I cannot find two for one info on the NCL site. Could you provide information for those of us not in the loop please? :) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesIlsley Posted March 25, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think the OP is talking about the "BEST NCL SALE EVER!" "TWO DAY SALE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donno Posted March 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i think this is just a rebranding of the "One Day Sale" (or is it two day sale??)

cruzinaway Posted March 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Has anyone shopped this sale today? Anyone finding it to be a very good deal? We are looking at a cruise in April on the Dawn. Just spoke to our PCC...it looks like the 2 for 1 promotion is available on a few select sailings in 2009 and applies to inside, balcony and mini-suite cabins. We were looking at the Jade Mediterranean sailing in September and I was thrilled when our PCC said it was included in the special. But the price he quoted me for a mini-suite was only $100 less than the website price last week! He told me the discount applies to NCL's "brochure rates", not the website rates. Needless to say, we passed on the "sale". :( Hope you have better luck! Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapichapo Posted March 25, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yes, and the sale is only valid in the US. And in this promotion it seems children pay. We got a quote for $620 each child (and my daughter will be 7 month old). It ended up beeing the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babba Posted March 25, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Has anyone had any success with this sale? I just called and was told only two days are available for the Dawn NYC to Bermuda. I mentioned that at least twenty-five dates showed up when clicking the link. Silence on her end ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren0309 Posted March 25, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I booked my cruise on the phone with NCL. I got a $200 discount because my husband is a union member! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birtdeltasig Posted March 25, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The banner at the top of the page states that the one day sale is for Mar. 26th. Seeing that it is only the 25th today, I would think that you may have better luck checking on prices tomorrow....maybe. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzingtogether Posted March 25, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think the 2-for-1 is just a catchy advertising ploy for the 1-day sale (which is having a "preview day" today). I think they mean that the prices are so low right now that you are getting 2 people on the cruise for the price of 1 "brochure fare". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwenmark Posted March 25, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Actually the Private preview for Latitudes memebers started Sunday and people have been booking them since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiecatenjay Posted March 25, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I received the e-mail last week and called NCL to clarify because the wording was ambiguous. I have a BUNCH of folks watching the fares to book on the 'cheap.' I planned to send out a "BOOK QUICK" e-mail if the fares were, in fact discounted. After 30 or so minutes on the phone, the supervisor rep said that the PG1DAY Promo code went into effect 3/21. Go figure. Just in case, though (ever the optimist) I just checked my fares for 6/5 Boston to Bermuda... Up twenty dollars. Marketing, marketing, marketing. There is a more extensive thread about this a bit further down the page. Clare Quincy, Massachusetts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynbar Posted March 25, 2009 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have been watching the prices on the Spirit Bermuda cruises. When I got the e mail, I called NCL and even under the sale, the best they could do was a $50 savings pp on a balcony cabin (yes, she said she was applying the discount!) It really seems like deceptive advertising to me, and I must say I was disappointed in NCL. I should add that we were willing to go almost any week as we don't need to worry about airfare for a Boston cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpdad Posted March 25, 2009 #19 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Looking at a European cruise in May. When I went to NCL.com and used the promo code PG1DAY, the fare went up about $100 more than what it would have been without using the code. No, thank you, I will pass on this "sale". I think NCL may be alienating customers rather than attracting any new bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapichapo Posted March 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was also looking at their american site and can't really figure out which are the sale days... I used the code but no change for our date. :confused: Also, they mention "free upgrade" on our date - whatever does that mean? Anyone know?

AFT_LOVER Posted March 25, 2009 #22 Share Posted March 25, 2009 is available at an online TA but the airfare is out for us. We have been checking 2 weeks out from the day I am looking for any unsold balconies for major deals & they go up not down. I am looking at these rates for a one day sale & these are NOT. So I hoping the word SALE bring out bad cruise shoppers thinking they are getting deals, when good shoppers can see these are not. I have talked with PCC about deals we are looking for & not finding and we know they are not sold out with the economy. SO give us Florida rates also. We can get there with BOGO air. We have 5 upgrade coupons to use also, so BD is fine to buy & we get BA AFT. $250 deposit we have to use by November. So let us know when you find us a cruise, thanks NCL. quote=cruzinaway;18777097]Just spoke to our PCC...it looks like the 2 for 1 promotion is available on a few select sailings in 2009 and applies to inside, balcony and mini-suite cabins.

AFT_LOVER Posted March 25, 2009 #23 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was just on NCL site for the Hawaiian cruise which has been $899 for over 2 weeks & this is a one day sale? Then I choose 4/11 sailing. We are hoping to get BOGO air to & from Honolulu to CLE on CO. I click on balcony I see the prices for all categories: BA - $999 BB - $979 BC - $949 BD - $1859 ++++ BE - $1839 BF - $1819 BG - $1799 BI - $899 ++++ stands for - since when is BD the best balcony? Is BI a guarantee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is BI a guarantee? Aft Lover. We are cruising in Hawaii on June 13th. We were booked in a BA and the BA price was the same $2219 we were booked for but the BB was $1279 and the BC was $1249. BD thru BG were still over 2000. Final payment is due next Monday so we switched to a BC, exactly 2 floors down with the same larger deck and after it was all done, we saved $1915 for the 2 of us. For those who have never called your PCC before to change prices or rooms, it is really easy. I have called twice now and both times the PCC was fantastic and very helpful.

AFT_LOVER Posted March 26, 2009 #25 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hawaii cruise has $899 for a guarantee balcony, which I have seen for over a month at online TAs & NCL. Now they have 2 for 1 but it isn't since the total is twice the $899 plus taxes. I had a phonecall from a woman asking why I am not going for the under $900 balcony sailing Hawaii, and I stated we sold our timeshare there after cancellation by Delta on our flight as we are boarding because we used DL Skymiles. So AMEX had to get us on the flight FC. The boss acted quite strange as he gave us our tickets & boarded us. SO I will not try it again. I tried entering PG1DAY and nothing. Every online TA has the same price with nothing extra. So to me, no deal. Then the mastercard closing thread has folks stating they got $300 off a cruise for their 300 point upgrade certs. NCL stated NO & B of A states the card is closed & so are their records but $300 is 3 upgrade certs & no money off. So if we take the guarantee & we get a low balcony can we move up to BA? The PCC stated he didn't know. Aft Lover. We are cruising in Hawaii on June 13th.
