Why wouldnt there be tendering in those cases?

For those complaining about losing 2 more ports, the passengers on the Gem for Nov 1st, 11th and 22nd could lose up to 7 POC. 2 in Israel, 2 in Egypt and 3 in Turkey. What would NCL do about almost totally gutted cruises ? Those would be very long cruises to nowhere.

If a Diamond doesnt know what he/she is entitled to receive during a cruise, why are you asking the 'peons' ? I doubt if a Silver would really care or be an expert in your level problems. Maybe changing to at least one more cabin will alleviate your angst ?

Oh good That's where we start our cruises. B2B2B to NYC

The 24th is right for a POC for the Gem... Can you see if the Gem is in Athens on the 11th ?

SORRY (In Carol Burnett's voice) 🙂 🙂 🙂

Our cruises are Nov 11th and 22nd. A couple of days ago I was told any moment we could get an Email . Just now I was told November cruises would get an Email in a week or 2.

There was a mention that there were 3,500 Americans aboard. Im sure whatever airline they would have flown home on will help them. Many of them had cancelled flights. Theyve already paid for their flights. Theres still a few thousand Americans still stranded though.

The Rhapsody just left Haifa for Cypress with Americans aboard.

CruiseHive has a tracker page. Mein Schiff is showing at Alexandria and Rhapsody of the Seas is at Haifa sent by the US govt to take the stranded Americans to Cypress.

Just announced on TV The US govt sent the Rhapsody to Haifa to pick up the stranded Americans.

On TV this morning. Americans are waiting at Haifa to be taken to Cypress by sea.

Americans who were stranded in Gaza/Israel are waiting there to be taken to Cypress by sea.

In May for the Epic, Barcelona had an area for Haven passengers right next to the last door before you stepped onto the deck. Only Haven passengers or those in Transit could get that far. There were snacks and drinks there.

Your Nov 1st itinerary out of Istanbul has the same ports we have for Nov 11th and 22nd. If those Egypt and Turkey ports are also cancelled the cruises will be 10+ day cruises to nowhere. Mystery Cruises.

Book online. It should show up in the NCL pages when you look for cruises. Plus the word Military will be listed in your account info. Or just call someone else at NCL.

If you are referring to the Panama Canal cruise, you had to ask about the refund for Bermuda. We got money back. When it didnt show up in our account, I went to Guest Services.

Not anymore. The shuttle used to have that stop right behind the building next to the statue but now its several blocks away, closer to the port. The price has gone back to 3 Euros (the driver doesnt carry change)

I just bought some CruiseFirst last month and right away used two for deposits on B2B cruises for next Sept. I think the 4 months thingy is for the cruise which must be at least that far out.

I dont mean this one. The subject has been discussed for months. NCLs new veteran program was first announced nearly a year ago. We booked our first 10% off cruise on November 3rd, 2022, for a Jan 3rd cruise on the Sky. Since then every cruise this year has been 10% off.

Actually I answered the posts months ago. Where were you ?

I didnt need to use my DD214 Just had to supply any day I was actually in the military. Was accepted right away. The 10% discount just started as of Jan 1st this year. It was announced online the week before Veterans Day last year. We booked for Jan 3rd right away and got it then. It shows up in the NCL pages if you are signed up.

I'm so glad you keep on agreeing with me. Yes this is definitely not just a blip. But Egypt and Turkey might also be out as far as ports of call are concerned. Then what ?

We're not planning to cancel and we dont expect to go to the 2 Israeli ports. But most of the rest of the ports are in Egypt and Turkey. Plus Cypress and Rhodes .We start in Athens so that wont be a problem. This morning NCL told me that they are dealing with one cruise at a time and just the October ones for now. On Oct 12 the Gem leaves Istanbul and goes to the middle of the Med. Oct 22 does the middle of the Med and then ends in Istanbul. Nov 1st, 11th and 22nd all had ports in Israel, Egypt and Turkey. The Nov 22nd cruise ends in Rome on Dec 4, then the TA to NYC. We're on Nov 11th and 22nd, both heavy in Israel, Egypt and Turkey.

No but for both our cruises we go to Israel, Egypt and Turkey. If NCL takes out those ports the cruises will be gutted. We do end and start in Istanbul. (Nov 11 and 22) As long as the Gem starts in Athens on Nov 11 as she is supposed to we might be OK . We fly into Athens. I think NCL is deciding what to do on each cruise as it is due to sail. If our state dept gives out a travel advisory for the whole area the cruises will be cancelled. I would just like to know ahead of time so that we can make other arrangements etc.
