Into Cruising Posted June 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I thought June Promo included 50% deposits for all sailings. I ran a request for an 11 day European Cruise for Feb 2016..... Deposit for 2 people in an inside cabin is coming up at $800 Is this correct? Is it because of the length of the cruise or that it is a European cruise?

AdrenalineRush Posted June 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2015 They told me it was just on 2015 cruises. Its very misleading on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Into Cruising Posted June 11, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Book an Oceanview room or higher and choose from four great offers: Ultimate Beverage Package, Ultimate Dining Package, WiFi Package, or a Shore Excursion Credit. Best of all, book a Suite or The Haven and get all four offers for FREE! Plus, Friends & Family in the same stateroom sail free on select sailings. Now is an amazing time to Cruise Like a Norwegian. Plus, reserve any cruise by June 30th with just half of the deposit. Not misleading or confusing.....to me "any cruise" does not limit it to 2015 sailings. Pretty much they need to honor the 50% deposit on 2016 sailings, or it is false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinIllinois Posted June 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Pretty much with any promotion you should read the Terms and Conditions. The applicable information is right there. Caveat Emptor.

Promotion can not be held as group block. Reduced Deposit is 50% off the standard deposit. Reduced Deposit does not apply to Haven and S1 categories. Reservation must be assigned with names.

StolidCruiser Posted June 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Why do folks search for "gotchas?" :p quote] Failing to read the terms and conditions of a fare, promo or special offer is the #1 reason people feel "cheated", "tricked" or (my favorite) that its "false advertising".

Into Cruising Posted June 11, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was informed by my PCC to hold off for the June Promotion to get the 50% deposit for our group sailing in 2016. Please direct me to the URL for the terms and conditions, which I do not see referenced on their site. Perhaps TA's got it, but the general public goes off of what they read on the NCL website....and it says Plus, reserve any cruise by June 30th with just half of the deposit. Not everyone is looking for gotcha's or trying to get over on the system.... nor do they deserve snarky replies to a simple question. While I appreciate the actual answer that it is only for 2015 sailings, I do not appreciate the snarkiness. Perhaps the question should have been why do people have to try to chide others who are seriously only looking for answers. I can tell you that if I got this kind of response from a NCL employee I would unbook the group cruise and look elsewhere. I sure hope you guys are not in any sort of customer care business.

computerworks Posted June 11, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Relax... you're getting your answers... Your TA should have known this, too. :rolleyes: http://www.ncl.com/termsandconditions/wavejune15?hide_hf=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted June 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Simply look at the promo page. Very bottom of the page is always where the link for Terms and Conditions are. http://www.ncl.com/promo/wave15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Into Cruising Posted June 11, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks for the link and thanks for pointing me to the small print for the T&C's. The point of a forum or a board is to give people the chance to gain from other people experience and knowledge. Reading back over my initial question, it seems I asked a legitimate question which was answered when I was told someone had been told it was for 2015 sailings only. I responded, that saying in the primary ad that says Reserve ANY Cruise by June 30th with just half deposit, is not only misleading, but false advertising. Yes, the T&C's spell out the terms differently, and I accept that. I was asking to eat a fish, not to learn how to fish. Maybe I am thin skinned, but I did take the answers to look it up and asking a rhetorical question of why don't people read the terms & conditions to have been quite snarky. I really do not need to be lectured to and have no need for trolls who whole life is to get on peoples nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdrdoso Posted June 11, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 11, 2015 on special page it states 50% deposit for select sailings and they are listed on that page, my jan 2016 getaway was on there and honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, not only do you not want to learn how to fish, you want to eat the fish caught by others AND bite the hand that feeds you. Interesting approach.
