The certificate is only good as a Deposit on a cruise not yet booked. They love to call it an obc of course so the uninitiated will think they have onboard money to spend. Yes, you used to be able to combine two certificates into a suite deposit but they changed that in 2016.

Skip winter and check into brighter days, warm turquoise waters and tangerine sunsets on a Caribbean cruise. We’ve added longer itineraries in addition to our shorter cruises— giving you more time to immerse in port and to soak up all the fun in the sun on shore. At sea, you’ll be island hopping in style on our award-winning fleet. Gratuities increases apply to all NCL vessels, except Norwegian Sky (which is drinks-inclusive). On NCL Sky ship, standard cabin and mini-suite passengers pay per person USD 19 per day, while suite passengers pay USD 22 per day. Cruisers can switch their future cruise deposit to a different sail date at any time before final payment without penalty; however, you would be responsible for any difference in fares.

Thrill alert: Norwegian Cruise Line's next new ship to have an epic 'hybrid rollercoaster' - The Points Guy

Thrill alert: Norwegian Cruise Line's next new ship to have an epic 'hybrid rollercoaster'.

Recently, I was on the Jade and they offered even more credit if you booked the new cruise while on the Jade. You cannot use the certificate if you already booked the cruise, must be used at time of booking. I plan on knowing what cruise I want to do next time I cruise so I can book my new cruise while at sea. This was my thought - while I'd like to book Haven, I have know way of knowing whether the pricing will work for me until I am ready to book. The big difference seems to be that if you buy the Haven certificate, you can use that as the sole deposit rather than make up the difference at the time of booking. I think if you are combining certificates for a suite deposit on Haven, you would still have to put down an additional $1000 (for a total deposit of $1500) at booking.

Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information. You can put the booking under your travel agent's name, so you can work with them leading up to the sailing. That 30-day advance window is something you won't find elsewhere. Just when you're getting antsy to get on board, you can book the next trip and be rewarded with savings. You are also allowed a one-time change of your advance booking.

We booked a November 2023 PoA cruise yesterday, and my PCC mentioned (and applied) this when he called to finalize the booking. Deposit ended up being $560 CAD for a suite, so DH is pretty happy, and it means we’ve only got two CN certs left to use by the end of 2024. Pride of America operates inter-island Hawaii cruises year-round, and there is no indication that the next cruise or any future sailings will be impacted by the now-resolved technical issue.

Reduced deposits start at $100 per person for cruises up to 21 days, $300 for cruises of days and $1,000 for cruises of 51-plus days. Norwegian Cruise Line has a unique CruiseFirst program that allows anyone to put down an open deposit for a future cruise right from the website, even if you haven't ever cruised with the line. Carnival also has a Welcome Home program that allows you to take advantage of these offers for up to four weeks after you return home from your cruise.

From October 2022 through March 2023, Norwegian Cruise Line offers a variety of itineraries ranging from 8 to 21-day sailings traversing the Panama Canal onboard 6x NCL boats (Encore, Jewel, Pearl, Bliss, Gem, Joy). Starting June 2 through December 29, 2023, Norwegian Sky sails 3- and 4-day roundtrips from Miami Florida, calling at Freeport, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cay. Sailing roundtrip from Miami FL, Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Escape offer a mix of 5- to 9-day roundtrips to Eastern-Western Caribbean. (December 2022 and March 2023) NCL Prima from Port Canaveral offers day roundtrips to Western Caribbean. Norwegian Prima is a newbuild (2022) ship with Maiden Voyage currently scheduled for August 17, 2022.

If you choose to put down an open-ended deposit, rather than choosing a specific sailing at time of booking, but don't manage to choose a cruise within four years, the deposit amount will be refunded. In most cases, changes to your reservation will result in a forfeit of the onboard credit and a change in rate to the applicable rate of the new cruise chosen. That means you can't stack onboard credit from an FCV with your VIFP loyalty program status offers or any other special rate classes. Every cruise line handles onboard cruise bookings slightly differently. Here's what the major cruise lines offer for booking your next cruise while on board. If you booked the cruise you are on with a travel agent, the next-cruise booking will automatically transfer to the same agent.

Since 2017, NCL offers all-inclusive itineraries in some markets. The company's new program was named "Premium All Inclusive" and is included in NCL's fares. The new program is only available to travelers living in select countries and as destinations - on cruises to Alaska, Hawaii, Asia, Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe, Panama Canal, South America. From dinners with officers and behind-the-scenes tours to laundry service and discounts in duty-free shops on the ship, it pays to be a member of the Latitudes Rewards program. You can even score special offers, such as free onboard credits.

I thought that you used to be able to combine two regular certificates into a suite deposit. I've never purchased one before, what was hoping to pick a few up on my Feb cruise since I am clearly addicted at this point. You do not need to know when or where you want to sail next before purchasing! CruiseNext Credits are redeemable as payment towards all Norwegian sailings of 3 days or longer so purchase onboard and redeem towards your next cruise(s) of 3 days or longer whenever you are ready.

Experiences At Sea cruises are usually themed on music (Rock, Country, Pop, Blues, Broadway celebrity performances, etc), also LGTBQIA+/Atlantis Events, Comedy Influencers, Sports, and others. The itineraries are in the Caribbean (roundtrips from Miami) and all visit NCLH's private islands - The Bahamas' Great Stirrup Cay, and Belize's Harvest Caye. NCL's Caribbean itineraries always visit the company's Bahamian private island Great Stirrup Cay (purchased in 1977). A port of call exclusively for NCL ships, Great Stirrup's vacation experience starts and ends with the "Bahama Rama Mama" tender boat (capacity of 300 passengers). Both NCL's first vessels - Sunward (1966) and Starward (1968) - were car ferries, but later their car decks were refitted into cabin decks (housing staterooms) and a 2-deck high theatre lounge. In January 2023, NCLH announced its newly-established brand “Experiences At Sea”.

Coupled with the Roundtrip Air offer that gives you access to free or reduced rates on roundtrip airfares for up to two guests per stateroom, you could save some serious cash. Once you decide which cruise is right for you, it's time to redeem your CruiseNext Credit. To do so, simply call Norwegian's toll-free line to speak with an agent, book online, or contact your favorite travel professional. Promotion, you can use two CruiseNext Credits, subject to the DoubleUp!
