How much did you spend on extra-charges?

[coffeebean]

Just looked and its Daily service charge on my invoice.

 

Thanks. Just as I thought...automatic tipping.

When you book you can ask for them to be added to your invoice.

 

+ side it's all included in your payment and is about $20 cheaper.

 

-s obviously you can't go to reception and remove them IF bad service etc..

 

Thanks, I never knew this.

Nope. Tipping is not required. http://www2.ncl.com/faq#n19261

That's why we're here....just note that it doesn't apply in the US.

Are you sure you can't in the US? That link above on DSC explains how to prepay and I believe that's the American NCL site?

No discount for prepayment....or if there is, YOU got the scoop on it. First time its been mentioned.

I've paid £45 which at todays rate is $69. Onboard it would cost me 7*12 = $84 so save $15.

Right..and in the US, it would be $84 now, or 7 x 12 = $84 later, so save nothing.

That's a shame. So the only reason would be as per the site to manage your budget. Once it's paid as part of the holiday leaving your onboard account is just food/drink/expenses/excursions.

Hmmm, I never realized, they are kind of "double dipping". They charge you from the day you board and for the full day of disembarkation. Plus they then charge the person(let's say a couple) before you/or after you, so they are really getting $48/1st &last day times 2 or an extra $96. :confused: Wish I could keep that in my pocket.

No, you are actually on the ship for 8 days, so 7 logical days and not your last day which is the first of the person after you.

No, they don't.

 

 

They charge you for each "night". So day 1 there are no charges. Day 2 there's a charge the 1 to 2 night, etc.

You’re right, they charge for each “night”. Forget about the number of the “days”. Just count the number of “nights”.
