Cruising into bargain waters
Norwegian Cruise Line continues its price push in two areas:
• It launched its “Best Price Guaranteed” program designed to make passengers feel confident they are getting the best price.
• It also announced the continuation of its “Summer Blockbuster Event,” where children can book for $99 as third through eight guests on select sailings on reservations made now through the end of May.
Under the best price program, if a travel partner or guest finds a lower advertised price from Norwegian for the same cruise within 48 hours of booking a fully deposited cruise, the guest will receive 110 percent of the price difference in on-board credit, or the cruise line will re-price the cruise at a lower rate.
If a lower price is found, travel partners/guests need only to complete the “Best Price.
Guaranteed” claim form and submit it online within 48-hours of making a fully deposited booking. If it meets the guarantee criteria and the travel partner/guest chooses to receive an on-board credit, Norwegian will automatically attach the credit to the guest’s on-board account.
The “Blockbuster” program also offers children complimentary soda packages.
Popular Norwegian destinations include Alaska, Canada and New England, as well as the Bahamas, Florida, Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Some seven-day Bahamas and Florida cruises offer Nickelodeon at Sea activities.
