When we contacted the right people in NCL we were told that the only exclusions were due to holiday periods not itinerary. You could always check with AmbassadorMembers@ncl.com

Question about Latitude points
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to jayfurr's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Go to https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2798420-ncl-promo-code-list-past-and-present/ and look for the latest listing of the codes. -
@complawyer The 7-day cruise is in a Balcony cabin. BUT it is not FREE, only the cruise fare is covered not the fees etc and you get NO perks (No Free at Sea). You get to choose the itinerary, the only cut outs are holiday periods. The cruise MUST be taken within ONE YEAR of becoming Ambassador and is for TWO people, My wife and I became Ambassadors a couple of months ago and we are doing the Pride of America twice, B2B. This is probably the most expensive 7-day cruise that NCL do.

@Dina7 I don't know how many Specialties you have but I would always do one the first night, especially early, as not many are prepared to do it then. You might find it more important to book Specialties where and when you want as they are likely to fill up leaving you with restaurants you don't want at times you also don't want.

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy Duty Free goods when disembarking at Queens Wharf in Auckland? Thank you. Anoynmous Phoenix

Refundable Deposit or non-refundable?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to kqcallahan's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@mjkacmom Actually all of those things make a difference, especially the timing of the booking. I am happy to stand corrected but please don't just disagree give specific examples with actual costs and differences. Thanks. -
Refundable Deposit or non-refundable?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to kqcallahan's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@kqcallahan .... someone told me that there are certain sales that don't count to this .... Don't believe everything you are told!! Talk to NCL about it. BUT I don't believe that there is any difference; when or under what conditions you book and pay the deposit; in the percentage loss on cancellation -
Cancelling a Free at Sea Offer
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to pete_coach's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@pete_coach I think both @julig22 and myself were doing just what you asked; giving you some logical advice! Should there be compensation or onboard credit if not taking those benefits? Sorry for not answering with one word!! No. -
Cancelling a Free at Sea Offer
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to pete_coach's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@pete_coach Cancel and go Sailaway. -
At the present time is the disabled brother travelling as a "third passenger" goes free"? Then is the "flare up" likely to have occurred in the very late period, well after Final Payment? Both would have an affect on the situation. I would think that this is so uncommon that the only answer would be looked for by NCL AFTER it had happened!! BUT I would get in touch with NCL to try to get a definitive answer. Also will the ship have "solo" cabins left that late in the process?

Iceland: Alta, Akureyri & Honningsvag Anyone?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to tashaaa's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@tashaaa Here are some thoughts, we did a similar cruise this year and have been to Reykjavik & Akureyri more than once. CRUISE ITINERARY OVERVIEv Reykjavik, Iceland Take a couple of local based tours, a 4hr sightseeing tour of Reykjavik and a full day Golden Circle tour. If you are staying in a hotel near Klemmer, the bus hub, there is a Food Court there that is very good, well used by locals, cheap for Iceland!! Djupivogur, Iceland Tender in and then spend 2 hours walking round, that would be enough for you to see every house and vantage point!! Akureyri, Iceland Three possibilities. 1) The expensive Jewels of the North w/refreshments from the ship (excellent we did it a few years ago) 2) If you just want to do Godafoss then there are plenty of local offers (leave the ship and walk towards the town!!) 3) the walk as described by @ontheweb Isafjordur, Iceland Another place where you could spend 2-3 hours wandering if you were unwilling to pay for a ship tour. Longyearbyen (Spitzbergen), Norway A half day tour using a local company and then go to the museum in the afternoon. DON'T expect to see polar bears in the middle of summer but the out of town locals MUST carry a rifle in their vehicle!! Honningsvåg, Norway If you haven't been there North Cape is a must, either by a local or ship tour. Hammerfest, Norway We did Hammerfest with Sami Experience from the ship this time and really enjoyed the experience. Alta, Norway Have not been to Alta Tromsø, Norway Two things you should do if staying in Tromsø at the end of the cruise, take the Fjellheisen cable car and also visit the Cathedral. We enjoyed the whole trip but we had wonderful weather. Be prepared to miss ports and have a rough time if you are very unlucky. Also remember, if you are there in the middle of summer, that you will NOT see the Aurora and will have VERY LONG periods of daylight. If you want to guarantee darkness to sleep take an Inside cabin!

Iceland: Alta, Akureyri & Honningsvag Anyone?

@tashaaa I agree with @FredZiffle Excursions in Iceland are prohibitively expensive. Especially in the small centres. A P -

Anoynmous Phoenix replied to tashaaa's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@tashaaa For Longyearbyen look at https://en.visitsvalbard.com/ and https://spitzbergen-reisen.no/en/adventures/day-trips/sightseeing-longyearbyen We actually did a private tour which was very good. A P -
Iceland: Alta, Akureyri & Honningsvag Anyone?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to tashaaa's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@tashaaa we would like to visit the north pole, this we are considering to take the excursion. If, on the other hand, if you are talking about North Cape, then I would recommend it. A P -
Iceland: Alta, Akureyri & Honningsvag Anyone?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to tashaaa's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@tashaaa we would like to visit the north pole, this we are considering to take the excursion. We have done much of this cruise including Svalbard but it would not be possible to visit the North Pole!! I presume you mean the North Pole Expeditions Museum in Svalbard. We didn't do that but did enjoy the tour of Longyearbyen. However there is little chance of travelling far outside the safe area and little chance of seeing polar bears. Will try to add other things later. Any specific questions? Anoynmous Phoenix. -
If you want alcohol to take on board Barcelona is a brilliant port!!! Your bags are inspected immediately you go through the doors. Then there is an alcohol selling area when you have checked in!!

Second thought about "Free at Sea" open bar...
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to mxpenguin's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Be thankful if you can remove the Alcohol Package and get money back. We book through the Sydney office and if we want to just remove the Alcohol Package the cost does NOT change. The only way to get it cheaper is to take a Guarantee offer. -

@greg2014 Was it possible/allowed to make photos during this excursion ? Yes it was in the galley and laundry BUT it always depends on the person leading the tour. I don't think that it was in the Theatre Back Stage area Was bridge included ? I don't think that the Bridge has been included in this tour for MANY years. A P

Boarding Time for 8:30pm Departure

Boarding time does not depend on Departure Time it depends on the Arrival Time and the requirements of the Port Authorities. A P -

What will happen for cruises leaving Haifa (Isreal)
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to PBM13's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@Jetstreamer Heck, they are still selling Israel cruises for next month!! Are they actually selling them? Have you tried to purchase one? Or is it just that it will take time to actually upgrade the details on the Cruise Lines websites? If you look at post 36 you will see the login about what will happen. I'm sure that all cruise lines will be issuing the same type of document. We are currently working through alterations for affected itineraries and will communicate changes to impacted guests and travel partners as they are confirmed.” A P
