I want to thank everyone that contributed to this
thread regarding the "free" cruise certificates
and how to get the max value out of this offer.
As usual, Misscraps came thru with one of her
OUT-STANDING answers that covered all the bases
and even a couple of thots that I hadn't had
but would have in the future! And also to those
that later added their 2 cents -- thanks to all
of you--I think I now have a complete "text" on
how to use the NCL free cruise offer . . .
Many, many thanks!

This total varies a bit depending on time of cruise, port, type of cabin. These fees total around $300 per person for me for a couple upcoming cruises to Caribbean and Mexico. So that should give u a rough idea.
Fees may be a bit more for Alaska.
This is one reason I feel these "complimentary" NCL cruises are deceptive. Some Harrahs properties describe them as "free" cruises, but $300 upfront isn't free in my book. You must pay these at time of reservation. Getting the insurance is also probably a good idea in case u must cancel.
On top of this you will pay $12.50 per day per person for .......................................
