Prepay service charges posted

$2475 for service charges for a 7 day cruise? I have prepaid drink & food service charges already so this is on top of that. I don’t understand.

How many in your party? This seems pretty steep.

It states $173 a day, which is where the problem is.

 

Clearly an error.

Yea, you're right, I guess I was just stunned by the amount, LOL. "You want me to pay what!!??"

 

Seems a little hefty... $315 > 2425...

Is this one of the cruises with a ship change? When they switched Alaska cruises from Bliss to Encore there were some really strange charges like that. They did get straightened out within about a week. Maybe check with NCL to see what they say about it.

No, it’s got to be a mistake, I’m hoping. Everything has gone to hell since I downgraded my cabin from mini suite to balcony. I’ll call today but I was on the phone with them for over an hour yesterday. I must have a new agent. They had my son’s info in the booking instead of my husband. And I also added a deviation. I thought doing it all at one time it would be efficient.

I would assume it would be around $175 each for the whole cruise?

So, on my next cruise in May, I'm in a balcony and this is what myNCL Pre Pay Service charges:

 

The convenience of pre-paying service charges allows you to plan your budget prior to your cruise giving you additional freedom while on board. A discretionary charge of $15.00 USD per person per day for all guests 3 years or older will automatically be added to your onboard account. Your service charges will total $105.00 USD for all guests, for your entire cruise. Guests sailing to Hawaii will be charged an additional 4.275% Pre Paid Service Charge GET Tax

 

Even if NCL has increased the DSC a bit, it wouldn't be that high.

It is $217 total for my wife and I on our Jade cruise leaving in July, so yours should be the same.

[stephensfamily5]

We have a balcony on the same sailing as you, and James is correct- the service charge is $217 for 2 people for the cruise.  

[LADinCT]

I’ve called & left a message with the agent 3 times. I’ll call again after the holiday. 

[victory2020]

Does it include the bar & specialty dining gratuities perhaps?

[OZ.]

Guess NCL is trying to recoup some money any way they can. Seriously it’s a mistake.

[LADinCT]

Yes, $2K is def a mistake & cruise price has another strange $1800 charge above & beyond. I downgraded from “club suite” to balcony & apparently it caused a ton of problems. I was on hold for an hour & this is the result. It was a $600 difference that I thought I’d use for more specialty dining & spa passes.
