GUT2407 Posted July 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2016 We have a cabin booked on Jewel next year. Still for from certain if we will be able to go or not. Anyone have any experience getting their deposit back if they have needed to cancel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie cruzer Posted July 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2016 We have a cabin booked on Jewel next year. Still for from certain if we will be able to go or not. Anyone have any experience getting their deposit back if they have needed to cancel? I've cancelled a few times before final payment....refunded straight away. I normally use a cruise reward as deposit and it gets put back on latitudes account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won't come to that, but as usual ducks to get in line first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwg Posted July 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2016 We have a cabin booked on Jewel next year. Still for from certain if we will be able to go or not. Anyone have any experience getting their deposit back if they have needed to cancel? I had to cancel with NCL last Fall. I called them up and told them I needed to cancel. No questions asked. They were very friendly and all was quick and painless. Refunded to original form of payment. All of this done before the final payment was due, of course. Also, as a side note, I had not purchased the insurance protection, so I'm not sure if that is refundable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mum and son Posted July 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2016 NCL are the easiest to deal with! If you do end up sailing with them remember to call them pre-cruise and offer to upsell yourself... I upsold myself all the way to a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Courtyard Villa (I think it's called The Haven these days?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be fussy about our location, but I'll keep an eye out for a deal. Put a deposit down after talking to a consultant all sounds great.

Yes, I had my eye on a specific suite and when prices dropped after final payment my TA phoned and negotiated an excellent upsell for the suite. It's worth a try if there is a cabin that suits you for the upgrade. I unfortunately had to cancel a South American NCL cruise a few years back... no dramas at all.

Probably the best booking experience I've ever had. If on board measures up we'll be happy little vegemites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted July 20, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Did you get cold feet with your NCL booking? No I started this thread before I made the decision to book. Just a question of if I booked and had to cancell how it would go. Also stunned by how low the deposit was anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted July 20, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I know it's still 18 months away, but any idea when bookings become available for entertainment etc. First go around with NCL they seem to do things a bit different. Also got specialty restaurant package, drinks package each (for two non drinkers that shouldn't kill them, but I wonder if they know how much Pepsi I can get through) and some shore credit.

Rare MicCanberra Posted July 21, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 21, 2016 $300 and something. That seems reasonable, especially as it is refundable prior to final payment.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted July 21, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I am surprised, X is normally quite a bit lower than by going through a TA. I think their minimum is $200 each. Still tossing up on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
