New Latitude Tiers

[Marine Mom]

Interesting, we're at 78 points and Platinum....I wonder if we'll stay there or get dropped down to Gold...

 

I have same issue except we are at 48 (Gold) do we now get knocked down to Silver?

for the cocktail party, is it not available on the breakaway and other ships like the current cocktail party? surprised they didn't put that in the fine print.

Well... I just now booked the Escape for October 2018 out of NYC. I figured it's worth the $100 deposit to wait a few days and see if I can still get the double points.

The not so "friendly" FB page is claiming the flyer is a draft only, and not accurate. Time will tell.

Guys, it was leaked, it was never "official" since it didn't come from them. That is also why we have no dates. Sit back and wait, that is all we can do right now. I was excited because it at least gave me a peak as to what was coming.

ONE person is saying that .... there are several other FB sites with reputable agents posting the flyer. Time will tell.

So can I give away the free 60 minutes of internet to someone else?? :confused:

Just saw that as well - apparently the "friendly" mods on FB are deleting the posts that show the updated document.

Actually, agents might have it early (like they do booking info), but it was most certainly leaked. No way NCL does this without a press release and update to their web site.

None of the tiers have been changed on the website nor has there been any release from NCL on their page.

I have 139 pts. Don't see the incentive to try for Platinum Plus. All it amounts to is an extra 30 free internet minutes and another bottle of water (or are the 60 minures and 2 bottles in addition to the ones earned at the lower levels but I doubt that). The other perks are even less attractive to me.

True, the second meal also loses the second bottle of wine. It is also in Cucina/Moderno, which I love, but it seems are less liked by a lot of folks on these forums.

 

 

True but love the adding of a bottle of sparkling wine at bronze level. So you still walk away with 2 dinners each and 2 bottles of wine when you get to platinum (which is still very far away for us).

 

Although the lack of extra points for booking 9+ months is a kick in the butt... we always do that so that's how we have half of our points!

Absolutely no incentive at all to book early now. Better for me ... not so good for NCL.

You make a great point, I too am still a bronze level, and that was a nice perk. As to the booking out, I have a special situation where I leave my handicapped son at home with my MIL, who is awesome for allowing us to get ANY vacation by ourselves. But, to do that, she has to tell me when I can book, and it is never way over 9 months out. :)

I would think that they would just login on their machine with your Internet information from the ship.

Since there is no mention of ship pins, I guess I won't get my Breakaway pin in April. :(

[lakelivin2]

I was hoping for a few vouchers for specialty coffee instead of the officers dinner...;)

They have not been available 'as of right' in your stateroom for a while; you have had to ask for them. I believe that they have been phased out as the ships have been running out of them also.

 

I also wonder if they will return to some form of generic "quarter" for use in the casino. Has anyone seen one for the Escape?

i might be wrong but did anyone else notice that platinum will no longer get the bottle of sparkling wine in your room ? i know it wasn`t that good but would still like to receive it !

Yes they will as it is now part of the Bronze extras which everyone above also gets.

[dexddd]

You still get two dinners though, and that adds both Cagneys and Moderno to the choices. :)

 

But if you have 3 Plats in one room you lose two meals.

Thank you x i totally missed that one lol :confused:

[TheDougOut]

I just spoke with a PCC, so right off the bat I assume there's a 50/50 chance of accuracy (at best), but she stated that a change in the extra point per night bonus would only impact new bookings after the change is introduced. She said the booking I made today, 627 days out, will get double points.

 

I guess time will tell.

This seems to answer most of the complaints people had with the old system. Primarily it was too easy to earn Platinum and there was nowhere to go after that.

 

I surprised they left such a gap between Platinum Plus and Ambassador. Also curious as to why the left the Platinum concierge service which frankly is non-existent.
