Makes sense! I love the Jade but beginning to think the round trip from Miami on Gem makes more sense, I still would not drive, Miami is a good 6 hour drive barring no traffic, no accidents from Savannah. AA has direct flights that I’d use

Looking at Panama on Jade for Jan or Feb next year. Would you do Miami ending in Panama or start in Panama ending in Miami? Tampa/ Panama or Panama/ Tampa

Thank you for taking the time to write a thought out well balanced review. Hope your next cruise to Bermuda is wonderful

I think you just might be right

The couple from SC who have been doing all the squawking could have easily named them

And yet the tour operator who should of got them to Senegal remains unnamed, of which the name should be public so others know to steer clear

Usually I have email confirm within an hour. Booked early this morning and no email yet Never mind for some reason went to my junk folder

Even then Russia is not a place to be stranded

St Petersburg Russia? That’s a horse of a different color, last place someone needs to be stranded

Train

It’s to the point if I just want some R&R, float around the sea I’ll book a cruise from one of the Florida ports I can drive to. Seen most of the Caribbean so a port change wouldn’t bother me. That said on the more expensive European cruises ports are important to me and I truly hesitate to book NCL. I either need to research other cruise lines, read their forums to see how often this happens or book a land based vacation on what I want to see! Port changes for weather, unrest etc things out of the control of NCL I don’t have a problem with but these Willy nilly changes and cancellations of late give me pause

Depending on where she will be deployed I might be booking that one too

I’ve read that and also read cargo ships take priority and rightly so. I was looking at Jade for Panama in January but think I’ll wait to see where they are redeploying her to. She’s my favorite NCL ship

Did Alaska twice once on Bliss and once on Jewel. I would jump on the 10% off coupon for the latitudes cruise but it’s late September and last August/ early September it was quite windy and cold so I can only imagine very late September

For sure a bummer for many! People are also complaining even with the 10% fcc trying to switch is costing more out of pocket money. At one time, not sure if they still do it, when Royal cancelled they had what was called a shift & lift where you could book a comparable cruise with your original price locked in
