it at any arts & craft store (if you really want to display it).

The art prints were actually not too bad and provided me with a few cheap prints to fill open wall space in my office, with decent (but inexpensive) frames and mattes I got at Michaels (a craft store).

If it is your first cruise you won't be Latitude members till AFTER you have completed the cruise.

As others have said, the prints are free gifts for attending the art auctions. You don't have to sign up for them or anything. You just need to go to the art auction and stay until the end. They give them away to everyone at the exit as people leave. If you leave early, you won't get one.

 

The art auctions are not everyone's cup of tea. If you're not into it, it could be a very long 1.5 hours. If you don't want to go to the auction but want the print, maybe you could try and just slip in with not much time left to go.

 

Some of the prints by some of the artists are nice. I have seen people trying to sell these free prints on eBay. Sometimes for $75. Wonder if there are any fools who actually buy them at this ridiculous price.

On the first day the art company will have a desk where you can sign up for their advertising; they will give you the free art work.

 

Last time we were given the exact same artwork each time we attended anything!!

I have them pinned up in my cubicle for color. Maybe the latitude one you don't have to sit through the auction to get it! I'll try that next week and report back.

Yes, you can get one then as well. But I guess it differs from cruise to cruise. Last cruise I got four different pieces.

Way more of an important perk for being a Latitudes member is the Latitudes reception you will be invited to. Free drinks served and prizes raffled like bottles of wine, free laundry, etc. Usually just about 40-60 minutes and worth it even if you have a drink package.

WOW, you got a big one. The one I got in 2015 was 3x5. One day they have free drinks if you like cheap wine, show up.

No latitudes members "cocktail party" on the Breakaway, Epic, Getaway, Escape or Sky ships....not sure why....not that I've ever been to one but I thought I might go this time...........on the Breakaway so guess that's out.

[garycarla]

Free Art.

 

I am trying very, very, very hard to be respectful.

 

Onboard art and free do not go together.

Nice try. I agree that free art is like free advice, usually worth the price.

Hmmm, yes - there were cocktail reception on the Breakaway, hosted by the Captain & a few senior officers along with the CD on a sea day during the latter part of the cruise - all 3 times in the past when we sailed her ... things might've changed recently, so I stand corrected.

 

It was for Gold and Platinum members (and, now - those being "Plus" and Ambassadors (at our recent cocktail reception on the Gem, we learned that NCL has about 50 Latitude "Ambassadors" in the universe, 2 of them on our sailing 3 weeks ago @ the Spinmaker Lounge ... wow !) ... I can't recall, a bit of senior moment, whether "Silver" were invited or not on the Breakaway - as there could easily be several hundreds or more, one of the CD said.

 

On the smaller ships with 6 or 7 days itineraries or longer (Sun doing 3 or 4 days, no cocktail reception ...) - cocktail reception were held for Silver & higher - free cocktails/wine & finger food, plus door prizes given away ... But, no free cruise as the grand prize, however.

 

Yes, there was something in the Freestyle Dailies (plus a "personalized" invite) to attend the "free" Art Auction, with the giveaway printed artwork for just being there ... and "free" drink. Good for those "bored" and looking for something free to do. There are, actually, folks who sit down with sales afterward to buy these prints, promises of free shipping & duty-free, etc.

I am 23 points away from "Gold" member...........so I probably will not get an invite to a Latitudes party. Thanks for posting.

Free art work. That is funny. Really.

[khaide612]

Just want to clarify that this thread is from December...the latitude perk list is the old one.
