Tier benefits

[Cozmic206]

I just read the tier benefits. Bronze level says a bottle of champagne per stateroom. Is this true? Do you have to sail at least 1 cruise with NCL to receive benefits or will they give you this on your first cruise with them?

Reward points are awarded at the end of a cruise.

It's Sparkling Wine, not Champagne and trust me...it's nothing to get excited about. ;p

You are only Bronze when you return to NCL for your second cruise. Latitudes points are awarded after you complete a cruise, so during your first cruise, you have 0 points (which is not enough for Bronze).

 

You will not receive the sparkling wine on your first cruise. But if you ask around I'm pretty sure you can find someone who will give you theirs.

About the only thing that "champagne" is good for is to get some orange juice and make Mimosas.

Latitudes is a loyalty rewards program. You "earn"points. You just aren't there yet. After one cruise you can enjoy a complementary bottle of mediocre sparkling wine.

We had a great time on my last cruise taking the bottle of sparkling wine to the main dining room for breakfast and asking the server to make us mimosas with the bubbly. We had too much sparkling wine for our table alone, so we started offering mimosas to people at the nearby tables that we had spoken to. We made a lot of friends that morning. :D

 

P.S. We made sure the server got a nice tip!

If you bought a bottle of the stuff it may cost you a few bucks.. but we usually snitch some OJ from the buffet and head to the room for mimosas!!! YUMM!

We always just leave ours behind for the next guests (crew are not allowed to take abandoned bottles). Sometimes 2 or 3 bottles.

The bottles will not be given to the next guests in your stateroom. They will be recycled back into the existing inventory.

We take our free bottle out with us. We walk around and when we see somebody with the yellow/orange/brown cruise card (aka NCL Newbie) we give the bottle to them. They get surprised with our gesture .... but wait until ..... :cool::halo::confused:

Which is a fancy way of saying that it will go to the next guest.

I didn't know the crew couldn't take it - we left ours for our steward on our last cruise... thought we were doing something nice.

[Zippeedee]

I gave mine to the young couple next door. We would chat between balconies watching pier runners. They were thrilled.

unlike other cruise lines, Norwegian cruise card color is completely random. the color on the card does not mean anything. I have received cruise cards in various colors. Teal, Blue, Yellow, etc, etc

This is not exactly true. Haven And suite cards are different colors and recognizable.

Not strictly true. The Yellow/Brown cards have the words Welcome to Norwegian Cruise Lines or something very similar. The Teal/Greeny Blue cards have Welcome BACK to Norwegian Cruise Lines on them. I think the Purple cards are for Haven/Suites etc.

Correct.

 

We also make sure the card is missing the Latitude line. ;p

Not anymore. We used to have random coloured card, but they stopped that a few years ago. Now it's about 3-4.

I either use it for mimosas or wait until I'm drunk enough to not care about the taste or quality!

Now THIS is the perfect reply to the OP. TRUTH WINS.
