NCL: CONVINCING SCAM EMAILS

- Ongoing NCL warning: scam emails contain REAL booking details.

- Names / reservation number / ship / sailing date / amount paid / paid-in-full status.

- Passenger report: professional graphics, no obvious errors, arrived around actual check-in window.

- Requests: credit-card verification or another check-in step. Threat: cancellation if you do not act.

- NCL investigating. Source of information unconfirmed. NO confirmed NCL breach.

- Do not reply, click links or provide payment information. Open app yourself / type NCL.com / call trusted advisor.
