PAID IN FULL

In an effort to reduce costs for our On the Blue Cruise Alumni, we will offer a Paid in Full Discount to any guest who has sailed on ANY of our OTBC cruises in the past as well as books AND pays in full before the alumni booking period has ended. 

This discount is available only for Alumni guests that book for the 2025 On the Blue Cruise during the Alumni Booking Period. Guests that choose to Pay In Full will receive a 2% discount on the base fare only. Not available for any other guests or bookings, without exception. This discount cannot be combined with any other discount or offer. While this payment plan and discount is offered during the Alumni Booking Period, it is capacity controlled and the offer may expire before the Alumni Booking Period ends (11:59 pm on Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024). 

*The Fine Print - Discount is applicable to base cruise rates only and is not offered on the Mandatory Fee Supplement ($450 per person for all Interior, Oceanview, Balcony, and Club Balcony Staterooms/$475 per person for all Penthouse and Haven Suites) for merchant fees, government taxes, and fees. The Paid in Full Discount is only valid during the alumni booking period and expires on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 11:59 pm Eastern or until capacity is reached. Once the discount is expired, it will no longer be available and will not be reinstated for any booking. The entire cabin must be paid in full to receive this discount. If payment is not received within 72 hours of the booking, the 2% discount will automatically be removed from the booking and the reservation will convert to the 4 Payment Plan.

The Payment Terms described above supersede those made by the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract, as your payment obligation for the Cruise is to OTB. Please note the payment provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to the Cruise, regardless of any representations made by NCL or its affiliated entities, whether in the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour terms or elsewhere. The rights granted to passengers in the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract relating to the payment or refund of cruise fare and to cancellations by passengers shall not be operative.

ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE - PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT FROM THOSE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES! 

Due to the nature of this event, any and all deposits and payments for On the Blue Cruise are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE and therefore, we highly recommend Travel Insurance.

Travel Insurance is NOT included in your reservation. The purchase of travel insurance is at the discretion of and the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through On the Blue Cruises, Inc. (OTB). It is up to each guest to research and decide whether to purchase travel insurance or not, and to decide on a 3rd party vendor of his or her choice for insurance if they choose to do so. OTB is not responsible for any losses, medical expenses accrued during travel, and/or any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance. Not all travel insurance is the same, and you should carefully investigate to determine what situations are covered, and how they are covered, in each policy you may be offered. For maximum coverage, we recommend that you consider third party policies with “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage. OTB makes no representation or warranties as to what travel insurance will or will not cover. Please note that some policies must be purchased within 14 days of the initial deposit.
