NCL Corporation ("NCL") have just unveiled an improved Latitudes program that will features tiered based benefits on the number of NCL cruises passengers they have taken. The program has been divided into four tiers -- Bronze (1-4) completed cruises, Silver (5-8 completed cruises), Gold (9-13 completed cruises) and Platinum (14 or more completed cruises) - each tier offering benefits designed to recognise and reward NCL loyalty.
Each membership level offers guests access to a Latitudes Customer Service desk; a complimentary subscription to Latitudes, a quarterly members-only magazine; exclusive pricing on all sailings; the added enjoyment of Polo Club benefits when sailing on Orient Line's Marco Polo; Latitudes Check-in Desk at the pier; a Latitudes ship pin; a members-only cocktail party hosted by the Captain; and a Latitudes onboard liaison to ensure that all past guests receive their benefits.
In addition to this Silver Members receive an invitation to an exclusive gathering on board and treats delivered to their stateroom twice during the cruise; Gold Members receive VIP service, which includes priority boarding, an in-stateroom welcome basket upon embarkation; priority restaurant reservations; priority tender tickets; priority disembarkation and an invitation to the Captain's VIP cocktail party. Platinum members receive all of the above and enjoy the added benefit of a complimentary dinner in NCL's signature restaurant, Le Bistro.
The program is retroactive to the beginning of the original Latitudes program from 1995, which means some members may automatically be selected Gold or Platinum status based on the number of cruises they have sailed on over the past years. On every cruise a guest takes with NCL in the future, his/her cruise card will indicate the appropriate tier level. Membership is automatic and complimentary.
