Into Cruising Posted July 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2015 States "Studio or higher" is an inside room higher than a studio? Will it qualify for the Adult Beverage package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlechest Posted July 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Where's the August promo? The current promo says that any booking BEFORE December 22 applies to any room, but 2016 sailings still are Oceanview or higher. Do you have a link you can share?

CruisinMaterial Posted July 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Welp, looks like I'm going to rebook my inside cabin in August. :D Watch your pricing. NCL is infamous for jacking them up when new promos go out. That happened the second they included studios and insides in the promotion for the itinerary I was looking at. It's not a promotion when you're paying for it in the base fare anyway. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted July 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2015 OK--I am confused...in second box.."Dining Packages"..third column says.."guests per person"...what the heck does that mean??????? Gratuities per person, based on the wording in the table above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlechest Posted July 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Gratuities per person, based on the wording in the table above it. I understand the first table. It's the gratuities for the UDP/UBP/Soda based on the length of the cruise. The second table, not so much. It looks like a SDP gratuity table, but why did they include it? EDIT: I'm not so sure this is going to give the UDP to inside and studios. Why else would they say: Dining Credit: $50 dining credit per person for guests 1 - 2 on the reservation. Guest is responsible for 18% gratuities & service charges on specialty dining once on board. Dining credit can be used towards specialty dining gratuities.

theloo Posted July 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Am I reading right that prepaid gratuities are now an option for inside cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyMommyof2 Posted July 23, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Does anyone know if the reduced deposit is going to be making a come back for 2016 bookings soon? Maybe in August?? I did see that if you booked for any remaining 2015 cruise, deposit was reduced. I can't remember how long ago it was and how long it stayed around.

monkeybone Posted July 23, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I wonder if suites will get all promos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlechest Posted July 23, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Am I reading right that prepaid gratuities are now an option for inside cabins? Why wouldn't they be? I just prepaid mine to lock in the $12.95 rate for a 2016 cruise. BTW, I suspect this Aug promotion is identical to the current July one. That's why it doesn't say anything about oceanview vs. inside and studio. It depends on the sailing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloo Posted July 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Why wouldn't they be? I just prepaid mine to lock in the $12.95 rate for a 2016 cruise. No, I mean, FREE prepaid gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coscab Posted July 23, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 23, 2015 No, I mean, FREE prepaid gratuities. Gratuities have been added as one of the choices for August promo, insides included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloo Posted July 23, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Gratuities have been added as one of the choices for August promo, insides included. The way the options are listed is a bit confusing. Yes, the price has increased on my cruise ($70 for 2 passengers), but the free gratuities will be worth $190, so I guess I'll be changing that reservation.

Sizzlechest Posted July 23, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I see what you mean, but this is grouped so poorly, I'm honestly not sure exactly what's in this promo. The gratuities on a 7 day cruise for two people are worth $90.65pp currently and even more after the next increase takes hold. Unless your cruise has 4 port stops and you plan on doing excursions through NCL on all 4, this is the best by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toast another magical sunset, compliments of our FREE Unlimited Beverages. Indulge in delicious meals with our FREE Unlimited Specialty Dining. Don't worry about the tip with the FREE Gratuities.

erocrobro Posted July 24, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Great. Now I have to debate whether I want to rebook for a better date and use KSF but lose the UBP. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joteacher Posted July 24, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Anyone have any idea what they mean by"select sailings" in the wording? I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the date I need qualifies. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlechest Posted July 24, 2015 #24 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My sail date is currently half price for the 3rd person in my cabin, not free. Don't know how this will all shake out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
