Creator's Key Takeaways

The Next Cruise Program is something that you would use if you know you're going to do a cruise and just pay for it outright or if you're going to do a comped cruise through the casino.

So the next cruise program itself is something that you do while you're on that sailing and that is something that will get you a discount on the deposit for your next cruise.

If you do not do the next cruise, instead of having the certificate for a free cruise, you're going to end up with a certificate for money off of a cruise.

One of the important aspects with an X cruise that I really think that um needs to be taken into account is that they're not refundable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Next Cruise program while on the ship to get a discount on your next cruise deposit.
Ensure you have a card on file that can be charged for the $200 deposit.
Book your next cruise within 30 days to use the onboard credit before it expires.
If you're a casino player, do the Next Cruise to get the full instant cruise certificate offer.
Be sure you're committed to cruising again, as the $200 deposit is non-refundable.
