We’ve had the NCL MC for a year and a half. We use the card for everything and pay it off every month. We used points to upgrade from an inside to a balcony for our 20-day Panama Canal in October 2023, 11-day Europe and 12-day Greek Isles (B2B) in 2025. Using points saved us approximately $5,000, $3,500 and $3,500 respectively. if you’re happy with a balcony cabin, cabin upgrades are the best use of points.

The OBC is a TA perk. You need to ask your TA if you would get it.

I really like your user name!

I have not. I would think you would need to request the upgrade very early because of the limited number of accessible cabins. Although, I have heard of pax booked in an accessible cabin when they don’t need one being moved to another cabin. I hope someone who has done it is able to provide a more knowledgeable answer.

The biggest benefit is using points for a cabin upgrade. We upgraded from an inside to a balcony for our 20-day Panama Canal cruise and saved $5,000, which is more than we paid for the inside. If you routinely book higher than a balcony, this would not benefit you.

We upgraded from an inside to a balcony for our 20-day Panama Canal Cruise. Saved $5,000, which is more than the cost of the inside cabin! Score!

I just accomplished our first double meta upgrade for our 20-day 10/2023 Panama Canal cruise. Saved $5,000!!! Cha-Ching!

We’re still NEGATIVE. Our OnPoint appointment was at 6:00 tonight. We logged into the Zoom call at 5:54. The proctor came on at 6:03. There were some issues with her audio, which she corrected after a few moments. We used our free government tests. Proctor verified our negative results. Email with results received at 6:19. Screenshot results. We are ready to sail in two days. I would use OnPoint again. - Tina

We are on NCL Spirit 10-day Alaska out of Seattle.

Our test is scheduled for 8/3 at 6:00 pm. We sail on 8/5. I will let everyone know how it goes. I've seen a few negative YouTube videos, but I trust my CruiseCritic community more than YouTube. If it doesn't go well, we'll find another way to get tested.

Your test will be done by video.
