Maraprince Posted February 15, 2017 #726 Share Posted February 15, 2017 And the same vouchers would be there whether there is one platinum in a studio or 4 in a suite. Thanks for the quick response. Great news! Just added my 2nd Extra Charge Restaurants to my other MDR restaurants. Now we can try La Cucina as well returning to Le Bistro.

davesgirl51 Posted February 15, 2017 #727 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Jeff,The secret is being a retired couple with two pensions. One pension for living expenses and the other for cruising. While I'm infusing humor, it's also the truth. John 100% correct !:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Dreaming Posted February 15, 2017 #728 Share Posted February 15, 2017 We were on the January 5 sailing of the Dawn and they deposited the double points (14) For booking out 9 months!! Yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpontone Posted February 15, 2017 #729 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Interesting. In the old tier, the Plantium got a free bottle of Sparkling Wine in their cabin. Not anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone (except people on their first NCL cruise) gets one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore[/quotes es, you do receive the wine in your cabin. The change with that is you cannot exchange it for a bottle of huge red or white. We had always done this in the past but the matre de in the dining room said that was no longer permitted. So, we got lots of Ora he juice and had mimosas on the balcony.

MagnoliaBlossom Posted February 17, 2017 #732 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I asked the Latitudes rep on our dawn sailing last week about the extra perk for 9 month advance booking and she said any cruise booked before 2/5 would be honored.

texasreb Posted February 17, 2017 #734 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Interesting, we're at 78 points and Platinum....I wonder if we'll stay there or get dropped down to Gold... From what I read on NCL. If you make Platinum by Feb 3, 2017 you stay Platinum. My beef is our cruise is Feb 19, 2017. we will have 77 points, but won't be Platinum. If they had announced this roll out some time earlier we could have changed to a January cruise, and be Platinum. Real bummer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreb Posted February 17, 2017 #735 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Under the new benefit plan, does a Platinum receive one or two coupon free speciality dining meals in the extra charge restaurants on a 7-day sailing (i.e., Le Bistro and La Cucina)? Not clear on this point. MARAPRINCE From NCL FAQ: It is per cabin, not cardholder. Two Platinums in a cabin will get two dinners, not four.

texasreb Posted February 17, 2017 #736 Share Posted February 17, 2017 When is this being implemented? I hit 78 points on my cruise next month! It goes into effect Feb 3, 2017. I phoned NCL about it. I and my wife will have 77 points Feb 26. Thought we would be Platinum after this cruise booked Sep 22, 2016. We will not be Platinum. Got to have 80 points now. sadly no advance notice to amount to anything. Jan 27 visit to Latitudes site showed being Platinum after this February cruise. Looks another poorly implemented roll-out by NCL IMHO they should have left Platinum level where it was, 75. Now some of us are hacked off over a few points.

punkincc Posted February 17, 2017 #737 Share Posted February 17, 2017 From NCL FAQ: It is per cabin, not cardholder. Two Platinums in a cabin will get two dinners, not four. There will still be two coupons for 'dinner for two' in each platinum cabin. One 'dinner for two' for Cagneys or Le Bistro and another coupon for 'dinner for two' at Moderno or La Cucina. So a Platinum couple will still go out to dinner twice on NCL, just like before, for 4 free meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jancl57 Posted February 17, 2017 #739 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Question... we booked our cruise on Feb 5 for next Feb 3. So 1 year out. Will we no longer receive the extra 7 points for booking outside of 9 months? I'm only a measly Bronze member.. would have been silver after our June cruise..then they changed.

texasreb Posted February 17, 2017 #741 Share Posted February 17, 2017 2017 Platinum change. I just spoke with NCL Latitude supervisor. Said if enough call in fussing about the 75-80 point change, and having booked in 2016. The upper management might do a grandfather. Just like honoring the extra point for booking the 9+ months out in 2016. I also found one press release where the Platinum level would be 76. I guess NCL decided to change it. 800-234-0292 Might give Guest Relations a call too. Speak now of forever hold your peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasreb Posted February 17, 2017 #744 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If all you need are a few points, book a short cruise. No short cruises out of N.O. Last cruise this year is in April. No they should honor the program we booked under. 77 points as of Jan 27 was Platinum. Now it is not. 10 cruises in 3 years with no bonus points. Feb 19 is our 11th cruise of one week duration. Some have been back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is laundry anyway? also, 1) oh, also noticed that there's no longer a Welcome Gift (box of Godiva chocolates) for Gold. :( 2) Internet minutes benefit: Internet packages are still by the Min? Thought it was by the Megabyte now? Edited February 17, 2017 by fstuff1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One platinum only in cabin -- 2 coupons that can be used for La C and Le B dinner for 2 for a total of 2 extra pay restaurants instead of the one dinner for 2 prior to the change in benefits???
