Uniall Posted February 2, 2017 #626 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) The Ambassador free cruise... so you don't get any promotions? If that's the case, by the time I add in UBP and SDP, isnt it more like a small discount cruise? Doug I'll have to work out a plan on that one. I'm already thinking of asking if I can apply the value of the balcony cruise for a suite and pay the difference. As for the specialty dining, the 2 nights Platinum dining are good enough for a a 7 nighter. Then, the night of the officer dinner might be in specialty dining and should come with wine. Are favorites are: LeBistro, Cagney's and LaCucina, so that's a good fit. (I might splurge and go for a 3rd night) As for the UBP, I'll probably go back to bringing wine aboard and paying the $15 corkage. (Did you know "Rollator" seats are an exact fit for a case of wine.... LOL) With all the changes that are occuring, I hope the Future Crusie Rewards 4 pack promo is still on for our Panama Canal in two weeks. As you know, if you buy (1) $250 coupon, you get a $100 immediate OBC, making the cost $150. But the Special has a sliding scale and if you buy (4) $250 coupons, you get a $500 OBC. We'll use our cruise OBCs to pay half of the cost of the 4 coupons and then get our cash outlay purchase money back.

TOMTOMRN331 Posted February 2, 2017 #628 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I've been informed by two middle management persons that my 2018 bookings will receive the 9 month early booking bonus points. It's also stated on the FAQ page that cruises booked prior to Feb 3 2017 will receive the extra point for 9 + bookings. Looked tonight and it also spells out which tier level you will stay at with the new program. Happy we are again gold for our next cruise. Will just take longer for platinum .

drb247 Posted February 2, 2017 #629 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Reading the new program T&Cs regarding the free Ambassador cruise it says: "Ambassador members will be offered a one-time complimentary 7-day cruise. The cruise is for 2 people in a balcony stateroom, third and fourth guests will be at prevailing rates." Am I alone in reading that as 1 cruise per Ambassador? If me and my wife both reach Ambassador will we get 2 free cruises? Not that it matters too much.... I reckon I need 59 more 7 day cruises :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WORKING-TO-CRUISE Posted February 2, 2017 #630 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm already thinking of asking if I can apply the value of the balcony cruise for a suite and pay the difference. That is what we have done when the casino has provided us with a cabin and we've preferred a suite. Good luck. We are going to miss meeting you on the 2/5 Panama trip - Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uniall Posted February 2, 2017 #631 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That is what we have done when the casino has provided us with a cabin and we've preferred a suite. Good luck. We are going to miss meeting you on the 2/5 Panama trip - Karen Thanks for the encouraging info on an a possible upsell of the free balcony cruise. Wtihout mentioning the source, I'll use it as a justification argument that the Casino's upsell program should apply to Ambassador's program. As for the Feb 5 Panama Canal sailing, we'll miss seeing you, as well. Tell houskeeping to put Fwd Penthouse Suite 10000 on the prioity list, since we're now sailing for the return cruise to LA when you disembark in Miami on Feb 19.

TheDougOut Posted February 2, 2017 Author #632 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It's also stated on the FAQ page that cruises booked prior to Feb 3 2017 will receive the extra point for 9 + bookings. For me, it's still showing "for 2017 cruises" in the FAQs (even though we've been told it covers all future cruises). Unless you're seeing it somewhere else?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Your right - I just re read the FAQ page "for 2017 cruises that were booked prior to Feb 3 2017 the additional point will still apply" now I am curious about my 2018 and 2019 cruises.

Tiggertastic Posted February 2, 2017 #634 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Spoke to my PCC and he confirmed that I'd get the extra points on my April cruise as 'were honouring all points booked before 3rd Feb' and got it emailed to me.

Dajbman22 Posted February 2, 2017 #635 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) You might not when you taste them. We know it's not going to be veuve clicquot, but it will most likely be Korbel or some other american sparkling or a prosecco. I doubt it would be something like Andre.

I doubt it would be something like Andre. I don't see any reason why it would be any better than what they currently give out to platinums. I don't really know what it tastes like as I usually only drink it after I have had quite a bit elsewhere, but it certainly doesn't get a good write up from others.

asand5554 Posted February 2, 2017 #639 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sorry if this has already been answered - Are the 30 minutes internet and free laundry for Platinum per person (provided they have reached Platinum) or per stateroom? I am assuming per passenger, since those that are per stateroom are lusted as such. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on an 10 night Vancouver to Honolulu in October, followed by 4 nights in Hawaii. Just noticed the typo in my original post - I am "lusting" after these perks 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuizer2 Posted February 2, 2017 #645 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Okay, now that we got this all sorted out, lets get to the really important question ... If you cross the International Date Line on a cruise, do you still get point(s) for the night you lost? What if you are going in the other direction? Do you get point(s) for the extra night?

If you cross the International Date Line on a cruise, do you still get point(s) for the night you lost? What if you are going in the other direction? Do you get point(s) for the extra night? I would say that you should keep going in the direction that adds points, and then fly back in the other direction:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjquilts Posted February 3, 2017 #650 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My NCL has me @ the new Platinum + level, Now. :) . We're sailing Sunday - one of the first set of passengers under the enhanced Latitudes program. I've been holding off printing Edocs because I wanted them to say Platinum Plus :) Just checked and although My NCL shows Platinum Plus our edocs say No Status and Not Enrolled for both my husband and myself. Not printing anything tonight and hopefully tomorrow which is the actual change day our edocs will be correct. Kind of a bummer because I was hoping to get printing edocs crossed off my to do list.
