Thanks everyone for clearing that up! I looked everywhere on the NCL site and couldn't find anything. We are so excited this is our first cruise!
You will have a blast!! I love NCL. When's your trip?

Hi
I cannot seem to locate a post from SailBad that had a great map that he had had made showing bus routes and identifying many places on the island.
Thanks
The above post is something from sailbad. Hope this helps. When are you going to Bermuda?

This is my new favorite promo! I hope they bring it back again. I guess they needed to get some cabins filled on those specified cruises. Worked out great for us:cool:
Now the upgrade waiting game begins!!! I'm going to Bermuda on Breakaway on May 21, so I'll worry about it later!!

That's great! I am so happy for you! Aren't those agents at CAS easy to talk to? I'm not sure about the need to upgrade before the Tax Free spree is over. I want to say that you would keep your current promos (which includes the Tax Free) but I'm not a hundred percent sure on that part as it's an unusual promo. When I've done the upgrade in the past the same promos as I originally booked were available so I didn't have that one to lose. If you're sure you want an upgrade call and ask CAS if you would need to do that now in order to keep the Tax Free. You might want to check on an Ocean-view. There are a lot of good OVs available on the Breakaway and it is generally about $90 per person from inside to OV.
If they say your TaxFree is upgrade-able later, I would suggest you keep an eye on the current cost of your Inside room and the cost of Ocean-views and Balconies. I did this when I was comped an Ocean-view. When my OA (top ocean-view category) was very close in price to the bottom category of Balcony I called and asked to pay for the upgrade. I was extremely lucky on that one and they just moved me into it at no cost.
On another occasion, I just had to pay the cost difference for the current pricing. I got a top category Balcony for $110 per person. Hopefully you will have a chance (unless cruise is very full) to get it for much less than $350 per person. The Breakaway is a big ship with a lot of good balcony cabins so I think you're chances are better than on a smaller ship.
You will also be eligible for the new email Upgrade advantage program. There is no guarantee, but you might get an email from them about 80 days before the cruise where you will be able to 'bid' on the next two higher categories, which would be OV and Balcony. With this program you would definitely keep whatever promos you started with. (Personally, I just like to call CAS and pay the difference so I can pick out the cabin I want.....but to keep a good promo I would try the email bidding.)
So glad you have a great cruise booked at a really good price:D
Knowing that CAS told me an upgrade to a balcony would cost $350pp, I called my non-CAS PCC just to ask what the cost would be to upgrade from inside to a balcony...he said $200pp!! I told him CAS was charging $350pp...anyways, I called CAS just to confirm the upgrade price and was told $350 again. This time I asked why and mentioned price difference online was only $200...he said CAS has different pricings (??) He did say I can upgrade at anytime after the tax free promo without losing it. I guess I'll be calling CAS every other day to check prices! Wish me luck!!!

Combining this with an offer from CAS got me an amazing price. One inside ID for two, one B2 angled balcony for two, total price out of pocket for all four people combined is $1001.40. We all four get the 3 meal dining plus combined we get $200 OBC and 250 minutes of wifi, PLUS all of he platinum freebies on top of that. I am sure someone has gotten a lot better offer than that but I am happy with it.
That's really good!! Was one of your offers for a balcony or did you upgrade?

Excellent plan! As we are flying back home from a cruise, my DH always asks me when and where we are going next. Luckily, I always have a couple more booked:cool:
I like your style. We're in NY so no flying necessary. I tell ya, a woman's work is never done!!

Now all I have to do is tell my husband we are booked on a second cruise...I think I'll tell him on the May 21 cruise to Bermuda while he's enjoying the UBP!!🤣🤣

I would suggest you contact the main office CAS agents. They usually work Monday to Friday 9-5 Eastern. Call them at 1.877.752.9625. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.
Sand & Seas, I did it!!! OMG!! I called CAS and they had my certificate information on file, which she forwarded to me. I was able to book my cruise on the Breakaway for $280 for two of us. It's an inside room...Do you think I need to do an upgrade before the tax free spree promo is over?? She quoted me $350 pp to upgrade to a balcony... I'm hoping to wait till prices drop to upgrade. Your thoughts?
Now I don't have to take a trip out to Atlantic City to pick up my certificate! Thank you so much for your help!!

Oh wow. Yes, I cruised last year May on Breakaway to Bermuda, I'm booked to cruise in 35 days (May 21) back to Bermuda on Breakaway. I'll call them now. Thanks!

Sand and Seas....thank you, I only have one issue...I am scheduled to pick up my certificates on April 30 and the tax free spree seems to end in a couple of days. Do you also think I can book my cruise tomorrow w/o certificate, then apply my certificates in May? I think I'll lose the promo since NCL may consider it a new booking one I change over.

Do you think I can use the tax free spree offer with my Harrahs "free" cruise certificates where I'm supposed to only pay tax & port fees as a CAS guest?? This would be awesome!!!

I was on the Breakaway on May 1- May 8, as well. This was my first cruise and I had all the anxiety that comes with cruising for the first time. I must tell you all if there is a meet & greet, please attend and be on time...:). You get to meet amazing people you wouldn't otherwise have a chance to meet. After the M&G, I had friends!! Granted we spoke (mostly screeched and waved) in passing, but at one point I couldn't find my hubby and when they did see him, they passed on the message that I was looking for him...no walkie talkie needed when you know other passengers.
I really enjoyed sea days - we did everything and nothing at all. Hanging out at Spice H2O with Norman the bartender or just laying in the sun when it appeared was amazing. I celebrated my birthday, made new friends and great memories. Loved it!
I'm hooked and am looking into booking our next cruise....
Caesar's Total Rewards Offer - Free NCL Cruise - Any perks?
in Norwegian Cruise Line
Posted
this is an amazing offer. I have never heard of getting 4 perks with an inside cabin. Each time I've used my TR certificates (inside offer) and upgraded to a balcony, I've only been able to get the perks of my original inside cabin offer...
On another note** If you do not get offers from TR, try calling NCL - I got a comp'd inside cabin directly from NCL based on my and my DH's casino play on the last cruise...
