Computer Nerd Posted May 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Do you still get double points for booking 9 months or more out? How about if you book through a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted May 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2018 You don't get double points for booking early, however, you do get double points for booking a latitudes inside offer and if you book a suite. So, you could get triple if you book a suite on an inside offer cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they would honor a reservation made in Jan 2017 when the booking 9 or more months out gave you double points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure on your booking confirmation, the booking date shows Jan 2017 and make sure that date does not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you (booking date still show 04 Jan 2017 for our upcoming July 2018 POA cruise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracruises Posted May 13, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yes , I booked POA for next month in January 2017. Before the changes ,I would be going in as Platinum. Instead I will have to cruise first and with the double points will finally be platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLyonCruiser Posted May 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The double points for booking more than nine months out is long gone. We have not received double points since 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinarei Posted May 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) The double points for booking more than nine months out is long gone. We have not received double points since 2013. I received double points for booking 9+ months out on my July '16 cruise. We booked in May of '15 and ended up getting more points from that 7-day cruise than the 12-day cruise we did in '15 (when we rebooked at 6 months out to take advantage of a huge price drop). I'm sad to see the double points for booking early go, as we always seem to book more than a year out. ;) Edited May 13, 2018 by Lucinarei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceparty Posted May 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Booking a suite or a insider deal will give you double points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwalaska Posted May 13, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2018 That would be awesome. Thank you (booking date still show 04 Jan 2017 for our upcoming July 2018 POA cruise). If you would please post whether or not you received your double points when you get home and also if you had to follow up to get them? We booked Nov 2016 but we aren't going until next Feb. I don't plan ahead or anything. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esm54687 Posted May 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The double points for booking more than nine months out is long gone. We have not received double points since 2013.What may have happened to you was you made a change to the reservation (for example, if you saw a better promo and called to get it...... that would change your effective booking date and make you less than 9 months to cruise date...... I shot myself in the foot on several cruises trying to save $100 here and there and never put 2 and 2 together why my points weren't adding up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if the Insider Offer you booked an inside cabin and subsequently score a better cabin on the same ship and sailing don't let NCL deprive you of the double points. Simply file for a review and take it to the top front office of NCL if nothing is done on the first level of appeal. You should not be penalized for opting to a better cabin on the same insider offer sailing. I recently won a case - I know ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted May 14, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We got the 9-month double points for two cruise we booked before the change and sailed after. You were OK - it was the booking date that was the determining factor not the sailing date ! Wished I could have booked a whole bunch of sailings at that time but the budget only allowed one ! NCL sure tighten the Points program making it tougher to rapidly get to the next tier for its bennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicAUS Posted May 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I sailed in March last year and got the 9 months bonus points. I didn’t need to follow up. These were automatically added. Became silver after one cruise and will become gold after my TA. I think their points are generous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YVRBassElectric Posted May 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I booked Bliss TA in Jan 2017, got the extra points for booking early, automatically & in less than a week after sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaWBarmy Posted May 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I can only go from experience. As happened to us or rather my daughter. You will get the points for booking over 9 months out. Also your Latitudes tier level will be as it would have been if you'd had the points added at booking. We sailed on the Spirit for 10 nights in November 2017, we booked it November 2016 it was an insider deal when we booked. We got 30 points. Before cruising my daughter had 21 points which would be Bronze but she had already been grandfathered as Silver. She got the 30 points taking her to 51 which should have kept her at Silver under the new system BUT she was Gold because at the time of booking 51 points was enough for Gold. Hope this isn't too confusing. It's confused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
