Not really a bad deal.....assuming you're willing to possibly lose yet another $150. Also....can it be used in conjunction with "Cruise Next"?

disneykins Posted November 5, 2020 #14 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This looks like its the same as a cruise next certificate. Their not selling CNs right now so they are doing these new certificates to keep that income flow coming in. I won't be buying since I have some CNs that I have to use first.

BoundForSea Posted November 6, 2020 #15 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Better off buying CruiseNext certs from other NCL clients of ebay. I do it frequently and no restrictions like this new program. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershep Posted November 14, 2020 #19 Share Posted November 14, 2020 It's just another way of getting your money now. Very similar to Cruise Next certs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted November 14, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I did buy a CruiseFirst certificate. Easy $300 deposit for $150 when I book our cruise in a few months for my DD's 50th birthday. I looked at it as instead of onboard credit I just keep it in my pocket now. It worked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruslvr81 Posted May 29, 2021 #25 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Thank for all the quick responses. I purchased it online and it came up immediately in my account. I got the verification email pretty quickly also. I then tried to book online and as usual NCL.com froze half way through. I called their phone number and was able to book room I wanted with no problem using my credit. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
