Future cruise certificates

[tartantiara]

I bought 4 FCC on my last cruise and now I can’t remember how many you can use at one time. I seem to recall something about doubling them up but not sure when or why you are able to do this. Sorry if this has been asked before but I am not a frequent NCL cruiser so do not read these boards so much. TIA for any information that I am given

Usually you can use one cruise next voucher per booking, but sometimes NCL have special offers where you can use two CruiseNext vouchers. Right now this is the offer:

Yes you can use one certificate as a deposit for an inside cabin. That is what they are for. @ggTexasGal said no, but she must have missed that you were asking about one certificate.

 You are correct, I was thinking two cannot be used for an inside.  @di T my apologies!😮

@CaptainBazz, Thank you!😬

Hmmm, NCL has extended the CruiseNext Double Up promo by a month plus, originally, it was a year-end only special, set to expire right after the New Year ... LOL, then extended thru Feb. 6th and valid for ANY staterooms, not limited to balcony & up, etc.  This is the new avenue for NCL to bump up their bookings, along with the double, triple points promotion being run concurrently, to fill up their ships this Spring.  

 

If you have a current booking in your MyNCL system, already applied or use 1 Deposit, it wouldn't hurt to try - check it yourself and see if you can add a 2nd. Deposit (thus, $500 worth of CND instead $250) ... even if it is an Oceanview or Inside.  Caution - this might not work,  Friends of ours on a CAS booking has a Fall cruise for an Inside and he just did this successfully over the weekend.  Currently, they are Platinum tiered but won't take long to reach Sapphire behind us with 3x points.  Maybe, the flood gate was left open or perhaps, someone in I.T. or accounting said to just keep it & don't shut the rest out.  

 

Good luck & do share if able to apply it for Insides & Oceanviews.

Despite that, I applied two to an inside a few days ago.

If you read the T&C of the offer for which you are offering your "despite that", you will see that the offer only started YESTERDAY...thus if you booked, as you say, "a few days ago", then you booked under a different offer...not this one.

The T&Cs read exactly the same when I used mine.  Have you tried to use two on an inside under today's offer?

Irrelevant as today's offer only started yesterday, it was NOT in effect "a few days ago" when you said you booked.

 

The real question to answer is where YOU able to apply two to an inside cabin either yesterday or today?

There you go again....  Did you miss the part where I said that the T&Cs are exactly the same as when I booked?  It was obviously a rhetorical question to help those who are ready to book understand that the T&Cs may not be accurate.  You are trying to help your fellow cruisers, right?

Nice try, but the comment I addressed (post 10) was not a rhetorical question, but a statement. I do get that you simply can't/won't admit that your comment was made mute by the fact that you missed the booking dates statement though. The T&C in this case were accurate, you failed by trying to conflate your comment to T&Cs that had changed since.

No, but the post of mine that you quoted contained the rhetorical question.  I didn't miss the dates.  The T&Cs have remained the same throughout.  Why do you think that the T&Cs are accurate now when they weren't a week ago?  Do you really think that NCL is 100% accurate all the time on everything they publish???

Distraction does not work, but you know that and try anyway.

 

The post of yours that I quoted (post #9) does NOT contain a question...rhetorical or otherwise. Sorry, it is a statement, not a question....unless you are admitting to not knowing how to use punctuation.

 

The terms NOW are accurate NOW, the terms prior were accurate prior. You tried to make a comment on T&Cs that only changed yesterday with a comment about the T&Cs before yesterday. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it...we can plainly see it. The booking window in the T&C you commented on only opened yesterday, yet your comment is based on "a few days ago". You clearly got confused, just take the L and move on as your never going to convince me or anyone else otherwise.

Ok looks like I could buy a future cruise credit on my cruise in 2 weeks time, for a cruise in say 2yrs time

I asked the rhetorical question in post 11 and you quoted it in post 12.

Slow down Cowboy.  The terms were not accurate on Sunday when I applied two CNs to an existing, inside cabin booking.  The terms have not changed, so are likely not accurate now either.  Hence, the rhetorical question.  If you're not currently applying CNs, why are you so worked up over this?

Hi Tia.  Actually you bougt CN (Cruise Next) vouchers.  FCC is an entirely different animal and you can't buy it (except for someone else who has FCC and can't use it).

No, this discussion started with post #9...I'm not interested in your defection attempt in post 11...it was not a rhetorical question, but a lie designed to detract from your error in not realizing you were talking about a different set of T&Cs.

Then please post these allegedly inaccurate terms from Sunday...or, as you know, it didn't happen. 

 

BTW...the terms DID change and it is yet another lie to claim that they did not. The booking window in the terms you quoted only started on Feb 6th, so they weren't in effect on Sunday (Feb 5th).

That is pretty much standard for using CN vouchers.  The terms say one per cabin but there is almost always a 'special'; where you can use two.  On occasion you can even use three.
