ColinIllinois Posted September 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2017 They do have gift cards but I don't know about the 10% off. https://www.ncl.com/giftcard/faq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted September 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Are you talking about prepaid OBC or Gift Cards to give to somebody. If you are giving them to somebody, I hope they are really go to travel with NCL. Somebody gave us Carnival Gift Certs a few years ago at work. Never used them and they expired. Should have sold them on ebay or something. But... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweets2323 Posted September 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted September 4, 2017 There are places where we can buy carnival and royal gift cards@ 10% off. Example buying. $500 gift card for $400. That's how I normally pay for my cruises. I've. Never seen any for NCL, so I was curious to know if there are companies that did the same: Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted September 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Ah, I think you are talking about people that resell gift cards. Very handy way to do lots of shopping. grannys gift cards is a good one for finding cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweets2323 Posted September 4, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted September 4, 2017 AAA and other big organizations sell them Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regguy Posted September 4, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It is very hard to find discounted NCL gift cards. It's not like Carnival and Disney, where if you know your way around travel hacking, you can easily save 15 to 20 percent by accumulating gift cards. NCL, like Royal Caribbean, just doesn't play that game. But both do occasionally have discounts through Amex offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted September 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You can get some savings by buying NCL Future Cruise Certificates on eBay. You need to already have a Latitudes account set up so they can transfer the credit to your NCL account, and then you can still only apply 1 (maybe 2) per cruise.

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted September 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Based on my research, Carnival offers the best discount gift cards (10%) with the least restrictions. as they can be used for booking, obc, all pre-cruise purchases, they can even be used on the ship. Royal gift cards can also be easily purchased for 10% off, BUT, Royal attaches a boat load (pun intended) of stipulations to their discount cards. If you know you are going to book, purchasing $1000 in gift cards for $900.00 starts to add up in savings. I have yet to find any discount cards for NCL :(.

sweets2323 Posted September 4, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Buying a $500 card for $400 is NOT 10% off. Sorry, meant $450 for a card that's $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal and carnival both have ten percent of cards through all state rewards and AARP rewards for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imacruiser99 Posted August 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I personally have never seen discounted gift cards (not cruise certs, future cruise certs, etc) for NCL. AARP has discounts for Carnival and RCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty22 Posted August 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I received a NCL gift card for my birthday. It was for $25.00 and not discounted. I already used it for our upcoming cruise in December. I gave our travel agent the number on it and she used it like "cash" subtracting that to the price of our cruise. Every bit helps!

AKR2011 Posted August 18, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Never seen them discounted, but I do receive them from family as gifts sometimes. They do decrease in value over time, so keep that in mind. I signed up for alerts on the Granny Giftcards site years ago and have never once received an email telling me that NCL cards are available. It's worth a try, but don't count on it 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
