PhillyTravelBug Posted May 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I’m sure a lot of you already received the email about the latitude bonus points promo ending soon. It seems that all of these promos are continuous, but do you think the two extra points per night promo is going to expire? I want to take advantage of this with a booking for the new Prima ship, but was hoping to wait a little bit. May just bite the bullet and book the damn thing.

You can always cancel later and get your deposit back. I've got ten cruises booked though 2024. Sure, it means NCL has $2500 of my money at zero interest. If I had that in the bank it would earn me something like a buck ninety-five in interest per year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get my deposit back when I rebooked my cruise. But it might be other rules here in EU? I think getting 48 points for a single cruise (16 day TA) was worth the money anyway since I get a huge jump to platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to get the 2 bonus points you have to sail. So if you want acquire those on a Prima Sailing, you have to expect the promotion will last til August 2022 at the earliest. I am not sure that will happen. I'm booked in January 2022 on the Joy and I don't think the promotion will be active then. I'd bet the promotion ends sometime this year (wouldn't surprise me if it ended after the first post COVID sailing). Just my 2 cents.

If you book now the prom is effective for the sailing you booked no matter how far out. I’m confused by what you are trying to say here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinster Posted May 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2021 You will earn the two bonus points if you booked when the promotion is on and you completed the cruise that you booked for the promotion. It doesn't matter if the cruise is next couple of months or two years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaScotiaGal52 Posted May 27, 2021 #12 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The promo is a lattitudes promo and usually they change every month. It might be extended but i would not count on it With cdc announcement today cruising is ramping up and people are booking like wild fire so they no longer need to have as enticing promos. Inexpect get 5 free for any cabin will end soon as well. We booked 3 cruises with triple points and will go from Plat to plat plus with just 3 sailings. Also..prima prices are already on the rise as she is top selling new ncl ship ever..so booking sooner is better Our cabin is up 600.00 each already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just did a chat on NCL, and the rep said you have to sail while the Promo is active, no sail, no points. Can you tell me where you are seeing that booking qualifies you? Edit: Ok, additional chat with NCL shows I was incorrect. If you book during the promotion and sail whenever, you get the points. The rep also said the promo was going to run to June 30, 2021. Sorry about the confusion. Edited May 27, 2021 by WarfRatWA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is true. The point I was trying to make is you can book out as far as 2023 and get the promo. You get the actual points after you sail. I have 4 cruises booked on this promo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come Monday they are offering 3x latitude points and ALL perks so I cancelled and rebooked. The only thing my PCC is unsure of is weather I will get my 10% of voucher back after the cancellation so I could be a small amount worse off is the don't let me have it back.

casofilia Posted May 27, 2021 #22 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This is a very uncommon promotion, I don't think I have seen it before. I have 3 cruises booked all with the promo LATDBLX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltsandknit Posted May 27, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It is unusual. They do 1 extra point often but usually on cruises that aren’t selling. This is on almost everything and 2 extra points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainWoody Posted May 27, 2021 #24 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I talked to NCL since my last post. The triple points promo will apply to new bookings through May 31, so some of you folks have 4 days to make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
