Booking cruises..

[Traveller20074]

when I go to the NCL website, I can only book cruises through 2023.  don't they go out further?  I want to look at them in 2024.

 

I want the free at sea offers, but can't sail till 2024 🙂

The dates go out to 2025. When you click on dates you need to click on the arrow on the right of 2023...it then takes you to 2024 & 2025.

Free at sea has been around for years. There is no sign that it is going away. I wouldn't rush to book because of that.

Well, it can't hurt to book.  Loaning NCL $250 for a year or two won't break the bank for most folks.

True, although my opinion is swayed a bit by the fact that it wouldn't just be a loan for me.

 

There are many reasons to book early, but free at sea isn't one of them (although there is still some scope for the offers to be reduced I suppose)

Yep.  I stand corrected.  I forgot that outside of the USA, deposits are sometimes not refundable.  My bad.

Not corrected. Your answer was more correct than mine.

We always book as soon as we find cruises that we want to do no matter how far out.   Then we are able to re-fare if the price drops and smile if it rises.

We booked our first 2024 cruise months ago.

We booked an Alaska cruise on March 1st for a May 2024 cruise. Already had a $400.00 price reduction  and reprice with no problem.

HMMM  why does it say this on my ncl page?   

 

YOU HAVE UNUSED FUTURE CRUISE CREDITS.Book Any Stateroom on Any Sailing through 2022.

[Traveller20074]

I am not finding an arrow where I can scroll through to other years.

 

it scrolls down and only goes through 2023. 

 

guess I'll chat or call with them.  I want to cruise in 2024....

Because you probably have a credit which will expire by the end of 2022.

 

I get this message as I have a 10% off credit due to a cancelled cruise. I have heard people say that they have received this message/emails about it despite not having any credits, but it could be that they are just unaware of them.

 

You can still book any cruise that is available, you just wouldn’t be able to use this credit against them (if the credit does exist) if they are for 2023/24.

There are cruises available in 2024, I have my eye on several. Are you setting other restrictions such as a specific month or specific destination? Not all cruises sail in all parts of the world at all times of the year. As stated above, hit the arrow and you'll see 2024 and 2025. (Although 2025 is only for the Pride of America)

I booked 2024 to Alaska.
