Do you have to book through NCL to us a CruiseNext certificate?

Or can you use them via big box sites, travel agents, etc.

You can book through all of the above.

Or can you use them via big box sites, travel agents, etc.

The reward certificates are in my account. My travel agent just tells NCL when I want to use them.

Just used mine with my TA. Booked with enough time to use two of them.

Very surprised that NCL doesn't cover this in the Terms and Conditions. Should be the first place you check (unless, of course, your first step is to simply ask your TA).
