jennjess Posted June 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have just cruised with NCL and in the app I saw my final bill which looked correct but more money has been taken from my credit card. Trying to find a copy of the final bill but the app does't show it anymore. Doesn't seem anyway to find it online. Will they send me a copy by email automatically or do I need to get them to send it to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwayfan1 Posted June 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2023 A copy was emailed to me automatically. It was time-stamped in the early hours of disembarkation morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallux Posted June 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I had the same confusion - NCL puts a hold on your payment method, to ensure you can cover the bill. The final bill charges at the end of the cruise but it is NOT a conversion of the hold so you may see what seem to be two charges. The hold should drop in a couple days, and this is why it's not a good idea to use a debit card for the on-board expenses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise lines often do “test” transactions that are to verify you have enough credit available as you make charges on the ship. After the cruise, they will fully process one transaction for the full, final amount. The other “test” transactions fall off/go away without ever getting processed. Eventually, they disappear. I’ve seen that take up to a week on my credit cards. Edited June 4, 2023 by MeHeartCruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to differentiate between authorizations and actual charges (which you will not see for several days). Throughout the cruise, NCL will run authorizations to ensure that you can pay your bill. In several days, you will see the actual charge posted. Normally on the afternoon of disembarkation, you will get a final bill in email, so long as you requested it. wrt authorizations, your bank, not NCL determines how long they tie up your credit. Usually hang around about a week for us. Edited June 4, 2023 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennjess Posted June 5, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I think all of the reserved amounts have been removed now, but the amounts actually taken do not correspond with the final bill I saw on the app. I wish there was a way to see that again. If there was a way to have them email me the bill then I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwayfan1 Posted June 5, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I just checked the disembarkation instructions from last week (still in my handbag!!!). They state that, if a passenger requested an e-mail copy (either at pre-registration or via the app on board), they will get their final statement that way. For any passengers who did not make that request, a paper copy of the final statement would be delivered to cabins by 4am on the morning of disembarkation.

Well I didn't get a final statement delivered to my cabin or an emailed one and can't see the one in the app anymore either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that app stopped working at the stroke of midnight!!! I know you have probably done this, but check email spam/junk folder..? It amazes me what important documents randomly end up in mine. If not, then I guess NCL have overlooked this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange that you can't look up a former cruise either online or in the app. I've requested a copy of the bill via the contact page online. Let's see what happens.

hallux Posted June 5, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The email comes from noreply, they don't have the name on the email account configured properly so it may get moved to spam or junk as suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not in any spam box as I've checked. Just wasn't sent out it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asawi Posted June 5, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I am 100% sure I never got an email with my bill from my cruise a few weeks ago even though I had registered for one. And yes I have checked spam folder! I did however check the account on the last evening and it looked fine and it was the right amount that was taken from my credit card so I didn't bother trying to find my bill. I do find it very odd that it's not in Cruise history or My account though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crdtrnr Posted June 5, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I always go to gs on the last night and get a paper print out of my statement..and look it over. It is easier to catch and correct errors before the last morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reserved amounts have come off but the actual billed amount does not correspond with the bill I saw. Needless to say it is higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
