Inside cabin (category KK, deck 5, 142 square feet) = $465 per person 

Ocean view cabin (category E, unobstructed view, deck 5, 159 square feet) = $635 per person 

Balcony cabin (category BC, deck 9, 203 square feet) = $865 per person. 

EVERYONE will receive a $50 shipboard credit per cabin. Note:  These rates INCLUDE all taxes and port fees; however, the tax portion of the rate is subject to change until paid in full.  Currently, $80.21 of these rates are taxes --- it is this portion of the rate that is subject to change until paid in full. The categories I listed above is where we have our blocked space; however, if someone preferred another category, they can still book into our group and receive the same group benefits -- the rate just may be different.  Also, I would like to point out that the cruiseline sometimes offer discounts to past guests, service workers (i.e. firefighters, military, etc.), and certain union workers (i.e. teacher's union and other big unions).  At the time someone books their cabin, I will ask certain questions to see if they qualify for further discounts.  If, for example, the "past guest" (called Latitude Member) discount is less than our group discount, then the rate will be adjusted to the better rate.  NCL makes sure people are not penalized for being part of a group --- so any discount someone may qualify for, they would still get even in this group.  However, many times the group rate is a better rate; but, as I said, we can compare rates and go with the better at the time of booking.

The NFBO will receive $50 per cabin booked and paid for.  If eight (8) or more cabins are booked, then this amount increases to $100 per cabin contribution to the NFBO (exception: maximum of $50 contribution for cabins not booked thru me --- however, these cabins still will help toward the cabin count to receive the bonuses).  Also, for every 8 cabins booked, the equivalent to one person rate will be offered to the NFBO as a bonus.  This rate is determined by the majority of the type of cabin booked; and this bonus rate is based off the base rate, not including taxes and port fees. 

I reserved 12 inside cabins, 12 ocean view cabins, and 8 balcony cabins. 

Like last year, those that are interested in booking a cabin, needs to call (or email me) directly.  A deposit of $275 per person is required to hold their cabin --- check or money order only.  Only $25 of this deposit, per person, is non-refundable --- the balance is refundable until final payment.  Final payment will then be due December 23, 2010; and at that time stiff penalties go into affect for cancellation.  Credit card payments are allowed for the final payment (as well as check or money orders) --- just not for the deposit.
