robinbtigger Posted March 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2023 From what I've read, the NCL website only shows a some of the cabins that are actually available. If I called NCL itself and talked to a rep, would they be able to see cabins that don't show up for me on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davencl Posted March 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2023 You can also go to a website the consolidates cruises. CC doesn't allow linking such sites but a google search should help you find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that one can only see a few cabins often gives people the wrong idea about whether a cruise is selling out or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did already book with a TA and selected a cabin I saw on the NCL website but I would prefer a cabin a little closer to the elevator if possible. FWIW, I've looked at a number of other consolidator websites for cabin availability and NCL itself seems to show the largest number of cabins. I asked the question for when I'm planning my next cruise. I would book with the NCL agent and then transfer the reservation to a TA to get OBC, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a deluxe haven cabin that connected to a haven penthouse. The penthouse did not show as available but my TA could see it as available. I think NCL only wanted to rent the penthouse along with the owners suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel agents use the same booking system NCL representatives use. I suppose there are probably outliers, but I've always used NCL's booking system.

Rare mking8288 Posted March 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Short answer, yes for NCL reps. One of the nieces booked the Prima last month for April's Spring break week with a preferred deck/location ... Haven is currently listed as sold out and balconies are GTY only, her in-laws decided this weekend to go & join the rest of them - agent at NCL was able to find another balcony, adjacent to hers !! (wow) so now, they have at least 4 reservations linked together - generated a mock booking with all the amenties, add-ons and optional items, etc. on the printout. Reviewed it for her with my comments and now done, from with a call-in this morning & done before lunch time. Prices dipped this weekend but up back to what it was last week/month - and, they know full well & advised them the sailing at 115% to 120% above double occupancies. Triple points earned "LATDBLX" coded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
