I cant believe its been 2 years already that Norwegian cruise lines streamlined their cruise offers and reverted their ships to Premium All inclusive as standard
I personally have heard some wonderful things and I know my customers found it to be one of the most transparent options of having Deluxe Premium inc drinks, gratuities and On Board credit on their sailings.
The problem arose with all those who do not drink as they had to find a way of making the system work for them and for their t total customers. the answer was GTY cabins which were nothing included and much cheaper fares. these cabins had no drinks, gratuities, obc etc…
Fast forward almost 2 years and it seems people want the flexibility of choice so they have created a way to offer this.
From April 2020 NCL Cruise lines will be changing their offers to 3 for Free to free at Sea campaign.
What this means for you and I
you can pay just £99 PP and select up to two of the following great offers.
- A premium drinks package, worth up to US$99 per person, per day, including gratuities and service charges
- Specialty dining for three nights of a seven-night sailing, worth $89 per person, including gratuities and service charges
- Free WiFi, up to 250 mins per stateroom on a seven-night basis.
- US$50 dollars on board credit per stateroom, per port, to spend on shore excursions
- The third and fourth passenger in a stateroom, sails for the cost of taxes only (selected sailings only)
Haven guests will also receive all five of the above options.
I think cruising is all about choice for some the specialty dining packages are more valuable than drinks for others the drinks are a preference.
One thing will be interesting will be to see how the pricing fluctuates between what they are now.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this change.
