And so often yu read posts from people wh said they were allowed to use it, yu just don’t know what the real story is? 🤨

I’m a pretty good packer, and always have a spare toothbrush that “lives” in my suitcase, but if I’m going to forget something it’s gonna be toothpaste. But it’s not a common occurrence and I probably haven’t spent a dime in any onboard store in years.

Julie, I was told this month that SHOBC could not be used for CNs or DSC. I wish there was some consistency at NCL 😵‍💫

No, no, no. This was a gift as a friend of 14 years, not somethng expected otherwise. The original questions was, could it be done. Yes, it can, but I don’t think any PCC would ever expect it

As to gifts; my PCC works from home and years ago she began sending me Christmas cards,so I have her address. We have become friends over the years,14 of them now, She was going through a difficult time and some big surgeries and I sent her flowers. It was not a problem, but it might be if your person works in a call center and it is something like a gift card. The best gift is a nice note telling her how pleased you are and asking her to send you her business cards so you can share them with friends. After each cruise VE sends me a welcome home note and a few business cards enclosed.

I don’t have it listed anywhere, but if I call into NCLs main line they will say, oh I see VE is your PCC can I transfer you? We can’t see it but they can. Call NCL and ask if the person you dealt with is listed as your PCC, if not ask if that person is still with the company and if so ask for their extension number. Then call the person and ask that you be assigned as his/her client. Shouldn’t be difficult, but yu may need to be proactive.

It should not be a problem.

Once you were assigned to a PCC, their name should be on your account, although it could be they are no longer with the company or they may have Ben out that day you called. My PCC always has a voice message when she is out for any length of time and it gives an alternate PCC who will help yu ou. My lovely lady was out several weeks for surgery and I did need to speak to her pitch hitter, and she was lovely. I let my lady know and she said, she already knew we had spoken as her friend updated her frequently on interactions with her clients. if you’re u are lucky enough to have found a good PCC, keep track of her.

It is my experience that people sell their CNs and CFs for $50 less than they paid for them, so $200 for a cert they paid $250 for. You should go look at the social media site and see how it works.

I’ve never had a problem buying the CF at the time of booking. But I always book with a PCC not a TA..

Taken from the TCs on the BOA site Onboard credit may not be used toward onboard service charges or pre-purchased activities

I’m pretty sure that in the past when I had OBC on NCL, it could not be used for DSC. Granted it wasn’t WP OBC, but it was nonrefundable so same difference.

NCL, who are nothing if not consistently inconsistent

Just put so long as you don’t want hash browns 😉

The 19th. Let’s chat about it on the other site.

Prior to the December cruise we’d not sailed PCL for 15 years. Then we discovered theNCL MC and it won us over. Especially since the old program under MBNA was superior in some ways to the new one, although this program is much more flexible. We’re doing the Regal in Jan of 25, come join us! 😉

Take them back to the restaurant are on the OL. That’s what we did. Just seems polite and reasonable. Guess I’m weird but when I leave a table in a lounge, I our ,u empty glass on the bar. we were on the 2/2 sailing of the Prima and they were still serving breakfast and afternoon snacks. Oh well.

We are inthe same boat. We got a real deal on the Regal Princess in December and had a wooonderful cruise. Reminded us of why we fell in love with cruising all those years ago. We have booked her again, when NCL changed their plan to bring the Escape to Galveston. Price and perks with plus program almost the same. But, it’s hard to walk away from Diamond perks, s we will continue to sail NCL, but we certainly have a nice alternative.

Oops didn’t see the other answers before I posted. 😳

Yes, they count toward your $1000 goal, and you get triple points for them

Yes but general barding which is after all the priority categories does go by number but the boarding goes pretty quickly. The only reason, aside from wanting to get your vacation started (an excellent reason) is if you need to make reservations on board and want to get a specific time, place, etc. But in all honesty, the I can’t say I have ever seen someone with a later time be turned away. I have seen it with another line, but not on NCL.

If I remember correctly ( 🤣). Ali sums is a pretty sh Eat tender ride and it went smoothly.

The only thing I will buy is a tee shirt and toothpaste, and the tee shirt is a maybe. 🤭

I think it’s a personal choice depending on your financial situation. Generally speaking if the difference between IA and OV is less than $300 I go with the OV. But if I have scads of points then I just use them. I have so many big CC expenses on a regular basis that saving points is not a big issue for me.

Yes, you can cancel and rebook, but make sure it’s cost effective to do that. no, princes does not do status matching. before you book a cabin on a cruise on which you plan to use WPs, call WP and ask what level you need to book to get you to the level balcony you want. Usually if you book a mid level Inside yu get a mid level balcony, but not always. Some of the smaller ships, such as the Dawn only have BA and BX balconies. To get a BA you must book one of the top two interior categories to avoid a BX.
