caddykid12 Posted February 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Can this only be used booking an excursion at the desk on board Only to have the 50$ applied or can I book it on myNCL too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfsh Posted February 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you have the Shore Excursion Credits, do not book online. Call 866-625-1167 and you will be billed on board and get the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted February 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Terms and Conditions: $50 Per Port Shore Excursion Credit: $50 USD per port shore excursion credit is per stateroom. Credit has no monetary value and is nonrefundable. In the event a port of call or excursion is missed, for any reason, no refund or credit will be issued. Shore excursion credit is applicable for each port, including debarkation port, and is not transferable to other ports. Use the credit or lose it. Does not include embarkation ports. Overnight stays count as one port, except Bermuda sailings which can receive up to 3 individual days of shore excursion credit. Shore excursion credit can only be redeemed by calling 1-866-625-1167 or booking onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted February 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Remember, as stated above, that the $50 is per cabin not per person and is only credited to your folio AFTER the shorex has been taken. Also only 1 per port (except Bermuda) if there is an overnight there. There is a possibility that the $50 MAY be credited to your folio IF you have paid online but, if it is, the $50 will be NON-REFUNDABLE OBC and you will have to spend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizDemeanor Posted February 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I had a similar thread started about this topic as well but I had already booked excursions and later upgraded to receive this promotion. Because it seems you have not booked your excursions yet, my suggestion is to call that shoreex 1167 number and book now with them if you want to be sure you have an excursion you want settled as booked rather than wait to get on Board. They will be able to reassure you that you have what you want booked and how the credit application will work for your situation.

casofilia Posted February 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you phone tell them you want to RESERVE the shorex. When you have finished you will get a Confirmation with no price showing but with all the other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdzkatz Posted February 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Does anyone know if only one person does an excursion does the entire $50 discount apply to their excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted February 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Does anyone know if only one person does an excursion does the entire $50 discount apply to their excursion? Yes, I had this promo for my last cruise, sailed solo so got the full discount, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddykid12 Posted February 14, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So if i call?.... I pay in full? Then get a 50$ obc? Is what i gathered I rather call prior and book excursions so all the good ones are not sold out on board As this is a 14 day to jamica gsc Orlando grand cayman cozumel costa maya and harvest caye I domt want OBC i want 50$ off my excursion so if i buy a tour for 2 in jamicia at 49.99 per. I only wanna pay $49.98 total. Not pay in full! Then get 50$ back OBC to then be forced to use it on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfsh Posted February 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you call, you don't pay until you board. You can reserve by calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted February 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Does anyone know if only one person does an excursion does the entire $50 discount apply to their excursion? The $50 is per cabin so if only one person in a cabin does a shorex that day there will still be a maximum of $50 credited to the "cabin account' assuming everyone in the cabin is on the account.

casofilia Posted February 14, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I rather call prior It is by far the best way to do it. Ask to RESERVE places on the shorex. Then you don't pay up front and the cost is only applied to your folio on board. When you have done the shorex the $50 is credited to your account. In what you have posted you will then be left with a balance for that shorex of $49.98. Debit $99.98; Credit $50.00; Balance $49.98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you are understanding and comfortable with what you are being told by shore ex It can be a bit confusing.

See post #3. I have called shoreex three times on this topic based on my circumstances. The 50 dollars will be a refundable credit to me if I don’t use it while on board I likely will use it however.

Debit $99.98; Credit $50.00; Balance $49.98 This is a 14 day cruise with 7 ports i do NOT want the bill on my folio and have a balance of 49.98$ per day TIMES 7 days tying up valuable money on my credit card folio. That's 380$ in nonsense charges on my account onboard that i dont want on such credit card. I always pre pay excursions. And i don' wamma keep switching cards on board.

casofilia Posted February 15, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2018 caddykid12 If you have paid for your 7 shorex prior to boarding then after you have done the shorex at each port you will get a credit on your folio of $50. So you will finish up with $350 credit on your folio. As in post #3 "Credit has no monetary value and is nonrefundable". To me that means that it has to be spent on board.

willsears94 Posted February 15, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2018 When I called ShoreX today, they assured me that the prior ShoreX that I booked would be refunded to me via a check sent to me in the mail if the credit were unused during the trip. This seems reasonable as if it didn't, I would just cancel the booked ShoreX and re-book as to have it applied as a credit against the debit of the ShoreX. For those concerned, this may be the best resolution to your apprehension. Interpretation of the T&C is best assured by calling ShoreX, not by self-interpretation of the T&Cs as they often are not contextualized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if i buy prior on my debit card as I always do. I can pay in full prior to boarding as normal. Then after each port i would get 50$ obc once I'm back on board after each port?

casofilia Posted February 15, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2018 cadykid12 That is the situation. However the real point of "conflict" is whether it will be as refundable or non-refundable OBC. It appears that Miami is saying it will be refundable; I only hope that those on-board who are doing the paperwork are "on the same page". Phone them and if Miami tells you that it will be refundable I would make sure to get that in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ship excursion, then no credit towards one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
