I want to send a big thank you to everyone who responded so quickly.
I just spoke with another Guest Services Representative who has assured me that the initial date that I contacted NCL via chat (which was on July 3, 2023) is the date that NCL opened the refund request. She confirmed the case number, reservation number, latitude number, and sailing date with me, and stated no other information was required at this point in time.
She further stated that the request is under review and in process, and instructed me to check my emails and even my spam folders in case NCL needed further information.
Finally, the Guest Services Representative instructed me to contact NCL again if I had not received a response by August 3, 2023.
One final question for those of you with past experience in receiving refunds from NCL. Does NCL normally take the full 30 days to respond and/or to refund the funds?
Thank you again everyone!
