Sotermarler Posted August 17, 2015 #77 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This is what I'm worried about. Did they not offer anything in the letter? Yes, they offed for me to sail one year earlier or nothing! I already am sailing with THEM this November. Geesh! That is the most ridiculous offer EVER! They could have easily put me on the Getaway at the same price/dates but wouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Don Posted August 17, 2015 #78 Share Posted August 17, 2015 3 hours later....bottom line NO PRICE PROTECTION! I couldn't be more upset with NCL right now. I was on the Jade out of Galveston Western Carrib. 11/2016 with UBP and KSF for 3, for balcony, $1900. The Dawn and the Getaway had like itinerary's and dates but they wanted $2800 for the same. No price protection or package protection. When I asked to book a lower category and see if they would give me a free upgrade, they said no. I tried to be flexible on dates, ships and itinerary's but no luck. My agent said she noticed that all balconies on everything she checked was coming in at $2800 for the 3 of us, which even she thought was weird. NO LUCK FOR ME! its looking like its going to be CARNIVAL for us. Here is the kicker, our final payment for our Escape cruise is due this week...if I didn't already have airfare, and hotels, I would be canceling this too. GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! :mad: They wouldn't let you sail the Jade out of Tampa at the same time with same price?

Vacationlover2 Posted August 17, 2015 #79 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I can't even get through to my TA!!!! Do you think NCL would let me deal with them directly. This is crazy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotermarler Posted August 17, 2015 #80 Share Posted August 17, 2015 They wouldn't let you sail the Jade out of Tampa at the same time with same price? That was exactly what I wanted to do,but they said there were no cruises out of Tampa at that time. That the Jade would be in the Mediterranean???

I am booked on the Thanksgiving cruise 11/20/16 - everything transferred over. I think you need to call back. Your cancellation letter should have given you an option for price protection?

emcelh Posted August 17, 2015 #82 Share Posted August 17, 2015 When and if you get an answer as to which dept will help CAS clients, I would appreciate an update here, thanks. It's all sorted out. I got the cabin I asked for and have confirmations with same amenities that were included with original booking. The fare confirmed is slightly higher (not enough to cancel over though). CAS rep said that he wasn't able to discount it further but if I call the support desk (which I'll do later in the week) they may be able to adjust it. He also gave me an email address for CAS to use to inquire about an adjustment. I had a suite with a TR 20%s discount which may complicate things. I'm happy though. I actually like the new itinerary better and the deck 10 SF suites on the Jewel Class ships are great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escentialssoycandles Posted August 17, 2015 #83 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The taxes on the Jade are higher, so it did bump up my price by $6.50 more pp, but they gave me an extra $100 of OBC for the inconvenience and long hold time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulch Posted August 17, 2015 #84 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Update on moving my January 2017 Spirit to January 2017: It took 3 hours due to numerous system crashes. Great customer service, horse**** management that made this mess to begin with. Because Epic starts Caribbean sailings a week later than our Spirit booking, we had to move our sailing back by one week. Price protection does not include port fees, which vary by US departure port as well as foreign ports and have gone up? I'm not really sure.... Janine is our agent (so at least three people answering the phone) and she will try to work extra OBC to cover the difference -- but probably won't happen today. Although our new stateroom (same category) is fine, she will look for better staterooms when the system uncrashes -- maybe tomorrow? Although this experience has been miserable, Janine has been wonderful and really worked hard for us. I plan to send an "attaboy" for her. Best luck to everyone else!

dexddd Posted August 17, 2015 #87 Share Posted August 17, 2015 abbyar SAME cruise I think we were booked on Nov 2016? We too have an SJ........been on hold for 30 minutes. We are actually a family of 8......so I am curious if they will book me in 2 Balcony Cabins and still give me my perks.Keep me posted....curious to see if we end up getting similar information. You have 8 in one SJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted August 17, 2015 #88 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I emailed my PCC last week, as I hadn't received an email confirming the cancellation. She said she would call me this week and has just done so. The system hasn't been fully updated with the new cruises, but is calling round finding out what people's preferences are so she can call back to confirm. I'm impressed with what she's doing.

escentialssoycandles Posted August 17, 2015 #91 Share Posted August 17, 2015 She had an SJ + an inside. Looks like she wound up with the SC + inside (maybe)? Yes I have a SC now and an inside. I had to make another quick change as I did not want to be under the gym......so I just called the regular 1-800 # and got through in 2 minutes and moved cabins.

I had to make another quick change as I did not want to be under the gym......so I just called the regular 1-800 # and got through in 2 minutes and moved cabins. I was going to mention that. We were under the gym on the Gem and it was soooo awful. Awful awful awful. I like going to the gym and all but did not like the sound of weights dropping on my ceiling at 6 am. I will be asking for a sc under the spa if we can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyar Posted August 17, 2015 #94 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Got through! Can't remember the name but it was one already mentioned here.

abbyar Posted August 17, 2015 #99 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Grrr... so again, my request has to go to "revenue management". This sucks. Apparently I got too good of a deal and b/c the difference in price is over $2K it has to be approved and I won't hear anything until tomorrow. This is sooooooo bad on Norwegian's part. So, so bad. As if they didn't know before making the change who was booked? i'm so sad & angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
