LANCruise423 Posted March 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Cruise Next offer on Norwegian was very misleading. They practically shove it down your throat to purchase while on the boat, but neglect to review the fine print. Apparently, in order to use the $250 plus the $250 matched coupon, a cruise must be booked at least 6 months in advance and it must be a balcony room or higher. I didn't recall hearing that from the person who sold it, nor was that on the million in one flyers they post throughout the ship and leave in your stateroom. So, be aware if you cruise on Norwegian and purchase the Cruise Next offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizdiz Posted March 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2018 This is completely false information. I less than 2 weeks ago used a cruise next certificate for a cruise this June in an inside cabin. I could of also used it in a studio.You can now even use 2 certificates at times if you book 6 months advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted March 12, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Balcony or higher? Not true, I recently used one on a studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCruise423 Posted March 12, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I thought I could use both coupons, the $250 I purchased and the $250 that was given by Norwegian on any cruise. But that was incorrect. In order to use the total ($500) it has to be up to 6 months in advance and balcony or higher. I was not told that when I purchased the Cruise Next deposit, but now I know.

LANCruise423 Posted March 12, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted March 12, 2018 But they did let me use the $250 - that was it. I booked for a cruise in May and inside state room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you both misunderstood OP. They are saying in order to use both certificates you have to book a balcony or above at least 6 months in advance, which is true. OP, sorry the NextCruise person did not disclose this information to you. FWIW the one on the Pearl mentioned this policy twice in our 5 minute discussion because she wanted to make sure I knew what I was purchasing.

trivimp Posted March 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well, yeah. You bought two certificates. You're supposed to use them to book two cruises. NCL occasionally runs specials where you can use two certificates for the same booking -- as you say, they seem to be running one now for cruises booked at least six months out -- but that's the exception, not the rule. Enjoy your second cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfaaa Posted March 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2018 You didn't bother to read the fine print when it was provided to you in writing? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby0215 Posted March 13, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It is not $250 plus a matched $250. It is two separate certificates. Sometimes they run a promo where you can use two certs on one booking but not always. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted March 13, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The rule about using two certificates on a balcony or above six months in advance was mentioned at least twice on the CruiseNext video shown in all cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted March 13, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We bought 4 CruiseNext certificates ($1000, then $500 back in credit) on the Escape last week and the young lady was very upfront about the limitations. 6 months in advance, 4 years to use, balcony or higher. Sorry to hear that you were not explicitly told those limits :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, be aware if you cruise on Norwegian and purchase the Cruise Next offer. The terms and conditions are very clear. And I don't know anyone who would drop $500 bucks without a clear understanding of what they are buying. We always buy cruise next certificate and find them great value for money. If you are planning future cruises, you should buy at least 2 to get the maximum discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
