Cas has posted new program

[tel2]

WOW! CAS has posted the new program, and allows you to earn points across all of the brands NCL, Regent, and Oceania. More tiers. Haven't compared to see if levels are gaining or losing anything yet.

So I'm going on a cruise in May but booked over a year ago thru CAS. Will I still get free drinks in the casino? On your sheet it's says Jade (green) gets no free drinks.

Looks like the spa credit, convenience fees and premium drinks are gone for equivalent of golden -- of course they are, since that was my level! Added a few things for over 100,000 point level. I'm not a happy camper....

No idea. I'm just seeing it for the first time too. But it isn't my sheet. It is posted on the NCL website.

[tel2]

Anyone have any idea what the difference is between "convenience fees" which are still waived for the equivalent of golden and "cash advance fees" which are not ?

[hladygirl]

I wonder if there are any changes to booking with land based free cruise certificates. Is it still $20 pd/pp admin fee or has that changed up or down?

Yes Jade and pearl and sapphire "house drinks"

[tel2]

Where are you seeing that Jade gets house drinks?

Yes Jade and pearl and sapphire "house drinks"

Where do you see that? I see Jade with no indication this is true based on NCL's website. TIA

Hi look at the chart closely..at least how I'm reading it..

At the top is ACROSS ALL BRANDS (which includes Oceania and Regent)

Then about 1/3 down. It say NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE BENEFITS

Many of the benefits for NCL CAS are still there (no Spa or dining credit but now obc). We just picked up some benefits on the other 2,

Convenience fee is 3% at the machines, cash advance has to do with getting a cash advance on credit card..completely different thing

[tel2]

Hope someone cruising next week can figure out what the OBC is for the various levels and post....

It's on the website under Norwegian

[grancayman]

By the way, if you are looking on a phone, the lines Across all brands and Norwegian cruise benefits don't appear..at least not on my iPhone! It just sjhows the long list

Could be the cause of confusion?!

I'll be on the Gem 4/8

No, on website under Norwegian, no drinks for Jade.

Not the Norwegian website I'm looking at

[grancayman]

Scott, if booked thru CAS, YOU SHOULD GET THE DRINK CARD NO MATTER THE LEVEL. If you are not booked under CAS, and you haven't ever played to the next level, you get Jade (used to be Lucky) and you have to play to 1500 points to get drink card.

That's how it has always been as far as my experience with people I've been with.

[CasinoCruzGirl]

But if you book throughout CAS you will still get it. It's always been no drinks for lucky unless u book through CAS or t to 1500 points. It never stated free drinks for lucky

[tel2]

Ok. Thanks. I guess we just have to wait and see whether the OBC amount is equal to, better than, or worse than the dinner and spa credits we used to get....

[tel2]

I'll be on the Gem 4/8

 

Great. Have fun, and hope you can report back about the changes, if any.

[Alegeeter]

I wonder what the "stateroom discount" is. I have been Lucky and am always offered 20% off based on my play. Under this new program would this change?

The food & beverage credit and spa credit never showed on the old list either, so it appears so far they've added the Regent and Oceania bits and haven't necessarily taken anything away, which would be good.

 

Is priority disembarkation for Sapphire (Golden) new? I didn't recall seeing that before.

[esm54687]

Thank you Grancayman & CasinoCruzGirl !!

 

Totally got myself turned upside down...... appreciate you putting me upside right.
