As I am paying for four cabins next June, this will save me another $500. Someone on these boards from 2021 was told the OBC was 'non refundable' meaning they couldn't use the half off toward the purchase of the certs. Meaning- when they earned the 250 they had to spend it onboard- they could just get the cert half off. It's not worth it for us if we have to spend money on stupid stuff onboard for 'fake savings'. We booked a November 2023 PoA cruise yesterday, and my PCC mentioned (and applied) this when he called to finalize the booking.

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. But I agree, it's probably not worth the gamble since I don't know what I will book, so I will likely just purchase the regular certificates.

Is NCL Canceling Cruises in 2023?
Before I made final payment on my December cruise, I noted the second person flies free perk had been dropped. I immediately paid because that's one of the best parts of the cruise. It's for the week of Christmas and they only charged us $100 (199 but bogo) each.
You can purchase up to 4 CruiseNext certificates, worth $250 each, toward any cruise you choose to take in the next 4 years. If you buy 1 certificate, you'll get $100 off. If you buy 2 certificate you'll get $250 off. So basically, if you by 2-4 of them, they are half off. I have made a few bookings in the last few weeks using cruisenext vouchers that were due to expire before the cruises they have been applied to. So now you can use 2 cruise next certificates for any type of stateroom, hmmm i guess that's good it used to be for Balcony and above.
Is there someone special you wish could come with you on your cruise? The Friends & Family offer gives you the chance to share your stateroom with up to two other people at no extra charge. 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. Yes, NCL has canceled 13 cruises between December 2023 and April 2024. Especially, Norwegian Epic’s sailings from December 1, 2023, through April 9, 2024, were canceled. Yes, if you’re a frequent NCL cruiser, NCL CruiseNext can save you money on your next cruise.
Virgin Voyages' My Next Virgin Voyage program
CruiseNext may only be purchased onboard, though they're transferrable so you can get them in the secondary market. You may purchase up to 4 of them in $250 increments for $125 each. You can usually use two toward your cruise deposit, though I believe that varies based on cabin type and cruise length.

But in a new twist on future cruise bookings, Viking offers repeat customers travel credits for all bookings within two years of their last sailing. Reserve your next cruise within one year of your last and you'll earn $200 in credit. Book within two years of your most recent cruise and you'll earn $100. I had purchased 3 certificates to round out the four I like to keep on my account. At the end of the trip the folio shows that I lost $193 of the “onboard credit”.
How to Use Your Onboard Credit

According to CruisePlum, the cheapest total price booking currently available on NCL is a 12 day Orlando - Rome inside cabin for one passenger at $1210. The travel credits are not onboard credits; they can only be applied to the purchase of a Viking cruise. When Princess says "fully refundable," it means prior to final payment on your chosen cruise. Once final payment is made, standard cancellation policies kick in, and your deposit may not be refunded. Also, FCDs may not be applied to world cruises or any world cruise segment. You definitely need to choose wisely with these deposits.
It depends on your destination, but overall prices for most NCL sailings rise from around Spring Break through mid-summer before dropping just as school starts. Fares rise again for holiday cruises, even though there are often amazing deals between Thanksgiving and the middle of December. If you booked straight through NCL, you'll need to call them. If you booked through a website or travel agent, you have to call them.
You use the $250 denomination CruiseNext deposit as a full deposit for non-suite categories, or as partial payment of suite deposits. The $500 deposits are full deposits for bookings in suites or The Haven. The NextCruise program also pairs with Casino Royale instant certificates given for reaching certain levels of gameplay in the casino during your cruise. If you earn a certificate and then pay for a deposit toward a future cruise, you may be eligible for a bonus offer.
At times such as those, a $300 certificate comes in handy. Use the link provided by kjquilts to see the current offer. The latest double up offer started July1 and ended August 31. Keep checking because you never know when NCL will offer it ( the promo).
In years past, NCL usually does not offer this TripleUp promotion approaching the busy & sold out summer weeks, and typically wait until the early Fall to promote this. Do take advantage of it, if you can and will be sailing NCL anyway. Booked at least 4 months in advance or occurring at least 4 months from today? Because we're past PIF, but if I could use one to prepay gratuities partially I will totally do that. Of course my cruise is 5 months and 23 days away. Yeah, many of the NCL folks try to tell you that.
Waitlisted cruises are not eligible for the Onboard Savings Program. Virgin Voyages is pretty relaxed about things like date changes within certain limitations. However, if you wish to downgrade your reservation below the Sea Terrace level, you will forfeit all of the bonuses. It's not really an obc so don't think you now have $125 to spend on drinks.
If there are no certificates currently on the booking? I didn’t quite understand all the T&C details about the certificates so I didn’t buy any when I booked the cruise. If you apply 3 cruise next certificates you get $1500 credit for a cost of $750 USD.
As an example, on our last cruise I bought 2 CruiseNext certificates it cost me $250. I'm going to use one of them when I book my next NCL cruise. I gave her the other certificate for Christmas this year( since they are transferrable).So, she'll get $250 off her booking.
