Maybe it has something to do with the fires in Greece.

They are sailing with a reduced capacity at first.  Each week it will be increased.  After Oct 31, 2021, a decision will be made to revisit their policies.  If you need further information just google. 

1. Will NCL provide the testing before passengers board, or is that our responsibility?  

I wonder how passengers who are being picked up by NCL at their hotel for transportation to the terminal will know what time to choose for boarding?

I agree to plan ahead.  Will say that my TSA pre-check which I applied for on July 7th, only took 2 days to be approved.  I was surprised, but greatful.

Thank you for that information..

I read somewhere that they would ask for a photo of your CDC vaccination card, as well as presenting it in person.  Other than that, not sure.

It says if you do the check in early, it says to re-visit around 21 day mark as there is more information NCL wants.

I have had price decrease regarding the cruise I am talking about.  I continue to check prices.  FYI, the cruise that "disappeared" has not reappeared!   So I am breathing easier.  

I was told that NCL would be sending information about testing, etc around the 30 day mark, so I cannot answer any of your questions.  Just winging it and hoping for the best.

I am booked for a back to back on the Epic in November, 2021. First leg is a 9 day cruise to Greek Islands/Turkey.  Will then be staying onboard the Epic for a TA returning to New York.  I am fully vaccinated, would hope that all other passengers/crew will be vaccinated as well.  For now, I am continuing on with my travel plans and will re-evaluate when I hear more from NCL.    Keeping my fingers crossed.   Not really fearful, just don't want to be constantly worried about who I am sitting next to, social distancing, etc.   I will wear a mask when I see fit, but plan on being outdoors a lot.  

I booked under the presumption that it would be a fully vaccinated cruise.  Will wait a bit before making a decision.   

I just went onto the NCL website to see if my cruise 11/9/2021 thru 11/20/2021 had come down in price.    I could not find it listed, although my reservation is still available if I want to make a payment.  Could this mean that this cruise is all booked up?  Or, is bad news coming?  The Epic transatlantic is still being sold.   Don't think I can handle any more disappointment....

I was so happy to verify and upload photo.  You would think I hit the lottery, lol!

I was able to upload my picture, along with email and telephone number this morning successfully.

• FYI,  I went on to NCL check in for my cruise.  I was able to take picture, verify email and telephone number.  My cruise is not until 11/9/2021, but it accepted all info.  

My email and my photo uploaded no problem (yesterday).  The telephone number could not be uploaded.  Checked with NCL Tech support who stated it would be available closer to cruise time.  My cruise is in Nov, 2021 

On the Epic 11/11/21 thru 11/20.  Then Transatlantic from Rome to NY  11/20 thru 12/5

I have a back to back in November, 2021.  The final payment date was pushed from July to September.

Trying my best to be patient, but getting hard to do!  

Just checked with NCL tech support who said that you can verify your email, input your photo  ahead of time, but have to wait until 21 days before your cruise to verify telphone number.   You won't be able to print out your docs until that is done.

I am sure that when your documents were ready, it would have informed you of the new addition.  

I have never needed a phone to check in when arriving at the cruise terminal.  I believe that email/telephone number is if NCL has health questions etc.  Could be wrong and maybe check in at the terminal has changed.  

I am cruising Nov 2021.  Picture uploaded, email verified, but cell phone states pending.  It may be because it is still too far out.   It also stated that if we were checking in 21 days or more, to check back closer to the sailing.

I will cancel.
