We never dine with an officer and not sure we ever will. It's just not something we're interested in at this time.

We did the behind the scenes tour once... that was interesting. Otherwise I just enjoy the discounts and other perks.

This has nothing to do with being platinum or new. It's about when you booked. If you had called in today as a platinum you would get the lesser rate as well. But, having sailed enough to become platinum, you should know that...

When you booked and used points you got a redemption email.

When you cancel you should have gotten a redeposit email. Unless you are in penalty phase

Definitely didn't get a redeposit email. And the cruise isn't for a year so no penalty yet.

I called this morning and was on and off hold with someone for 25 minutes. She ended up taking my number to call me back.

They go back to your account

automatically or do you have to intervene?

I have tried calling twice but I couldn't wait on hold more than 20 mins as I was at work so I haven't successfully reached anyone yet.

Thank you!!!

Ah ok, well maybe I will give worldpoints a call. Or else see if my TA knows anything about it.

I was successful in getting points returned but I did it as part of the cancelation process. Not sure what happens if you try to do it afterwards.

How did you do it as part of the process? I use a TA so my TA cancelled it for me

I had used points to do a cross meta upgrade from oceanview to balcony... the cruise wasn't until next November but we've cancelled it. Does anyone know if I forfeit the used points or if they get refunded?

Hmmm I can't find them.

No and not sure I'd recognize/notice them. Meeting the execs is not on my vacation to-do list... lol

7 cruises between April 2011 and Sept 2016... so about 5ish years?

Hmmm, you have just prompted me to do same... TY! :cool:

LOL I have always been a bad influence ;)

Thanks, all! I wish the $250 was at 14 days as I have one of those coming up but oh well. Still have $450 coming with booked cruises and should take plenty more!!

I bought 100 shares of NCL stock. I've been thinking about it for a couple of years... but knowing nothing about how to buy stock stopped me. But after extensive research it's finally done! Hellooooooo, OBC!

We book early and find NCL’s fares to be very competitive.

Same here. And we use all the discount opportunities we can (booking onboard, future cruise certs, points upgrades). Plus the loyalty perks weigh in there as well.

"porch" lol

It's normal that when you modify a reservation you get "today's" rate and promotions. I don't see this as them not honoring the points.

My suggestion is to stop checking the price, since you know you can't get the new rates.

I do the cross meta upgrade from oceanview to balcony. This way I still get the 2 perks and being in a balcony gives me the option to upgrade bid on suites.

so to get the 3% on the ncl credit card for ncl cruises, you have to book through ncl 1st, then transfer to TA?

booking through a TA wont get you the 3%?

Booking with a TA will get you the 3% provided the charges come directly from NCL. Though, really, you shouldn't use a TA where this isn't the case.

If you book on the ship you can sometimes get a small price break (they might run the promo where you can pay for the lowest level inside but get one in a better location). I've never booked a cruise via priceline - do they charge fees if you need to cancel? I use a TA but not a big box one.

Huh - I have never seen them that close. Is that per person or accounting for everyone in the cabin?

You said you don't mind insides but you are going to do a balcony just to use the double cruise next voucher? Isn't the balcony upgrade more than the savings you get from the 2nd voucher?

I guess I've always had a good group that didn't care because even with kids present after 11... The three cruises I've been on they didn't hold back at all. The songs were raunchier, the toasts were raunchier, and the language was raunchier... And they didn't give one rats ass about any kids present. LOL. They gave the verbal warning and then cut loose. ;)

I'm glad to hear that!! I had some that def did care and toned it way down.

Sometimes when kids are present after 11 they won't do some songs/gags and they point out that the kids are the reason. Don't ruin it for everyone.
