Rare Peachypooh Posted March 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Norwegian cancelled a couple of our shore excursions so we were owed about $400 back. We were disembarking on a Sunday so on Friday I saw the line was short so I went to ask for the money. They said they won't give it back until the last full day(Saturday). I explained that I physically cannot stand in line for very long and if I wait until the last day that is what will happen. The manager overheard me and said that look for him on Saturday and he will handle it. I had no confidence that would happen but it might have. My husband took pity on me and got up at 5:30 on Saturday and got it handled. So...either get up early or if you are a senior citizen like me look for the manager if the line is too long. This was on the Getaway. Edited March 14, 2023 by Peachypooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted March 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Much easier on the Gem last month. Just went over to the Finance desk at Guest Services before the last day and got the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted March 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2023 on disembarkation day they have a makeshift cashier desk near the gangway to cash out your account. saving you the trip from going to guest services and that line is much shorter and quicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PistolPete13 Posted March 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) I was on this sailing and what I found out from @mking8288 is that the Guest Services desk is usually staffed 24 hrs. So early Friday morning (which is technically the last full day of the cruise) I stopped by around 7AM and there was no one on line and two agents at the desk.

Between juggling my bags and documents to disembark, last thing I want is to be trying to stuff a wad of cash in my underware / socks to hide it because the next stop is the mean streets of NYC! 🙂 Edited March 14, 2023 by PistolPete13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted March 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I have used the casino before to cash out OBC by getting chips then turning them back in after a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Belly Posted March 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2023 It would so much easier if they would just apply it to the CC on file🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excursions were booked months in advance and possibly charged to different card than the one used for the On Board account. It is a lot easier to charge on a credit card than to apply refunds to credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it's the same process as returning something at a retail store where they credit the CC used, usually done in 30 seconds or less. Even if it's a different CC, at least you get your refund without standing in line, which could be long.
