Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted June 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2023 We have a sailing in 280 days. I have only paid $500 towards this booking. The NCL cancelation policy only starts talking about cancellations starting at 119 days (25%). Should we decide to cancel...what happens to those funds?

If you booked in the US and your travel agent doesn’t have any restrictions, you get your money back. You cancel and funds will be returned to your original form of payment. (Credit card, debit card, cruise next certificate). Edited June 26, 2023 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted June 26, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 26, 2023 No TA...booked direct. How long does this type of refund typically take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira28 Posted June 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) They say it can be 10 business days back to the credit card. In the past year when I have cancelled I've received the refund within 4 or 5 days. Edited June 26, 2023 by Mira28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cancel 120 days out with no penalty, any deposit goes back to original form of payment. Last March I had to cancel one of my cruises, the refund went back to my Amex within 48 hrs.

schmoopie17 Posted June 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2023 That's one of the huge advantages to booking with NCL. Other cruise lines (Carnival, etc.) have non-refundable deposits...or they will give you a FCC for your deposit minus an "administrative fee"...whatever that is. We recently canceled a Carnival cruise that had a $100 deposit. They charged $50 p/p as an administrative fee, which ate up our entire deposit.

dmbcanada Posted June 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I have to cancel my cruise due to some unforeseen expenses, we unknowingly purchased a cruisefirst certificate to put down the deposit. We need the money back, will NCL give cash back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
