TardisDance Posted December 17, 2014 #76 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) It says that the UBP part of the promotion is "only available for guests 25 and older on any sailing from 3/1 - 4/15," but I see the Freestyle Choice promotion on cruise sailings after this date range. Does that mean that you can only pick from UDP or $200-300? I was going to wait on booking a Bermuda cruise for Sept or Oct. It looks like when I do a mock booking, UBP does show up by entering "CHOB." No OBC option is there or UDP. There's also a reduced fares promo and it looks like UBP also shows up under details if I select this instead.

Rare conandrob240 Posted December 17, 2014 #77 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It is very poorly worded. What it means is that during spring break travel period (3/1-4/15), they will not extend UBP to people under 25. To avoid a bunch of drunken spring break college kids.

Thank you for this; I was just doing a mock booking and saw this. They aren't listing the combination of CHODB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo807 Posted December 17, 2014 #80 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have similar on an european booking with dinner and beverage as the chosen options when booking, only the dining is showing. do I need to call to ge this fixed or is it normal? Did anyone ever look into this? I'm not showing the UBP on mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted December 17, 2014 #81 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I suspect not having the beverage listed is normal, I have a printout of the booking page showing it was included and the code is on the invoice and the wave page which says pick 2 of 3.

deerhuntingal Posted December 17, 2014 #82 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Won't work for me on a cancel/rebook situation for upcoming Alaska cruise. Prices are currently $1000 pp higher than my current rate which I booked two months ago...wonder why? NCL sure as hell isn't giving away free food and booze. It's all built into the rate, of course. One way or another, pax pays. Same for me....I booked 10 months ago and it would be a lot higher to cancel and rebook. I'll stick with my Balcony for $1,400 each instead of over $2,000 each!

Rare insidecabin Posted December 17, 2014 #83 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I guess 10 days at $624pp inc tax dining and beverage is not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted December 17, 2014 #84 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Did anyone ever look into this? I'm not showing the UBP on mine either. I just started a thread can you please go to it and put in what you were told. I'm on hold now with NCL. The thread says "if you booked yesterday with the promo" or something to that effect. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbrandon Posted December 17, 2014 #85 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thank you for this; I was just doing a mock booking and saw this. They aren't listing the combination of CHODB. It looks like they got it fixed today. For Caribbean sailings it is showing CHOB, CHOD, and CHOO promo code options plus says if you are booking a suite or Haven you do not need to enter a promo code and will automatically get all 3. I didn't check any of the sailings that get a choice of 2 options but I would think they have fixed those by now too. Poor planning on NCL's part not having the website working properly when the promo started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted December 17, 2014 #86 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Poor planning on NCL's part not having the website working properly when the promo started. It was working fine when I was checking and booked 10:00 UK time(5:00 eastern) a european booking showed the 3 pick 2 combos Later in the day it seemed to have got broken(only showing Beverage) probably when someone in the US woke up and started playing with things.

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted December 17, 2014 Author #87 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We ended up booking on Feb 7th on the jewel out of Galveston with the ubp for 369pp. We will drive, won't have to pay for flights so super good deal! Might have to book another farther in the future, good promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted December 17, 2014 #88 Share Posted December 17, 2014 This wave deal on top of late booking prices is seriously good for those that can take advantage. If we can still use platinum perks it is a steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TardisDance Posted December 17, 2014 #89 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Something strange is definitely going on. There's reduced fares for Breakaway cruises on some of the late Fall sailings, but if you do a mock booking, they don't show. Last night, they did but that's when not all the package options weren't showing. I was planning to call to book anyway, but I'd really like to know what the actual price is! It's just confusing!

If we can still use platinum perks it is a steal If we can use platinum perks? Why would you not be able to use plat perks? Those have no relation to any sale or promotion.

JMHAM1 Posted December 18, 2014 #91 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Does anyone know if you book the ultimate dining or ultimate drink package and you have teens in the room with you, 4 total in room, do just the first two PAX get the package or does everyone? I couldn't find it in the promo info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find it in the promo info. The T&C of promos are always linked at the very bottom of the promo page, this info is found there. :) Everybody in the cabin will get UDP. Passengers 1 and 2 will get UBP, passengers 3-8 will get only soda package even If they were adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those have no relation to any sale or promotion. The bistro dinner for two with wine, does not combine well with a free UDP. Nice to be able to donate the dinner to a UK booking and still get the wine. The $20 discount when buying the UDP does not compensate for 2 bistro and a bottle of wine.

The $20 discount compensates for the ONE dinner you will not be using the UDP for because you will be using your voucher for dinner for two at Le Bistro and a bottle of wine instead. We actually used the UDP and gave our voucher to our adult kids to dine with us at Le Bistro since they did not have the UDP.
