Dayana Posted April 26, 2017 #26 Share Posted April 26, 2017 We tried getting an OBC a couple months ago and were told we didn't qualify because one of our "free at sea" benefits was free gratuities. Does anyone know if that excludes me from this promo as well? It probably means that you would have to give up the free gratuities promo as it's not a current promo being offered. In order to take advantage of new promos you have to be willing to give up old promos that are no longer offered at the time of the change.

Dart17 Posted April 26, 2017 #27 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks so much for the tip!! We called our TA and were able to get a $300 OBC for our December cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoy Posted April 26, 2017 #28 Share Posted April 26, 2017 We're booked in a Suite on the Pearl for August and already had $100 obc. I called my NCL Cruise Consultant today to see if I could take advantage of this offer. She said I can get an additional $200 obc but I would have to make my final payment by tomorrow afternoon. This is 19 days before it's due. I have no problems paying early since I already had the money set aside and I can make $200. Done deal.

Kaptivate Posted April 26, 2017 #30 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Would I be eligible for the onboard credit if my cruise is before final payment date ,and is one of the cruises applicable to the promotion, but my category is currently sold out? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I was not able to get any credit added for my sailing because our category is sold out.

Rare uneamie Posted April 27, 2017 #31 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was unable to get this because the price for our cruse went up and we would have to pay the increase ...not worth it for us. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kismet618 Posted April 27, 2017 #32 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I also did a mock reservation for our January 7th Dawn cruise out of San Juan and the promo is available for our suite with no price increase. Must I go thru my TA(she's always super busy)or can I just call NCL? The category is not sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrickles1 Posted April 27, 2017 #33 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm 99.9% sure you need to go through TA. I also tried a mock reservation for my Escape cruise, 7/1/18, and my price is the same and the $100 promotion is available for my balcony cabin (angled balcony cabin). I just sent an email to my TA and expect the obc to be added without issue.

roboclam Posted April 27, 2017 #34 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Cruise price remained the same (had booked a suite) but they wanted the full deposit of $1500.00 to do it, lost the first $100.00 in OBC to get the $300.00 of OBC they are now offering...I had used a "cruise next" certificate along with another $550.00 to total $800.00 as my deposit, to get the additional OBC I had to re-book and pay an additional $700.00 towards my deposit making it a full $1500.000 to get the new Promo...NCL has become something/s that I am not sure I want to deal with after this cruise...??? Have a great day... Rob:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larhar Posted April 27, 2017 #35 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I also did a mock reservation and the OBC was included in the total. I called NCL to see if it could be added to my reservation. Unfortunately I am past my final payment date by one week and didn't qualify. I would have blown it in the casino anyways so not a big deal.

momoftwinteens Posted April 27, 2017 #36 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was told it wouldn't work for me. I would have to cancel and re-book. You see, when I booked my Alaska cruise, the AARP discount was still in effect. If I cancel and re-book, I will lose that discount. The OBC isn't worth it.

karinad Posted April 28, 2017 #37 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I was looking at cruises on NCL last week and found the cruise I've been looking at had dropped in price and had $100. onboard booking credit for a BD CAT. for a 10 day cruise for the 2 of us. I signed into our Latitudes acct. and $100. more dollars was added on along with 2 perks. I emailed my travel agent that I use and as usual she gave us a discounted rate and the quote had $100.OBC. I told her that NCL has a $200. OBC on the reservation. I took a screen shot of it and emailed her. She said that the best thing to do was to book the cruise with NCL and she could then take it over. She faxed NCL and did take it over and the receipt still only says $100. OBC, but my NCL reservation on their site says $200. This all happened tonight, so I didn't get to check with her which I will do tomorrow. Has anyone ever run into this? This was all under the Latutudes special that ends on the 30th of April, which I assume this is what everyones talking about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have $200 OBC. $100 for the Latitude special that your cruise qualifies for and $100 for the Balcony and above special promotion going on now. Even though you are booked with a travel agent you can call NCL direct and request a copy of your amenity confirmation - - it will list your promo perks and the OBC amounts.

Thanks for replying and re-assuring me. I was able to go into my NCL account and it does show the $200. I just did email my TA so that she corrects in on her invoice. This is the 2nd time I had to correct her. She put the wrong cabin number on the invoice. I will stop back here and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for the heads up… Called my TA and I actually did a three-way call with Norwegian and was able to get an additional $300 of OBC without any changes to our sweet, pricing, or reservation. I hope all of you are able to take advantage of this as well. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntrip Posted April 28, 2017 #41 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I called NCL directly and they added it without having to rebook. I had just booked a few days earlier, and cabin price was the same.

bosmom Posted April 28, 2017 #42 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks for the tip. I called and it was added. I have two rooms, one paid and one not. They applied it to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norway olin Posted April 29, 2017 #43 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Four days ago I called and got the credit added for two rooms reserved for next year. $140 for the minisuite and $300 for the Haven. Today, only a few days later guess how much the room price has suddenly risen. $120 and $300. How close was your guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees111 Posted April 30, 2017 #44 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Would you still be eligible for this promotion if the stateroom category you booked went up in price even if you are before final payment? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sure, but you'd have to pay the higher price and for us it was a wash because our balcony cabin went almost the amount of the OBC bonus so there was no point.

luvbeaches5 Posted May 2, 2017 #47 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Has anyone who booked with CAS tried to get the OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare deefer Posted May 2, 2017 #48 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Has anyone who booked with CAS tried to get the OBC? We very recently booked through CAS for a cruise on the Escape this August - phoned CAS and got the OBC credit added with no problem. As long as you are before final payment - you should have no issues getting this obc added whether you are with CAS or not. We also booked a cruise to Asia in 2018 (this cruise was booked quite awhile ago) - we could have gotten this obc perk added to this cruise too but passed because when we first booked this cruise one of the perks was "prepaid DSC" (daily service charge) - would have lost this perk as it is not currently being offered. Depending on when you booked, the obc may not be worth it. Just have to keep that in mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjquilts Posted May 2, 2017 Author #49 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The OBC (onboard credit) bonus for balcony and above promo ended yesterday. If I see the offer pop up again I'll start a new thread unless someone does it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
