coaster Posted February 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just booked a 9 night sailing on the Dawn in December after months of looking at different options. I indicated on NCL's pricing site that I was a Latitudes member. Booked direct with NCL over the phone after the rate was shown. Checking pricing afterwards, I left out the Latitudes indicator by oversight. Price was the same for the booking as a new NCL cruiser. I pulled up NCL's Latitude page and included in the list of benefits is the following phrase: 'Latitudes pricing on all sailings'. I have checked prices on the Sky in the past and even with the very low regular rates, Latitudes resulted in a discount. Anyone else think the information on the NCL website is misleading at the very least? Is it worth it to contact the Latitudes department? They are closed as I write this.

Arwenmark Posted February 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I always get the discount. Got one on NCL Jade cruise for 2010. $150pp less with Latitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerAl Posted February 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just call any NCL rep and have them add your latitudes number and have them reprice it to include the latitudes discount. You do not have to call the latitudes desk. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think this is misleading. In January when I was looking to book for May, I tried pricing with and without Latitudes and the price was the same. I called the Latitudes desk the the person said that the advanced fare is lower than the Latitudes fare. I plan to check the fare as the date gets closer to see if I can find a Latitudes fare on my sailing, just as a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlt46 Posted February 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Really sometimes Latitudes does not lower the price. You get other benefits when you get on board. But you want them to tag your reservation with your latitudes number so that you get credit for the cruise. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sailed with them 5 times in the past so I was in the system. It would be a non-issue if their website didn't say that the Latitudes rate applies on 'all' sailings. Latitudes rate applicable on select sailings....fine. Latitudes rate not available on all sailings in fine print at the bottom...fine. Here is the page below. No small print or disclaimers to be found. http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/cruiser/cmsPages.html?pageId=LatitudesBenefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbd1 Posted February 19, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2009 No where does it say the Latitudes pricing is a discount or that the Latitudes pricing and the normal price won't be the same. I will say that sometimes NCL will give unpublished OBC to Latitudes members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAUGUWI Posted February 19, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Keep checking back when we booked there was no special for lattitude members but we later received a $150 OBC per cabin. Good Luck:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
