reeinaz Posted March 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I still had the points from a cancelled cruise from April 2020 on my account. They just got removed. So I'm back to zero as that was to have been my 1st NCL cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitan Obvious Posted March 19, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2021 And everyone on a public forum needs to know this detail of an individual's latitudes account why exactly? 🤔 oversharingnoun the disclosure of an inappropriate amount of detail about one's personal life. "oversharing has become commonplace thanks to social media" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksv Posted March 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Mine were removed too. Thought it was a nice gesture by NCL and was surprised to see them removed a year later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted March 19, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Aw darn. I had hoped those would be like a consolation prize for having my cruises canceled. I was set to sail solo on March 15 of last year which would have put me to Platinum and then my SO was going to join me the following week, on March 22nd so we could sail together and enjoy my Platinum status. Alas, none of that happened. The cruises we cancelled on March 13 and when I saw the points still awarded to my account, I had hoped that was one of the "perks" of cancelation along with the FCC. Should have known better! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have known better! Agreed. I thought they would keep those reward points for any cancelled cruise booked PRIOR to the shutdown as long as it was paid in full and you accepted those original FCC's. It would have been a nice gesture, something that honestly costs NCL nothing of significance, and only helps build loyalty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jskinsd Posted March 19, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I wonder why? Starting a thread way back when and discussing how you received FREE points on a cruise that you never completed. Once again, cruisers hoping and wishing and praying for compassion from the cruise industry. Lets get the schools open before we all cruise and accumulate points again.✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a nice gesture for them to just leave them, especially those that had their cruise cancelled 1-2 days before they were supposed to sail. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiem Posted March 20, 2021 #13 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Mine have been removed too (cancelled March 2020 sailing) but I'm still showing as silver with only 21 points? Shouldn't I only have that at 25 points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted March 20, 2021 #14 Share Posted March 20, 2021 it's amazing that people are still posting about this topic. while i'm not an ncl cheerleader, or defender, you get awarded the points AFTER you get back from the cruise. that's when they are added to your latitudes account. while i cant fault you for thinking it would be a "nice" gesture to have ncl let you keep them, you didnt earn them,you were not entitled to them, and it was a mistake. in effect you lost nothing, just returned to your former, current level. so please stop complaining about a non-issue. oh by the way, there isnt a great deal of difference between platinum and platinum+ im sure i'll probably be d**ned by a bunch of you, but really you all have nothing to complain about (at least on this subject) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to school Posted March 21, 2021 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Because it’s a joke Latitudes, “you didnt earn them, you were not entitled to them, and it was a mistake.” Where is the value? Close for nothing for NCL “loyalty”. Pledge pin credential. Yes, I’m going to complain! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted March 21, 2021 #17 Share Posted March 21, 2021 what do you really have to complain about? i dont know about you, but i choose the cruise line based on itinerary, price and time of sailing. the latitudes program is nice to have, but to me its completely irrelevant. if you could book a really nice cabin at a decent price from/ to ports you wish to see, wouldnt you do it, regardless of a "point" system. sure, it's nice to have a bottle of wine waiting for you in the cabin, or a free bag of laundry, but would the lack of these really keep you from booking? go on, COMPLAIN if you must, but ncl owes you nothing but a nice vacation consistent with what you paid for. what value are you looking for. you get a nice room, good food, great atmosphere, shows, and still you want to b***h because ncl took away points you werent entitled to anyway. as a good friend of mine once said "you'd probably complain if you were hung with a new rope sorry, your argument holds absolutely "0" merit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't I only have that at 25 points? I believe silver is above 30 latitudes points and I don’t think they have changed the points system recently. However in the past when they have changed the minimum points level for a tier that you are already in, that would have dropped you to a lower one they have historically “Grandfathered” you into that higher level. I would guess that it may just be a possibility that as you had achieved silver status before they removed your points they may have done the same and left you there.😄 Or...They just haven’t got around to knocking you back to Bronze yet.😥 Edited March 21, 2021 by Stevio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I don't see this post as complaining, just a few statements of fact and some wishful thinking. I don't make a habit of checking my point status, so wouldn't have known that they did eventually remove the points from cancelled cruises. Not that my points mattered that much as I was already platinum, the extra points would have put me platinum +. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you spend over £100 on a UK credit card for full protection (just in case they go bust) & if they or you cancel they should just refund back to your card (as they did with my previous cruise). When booking online any 10% should appear just before the checkout page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you quote me a post on this thread that could be described as "complaining"? The OP just stated a fact with no further commentary. A few other people expressed some disappointment. I have seen no posts that rise to the level of "complaining" in this thread. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
