NICE plug!


Those booklets are a bunch of crap, in my opinion.
The buy 1 get 1 free dinner are for the FIRST night of the cruise only.
The Spa deals can be had at better prices on some sea days or port days.
The duty-free liquor offers are the same with or without the coupons.
If you spend tons of money on pics, that may be the only real thing of any "value" in it. If I am not mistaken and if I am not confusing NCL with Princess, you can get a 10% discount without any coupon just by purchasing 3 pics at one time. Talking of Princess, I know their coupon booklets can be had anywhere on the ship, they give them away at the Pursers's Desk and also inside the gift shops themselves AND they are also available thru the cabin steward.
That $300 "value" is if you use ALL the coupons, can you imagine how many $$$$$$ you have to spend, the booklet is NOT designed to save you money, is it designed to get you to SPEND money.

Just my opinion.

Captain

That's the way I see those booklets too, so don't think you are getting a real deal with those booklets. When Ã? am on a cruise, and in the evening when I return to my cabin and I find all those "deals"on my bed, I don't even read them, but they dissapear immediately in the trash can

Unfortunately I have to agree.

They get you to SPEND money and are a bunch of crap (waisted paper). The only thing we used was the BOGO Specialty Restaurant and I recommend using them at Cagney's and Tepannyaki since they both cost $20. Also, were we screwed up at....the BOGO coupon is only valid on the embarkation (first night). So as you can imagine...I wasn't too happy when I went to use it at Cagney's on Wednesday night.

Here is what you get:
CERTIFICATES INCLUDE:
· 1st night onboard - specialty restaurant - pay for one cover charge and get one free
· Treat yourself to five nights of dining in any specialty restaurant and get the 6th night free
· Enjoy $3.00 off on any DIVE IN logo or Island t-shirt when you book a shore excursion
· Buy three 5X7 photos and get a free photo key chain or a free photo magnet
· Buy three 8x10 photos and get a free photo folio
· Get 30 minutes free in the internet café when you purchase 250-minute time plan
· Get 15 minutes free in the internet café when you purchase the 100-minute time plan
· Free body composition analysis when you book an Ionithermie Inch Loss and Cellulite Treatment.
· Get 20% off laundry services when you spend $25 or more
· Get a free drink when you buy two during embarkation day
· Book a treatment at the spa and get 50% off a second treatment when the ship's in port
· Place a $5 bet on select casino table games and NCL will match it
· Buy one entry in the Blackjack or Slot tournament and get one free
· Spend $50 or more in the gift shop and you can take 30% off a t-shirt/baseball hat combo
· Purchase $250 or more worth of jewelry and save $25
· Get an NCL commemorative coin with any jewelry purchase - while supplies last
