NCL Promos questions/options

[new2cruising2006]

I am a little confused about some of the promos NCL is offering. Hopefully you can help.

1. Shore Excursion credit- is the $50 per day/port per person or per stateroom?

2. Specialty dining credit- can someone explain that to me or tell me where to get more details about it.

Thanks

From [url]https://www.ncl.com/promo/wave15[/url] (where you end up when you click "Learn More" on the promo on NCL.com):
[INDENT][QUOTE][b]Each stateroom [/B]receives a $50 per port Shore Excursion credit to spend on a wild adventure or a relaxing afternoon. For Bermuda each stateroom receives $150 worth of Shore Excursion Credits.[/QUOTE][/INDENT]
So that's [I]per cabin[/I], not per person.

[quote]2. Specialty dining credit- can someone explain that to me or tell me where to get more details about it.[/quote]
You get 3 to six meals for the first two guests in the cabin, depending on the cruise length. As far as I know you can use these at any of the specialty restaurants on any of the nights.

You could likely get more details calling your TA or calling one of NCL's TAs.

The shore excursion was per cabin and has to be used all at once. You cannot carry any balance over to a second excursion on a different port.

[gpb11]

Correct, good clarification. Use it or lose it at each and every port. Decent perk if you'll be booking an excursion through the ship at every port, not so great if you tend to do stuff on your own.

Leftover credit is not likely to be an issue for most people, most excursions for 2 will easily use up the $50 for that port and then some.

2. Specialty dining credit- can someone explain that to me or tell me where to get more details about it.[/quote]At the moment the promo does not offer a specialty dining [I]credit[/I] (previous versions of the promo did have this for the cheaper cabin categories). Right now all categories get a specialty dining package of 3 to 6 meals, as gpb11 explained.

We booked back in July for The Escape with a $50 dining credit....it applies to the first two of us in the cabin, meaning we can eat in any speciality restaurant and have $100 to spend. I asked about my kids coming with us and my 18 year old can be included in the $100 and our 14 year can eat off the kids menu for free (he is a bit picky and doesn't like anything fancy). I called this morning and that's the information I got as i had forgotten what the promo was all about at that time.

Starting in September this was reduced to $50 per stateroom. :( I assume this is indicated clearly on your cruise documents. Make sure you get the full amount on board!
