Be aware: no written price confirmation for shorex booked by phone to be paid on ship

Under the Terms & Conditions, it did not appear that pre-payment was part of the process. BUT I have read on here that they are now allowing it (and the rude supervisor with whom I spoke the other day said I could do it); just do it by phone and be absolutely sure they tell you that you WILL get the shorex credit on your on board account after you take the excursion. Keep a note of their name and your conversation.

 

I think I spoke to the same person because I called this morning to confirm prepaid were OK (I'm cruising in November and then May... both with excursion promo) ... the representative was super polite but explained the T&Cs are what she has to quote and inform a customer.... she transferred me to her very snippy supervisor when I asked again about the prepaid specifically being honored .... he told me "NCL is not in the habit of changing T&Cs verbally and that I could do what I wanted but he would not promise that a prepaid excursion would be honored as the promo clearly outlines the conditions that must be met"... yikes!

I am paying for my Shore excursions by buying OBC, since the shore excursions will be charged on ship.

Thank you all, this is good to know. And yes, great idea to buy OBC to cover the shorex's! I hadn't even thought of that.
