AdoptAtty Posted December 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Get up to $500 of on-board credit with NCL's freestyle resolution. Try this link.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting2retire Posted December 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 19, 2008 To the OP... so how did you get the OBC on an existing reservation?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlue Posted December 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I got a pretty good price on my stateroom, now the prices on my state room went up $60 PP, so I would have to spend $120, to get $40 more in OBC... not worth it, ...Just depends on what kind of deal you got to start with.

CruisnGram Posted December 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 19, 2008 To the OP... so how did you get the OBC on an existing reservation?????? If you are not within the penalty period for cancelling, you can technically "cancel" your cruise and rebook to get the promotion. However, as LittleBlue said, it depends on the current pricing, and what you paid, whether it is worth it or not. CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplegoose Posted December 19, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2008 To the OP... so how did you get the OBC on an existing reservation?????? Not the OP but I received $300 OBC to my existing reservation by calling RCL and asking for it. The prices hasn't gone up for me so we made out well!

blackerbys17 Posted December 19, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yup, sure enough. I got an additional OBC on my existing May 31st reservation as well. Mind you, I already had a $100 OBC so I only got an additional $50 OBC but hey, that covers the service charge for a nice specialty restaurant dinner. :D By the way, my cruise fare did not go up at all.

midnitestarz82 Posted December 19, 2008 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I found that my South American cruise (BB) in January 2010 dropped in price from $1889 to $1417, and then went down again a few days later to $1304. I had my travel agent call both times and he easily got us the lower price without rebooking, so we already saved $585 per person. The second time the price dropped, I didn't know about the OBC but the person at NCL told him about it, so we got a $150 credit also. So I would definitely call and ask, it's well worth it. I was prepared to rebook but didn't have to, it only took a 2 minute phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBug Posted December 19, 2008 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2008 so if i already received an obc for booking earlier is it still possible to get more on top of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackerbys17 Posted December 19, 2008 #14 Share Posted December 19, 2008 so if i already received an obc for booking earlier is it still possible to get more on top of that? It depends. In my case I already had a $100 OBC from before. The current promotion offers $150 for balcony cabins so they just gave me $50 more, not $250 in OBC. I think that is fair.

NJ Johnny Posted December 19, 2008 #17 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Everyone should be aware that recently NCL has changed the price of the cruises quoted on the website to NOT include the travel innsurance. It still can be purchased but it is not priced in the quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Crews Posted December 19, 2008 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2008 So if I received my fare at a military rate for a jan 09 sailing, would I be entitled to any obc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiesbykk Posted December 19, 2008 #20 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I simply called NCL and asked for it. Just was that simple. Try It or have your T/A do it. Good Luck.:) Jailerman, help me out here. I must be doing something wrong (and I'm a first-time NCL cruiser so I'm a bit of a rookie). Booked our cruise less than 90 days out with a TA so paid everything at once. Called NCL today to see about the OBC you mentioned and they indicated that my TA "owns" the reservation so they'd have to call. So, called my TA but she's on vacation until end of the year so I spoke with her manager instead. He called NCL for me but got back to me and told me that the booking agent who handled my cruise (the one on vacation) has to be the one to make this request. Does this sound accurate to you? I don't want to be greedy but if I'm eligible for the additional OBC, I certainly want to take advantage of it and I'm worried this offer might no longer be available by the time my TA returns... Confused on a Friday....:confused: and appreciate any advice! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen No it does not sound right, the part about your agent owning the reservation is correct and they have to call but the part about the Manager at that agency not being able to handle it for you while an agent is on vacation is rediculous. I would call back and insist they deal with it. Then only other thing I can think is that this agency you booked with is all independent agents, which I think would be awful. I hope it works out but I would not ever use that agency again especially if it does not work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to get an OBC for existing reservations is if you have not paid final payment. Those who are getting the OBC and have an existing reservation are being cancelled and rebooked. If your cruise is already paid off they will charge the penalty fee and this wouldn't make sense. Has anyone out there received the OBC for this promotion when they had already made final payment?
