Scoop_MSU Posted August 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2008 So, I'm strolling down memory lane by reading the dailys posted by alaskacruiselvr from a May trip to Alaska on the Pearl in another thread when I spotted on page 2 of day one the following: "Deposit $250 today towards another cruise with NCL within the next 2 1/2 years and as bonus get $100 credit on your current onboard account to spend this cruise. Plus, one lucky winner will enjoy dinner and wine for two in Le Bistro. Se the Cruise Consultant for more details. Time: 6:00pm-8:00pm." Did I miss something?? Thought you had to use the future cruise credit within one (1) year? Is this new or something specific to the Pearl and/or this particular cruise?

weloverunning Posted August 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2008 We purchased one on the Pearl in November. It states "Don't forget to book your next cruise within 12 months and complete your cruise within 30 months from purchase" So....we booked one within 3 months and are traveling within 11 months :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchdiva Posted August 8, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2008 We purchased ours on the Dawn 6/08. Within 10 days of getting home, we had our next cruise booked/deposited! It's a super deal and you really can't beat it - especially loved the instant $100 OBC:) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop_MSU Posted August 8, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thanks - figured it was something simple like that. Guess I get to use my NCL mastercard again next April. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENGINEER Posted August 8, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Well worth the money. We bought ours on the Dawn in February. Booked in July for a December romp in the Caribbean. The $100.00 credit came right off the bottom line of our bill when we checked out. I'll buy another one when on the Spirit. It will be my Christmas present to ME..... engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grfennell Posted August 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just used mine to book a cruise on the Spirit in January 2010. I liked the fact that I didn't need any deposit as the $250 was applied to it instead if the usual $500 deposit. I have until Nov 2009 for final pay.

cruizinwithkids Posted August 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just got one and I'm having a great time figuring out how I will use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieinWA Posted August 9, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yes it's a great deal and along with using the NCL credit card I can take a cruise next year for free. The $100.00 on board credit is wonderful! Happy sails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welove2cruise232 Posted August 9, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I just got one and I'm having a great time figuring out how I will use it. Hmmm, what ARE you doing with that??? Wanna come on the Dream with us? 10/26 last cruise from Boston to BDA on the Dream!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted August 9, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2008 For example, I purchase this option on our upcoming cruise. I use the certificate for a cabin deposit for DH & me ($250 vs. $500). Total hypothetical price for the 2 of us on the next cruise is $3000. Is final payment $2500 or $2750? I have read that we can only use one certificate per cabin, right? Not per person?

Actually, you're technically paying $100 less, because you got that on board credit when you bought the FCC. Yes, one FCC per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahvch Posted August 9, 2008 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Question I have three cruises booked. I will be on The Sky in a little over a week. I planned on purchasing the Cruise Credit. My question is this can I use this credit on a sailing that I already have booked but have not made final payment on? I read the information on the website and don't see that it addresses this. Just curious if I could apply it towards my November sailing that I have only paid a deposit on so far. TIA for any info Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCL Fan. Posted August 9, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2008 This should be for every NCL cruise, I just got back from the spirit and I heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illsticktocrusing Posted August 10, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I bought two certificates during my cruise last year. I booked one cruise and have a month left to book the next. I think I know the answer but want to confirm. What if I don't book my second cruise. I will get back by $250 deposit minus the $100 OBC ($150) correct.

I have the terms and conditions in front of me. #4. Freestyle Cruise Rewards Deposits are refundable only within 30 days of purchase, in the amount paid minus the amount of the instant $100 shipboard credit. A Freestyle Cruise Rewards Deposit can be applied to your next cruise with NCL and otherwise has no cash value and is not redeemable or exhangeable for cash.
