amisup Posted February 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have a booking on NCL via an agent but at time of booking it was same price as NCL website. Now I see for the same date for same room type the price is $200 cheaper on Expedia plus Expedia is offering better promotions. Will NCL price match Expedia. Escp since we have 6 rooms booked ?

The NCL price match does not apply in the situation you described. If you are outside final payment, cancel your cruise and rebook. If you are inside final payment, enjoy your cruise.

myjillian Posted February 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Ask your TA to price check for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted February 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Expedia might have a group discount rate so they can offer better pricing and expedia will pay for any additional onboard credits that NCL is not providing. this is something NCL will not honor in a price match.

amisup Posted February 15, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thank you everyone. My TA said the same. After looking into it further I realized - I noticed Expedia offered unlimited drinks and bumped up the price and in end Expedia was only 20$ cheaper.

Rare ziggyuk Posted February 15, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have a similar question.... If I see a good price in a TA can I call NCL and book direct asking NCL to match the lower price? I would guess it would be in NCL's interest to have me come direct but do they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. that TA might have a group booking which can reduce the price. NCL does not honor group pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trex-de Posted February 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I had been working with a NCL consultant for several cruises. Recently, NCL online has been higher in price than other sites. I called to book and she could not match. I was very transparent; she seemed to have been given no flexibility from NCL. I booked on Expedia. We saved nearly $300 for the room. Received a $75 OBC (not offered with NCL) for an inside stateroom and the same promotion given by NCL. It’s kinda crazy. Unfortunately NCL seems to put their employees in a no win situation. I’m booked. Sorry Melissa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazy, you would think NCL would be happy to price match if the TA is doing it for less, the TA is still making a profit at NCL's expense. If I call and give them the option: I book with you or TA, it's your choice, it should be a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
