jeremybe Posted June 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi - My parents are leaving on an NCL cruise to Bermuda tomorrow from NY - MY wife and I are looking to book the Dawn to Bermuda this coming August - Is there any value or is it even possible for my parents to book the cruise for us on the ship while they're cruising? Isn't there some kind of bonus and best price offer on board? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbd1 Posted June 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There are no advantages to booking while on board. However, one can purchase a Cruise Rewards Credit for $250. You will recieve a $100 OBC and the Cruise Rewards can be used as a full deposit for a future cruise. Instead of paying $100 to $400pp for a deposit, the $250 Cruise Rewards will hold your cabin.

coka Posted June 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2008 You "could" book it, but the representative will let your parents know it is better to do it once they get home. Gives you/them the chance to shop around for a better price. coka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerCar Posted June 8, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm not sure that the cruise reward is transferable. I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if you can transfer a cruise reward to someone else??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdg51 Posted June 8, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2008 They are transferable for a fee. Maybe your parents could see about purchasing in your name? I had considered buying more than one and that is OK but you can only use one per cabin. I was disappointed that the most the cruise consultant could offer for a deal on your next booking is what amounts to $100 discount. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbd1 Posted June 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've been told that there is no transfer fee. When we were on the Dawn, I was told there was a $50 transfer fee. One of these statements is correct :) . Since you have 12 months to book and 18 months to travel, you have plenty of time to find a good price, somewhere. Once one of these bad boys starts burning a hole in your pocket, finding a great price become a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I booked our next cruise-or rather our next two cruises, I used cruise certificates. The deposit was $250 total, instead of $800 total. I bought two on our Dawn cruise, getting $200 OBC for that cruise. Since MS Belp and myself had separate accounts, she could have purchased one or more, herself though we were in the same cabin.

kdg51 Posted June 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think they said you could buy up to 4 of the certificates but you can only use one per cabin on your next cruise. When I booked my cruise online last year the TA had no provisions to use cert for deposit so I ended up using it as a payment on my cruise instead. I asked if I could use one as the deposit and another as part of my final payment and was told "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
