01Holiday Posted April 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2014 After cruising on the Epic in 2013 we decided to book another NCL - Pride of America but even after discussions with different reputable travel agents you don't seem to get the added extras when booking from Australia - booking early (18months) didn't make any difference, upgrades, onboard credits don't seem to apply even our Latitudes points meant nothing I realise Pride of America is a bit of a unique cruise but after everything i read on cruise critic is Australia the exception??? Could you please advise if you know otherwise as its a bit disappointing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that some countries do not receive the same benefits as we do in the bookings. Something to do with the travel protections offered by other countries.

01Holiday Posted April 4, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I had wondered that :( Thought about booking direct with NCL but you get directed straight to the Australian Website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted April 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2014 You might get more direct experience by posting your question on the Australia/New Zealand Cruisers forum, about half way down the list of forums. Someone there has probably done some research on the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
