DeBlonde1 Posted January 1, 2016 #4251 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've been on 4 NCL ships since Dec 2014. Each time was solo travel. I've never had an issue receiving my incentives as a solo traveler. I'll be sailing Escape and Getaway later this year and received the Pick Two. I booked a studio cabin. So like someone else mentioned, it appears to be more the room category. Sounds good thanks to you and others who responded. The Terms and Conditions still shows the following: "Singles paying 200% of voyage fare qualify." I interpreted that to mean if you weren't paying the supplement of 100%, you weren't getting the perks. Am I misunderstanding or are they not enforcing it? I would hate to book and have them take away my Beloved UBP!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about to change their promotion: book a studio or inside, pick 1. Book ocean view or higher, pick 2 perks. Starts in 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted that to mean if you weren't paying the supplement of 100%, you weren't getting the perks. Am I misunderstanding or are they not enforcing it? I would hate to book and have them take away my Beloved UBP!! :) I'd recommend in this case to call and make your booking. I don't want to steer you wrong. I know when you book, you'll get an email with your amenities spelled out. For example, I'm booked on Escape in Nov. I'm getting the Pick Two. That is on my sheet. I just spoke to a rep on Wednesday about the Gem. At that time, NCL is offering a singles rate and I still qualified for the UBP. So, I don't want to say NCL isn't enforcing it. There seems to be some exceptions. For ships that offer solo cabins, one would not pay 200%. So I'm confident about my past experiences. Just don't want you to have a different experience. I think you're fine. Like I was told before joining the military, ask lots of questions and get everything in writing. Besides those calls are recorded [emoji3] I've never had it come to needing that though. Happy cruising!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidDT Posted January 3, 2016 #4257 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I thought this thread was limited to solo DEALS. There are 50 other solo threads for questions and comments. It has become unreadable. Agree 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sungold Posted January 3, 2016 #4258 Share Posted January 3, 2016 So what are the other 50 solo threads? I only know of 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9876 Posted January 3, 2016 #4259 Share Posted January 3, 2016 NCL Dawn seven day out of New Orleans is 399 plus tax to make 520.00 total. Leaves January 10. The January 17th sailing is a good price too. Only about 50 dollars more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespertino Posted January 4, 2016 #4260 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Thanks for the cruiseplum link, that was extremely helpful. I've only cruised with a companion before and this made shopping around easier for going solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted January 4, 2016 #4261 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The same cruise on Feb 3rd is $1124 before tax for a balcony and 2 perks. My mouse-clicking finger is starting to get itchy. with NCL booking 30+ days you need to add the perks tax as well as the regular taxes to get a price comparison with UK/EU which include those fees.

SeatheWorld83 Posted January 4, 2016 #4262 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Different. The new promotion is called "Free at Sea" and it runs from January 4-April 10. It did I think of you this morning when I saw the new promotion. Once you mentioned it, I looked everywhere on the site and didn't see anything about this. Until today. This is running for awhile. Do you know if they'll offer reduced deposits again? Pick Two for Escape/Getaway or Oceanview or higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nisky18 Posted January 8, 2016 #4265 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I did too !When I called Princess yesterday to confirm price and do the booking, the gal said that she had worked for Princess for 17 years and couldn't believe the price for a solo and thought it was a computer glitch. And, I'm thinking, yeah, she just wants me to book it ! Which I did- super excited about being on my first Princess cruise, even if I have to wait till 2017 Happy Cruising everyone ! Which 2017 date did you book? I'm looking to celebrate special 2017 birthdays with some friends. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nisky18 Posted January 8, 2016 #4268 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Sounds good. We're in New York State and thinking of leaving from a New York port so as to not obsess over flight issues. For us, though, the dates and itinerary will be limited because of two of our four seasons. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrobstad Posted January 10, 2016 #4271 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Jaimie, thou we can't tell you the name of the online TA, try cruiseplum.com for single supplements. I think NCL is best for last minute solo trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love2Cruise4Less Posted January 11, 2016 #4275 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm a long-time CC fan and single/solo cruiser. The last two cruises I enjoyed I found and booked a single balcony cabin for less than $100/day. Since last year I haven't been able to find anything close to that price! Do tell, are cruise prices for single's going up? Yes, I *do* know of many online agencies. (CC rules restrict us from mentioning these many agencies.) Yet, searching many resources, I can't find my goal. Am I dreaming?? My goal: A single/solo balcony cabin priced at less than $100/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
