Cruise Next Question/Help

[bjlaac]

Its been a few years since we sailed NCL but will be onboard in a few weeks.  It has always been our habit to purchase two Cruise Next certificates ($500) every time we sail.  The last time we did we received the two certificates and $250 onboard credit for the purchase of the certificates.  Typically we would use that $250 onboard credit and add another $250 to pay for the $500 cost.

 

I thought I read somewhere over the past year or so that NCL has stopped allowing the use of that onboard credit to pay for the $500 cruise next certificates.  This resulted in a new $500 charge onboard as well as $250 onboard credit that must be used for something else before disembarking.

 

Is that correct or did I mis read something?

That isn’t correct. Some people have got confused which may lead to the misunderstanding.

 

The change is that you can no longer use non refundable OBC for the purchase, but the OBC that you get (whilst that is non refundable) is specifically stated as being able to be used against the purchase.

That is not correct.  You still pay just $250.  You may have read that other non refundable OBC, like shareholder credit, can't be used
