    We were going to cancel but our TA told us to wait a while. our cruise leaves out of NYC emergency area and arrives in Seattle. So we are holding on to see if they cancel this cruise either way we will cancel. We have up to 48 hours to do so. Is on the Bliss for 21 days on April 19. She told us if we cancel now, we would get FCC that we could use for our October cruise which we will keep for now. I believe you get taxes back as refund to credit card. WE bought the spa pass and she said that would be refunded to us to our credit card as well but the cruise itself would be FCC...I hope that helps.

     

    So technically we are 38 days out and when i went to the bidding it stated " not eligible to bid" if may be a glitch who knows.

    So if you canceled now it would just be a FCC.  If they cancel, would be $/refund back and taxes refunded also?
     

    thanks! Trying to figure out what to do as well🙁

    We canceled ours. We still have our reservation but are now 80% sure we wont go, so no bidding for us. I went to my account again today and it said not eligible to bid....hmmmmm

    If you canceled, why would you still have access to bid? Also when is the cruise for? We may cancel also. Are you getting $ back or FCC? Thanks!

    Looks like the virus is getting worse, before better.  Not sure when the safe zone will be.  June may be world peak and who would want to go on cruise then.  Plus with all these FCC passengers and such a loss of profit; prices will skyrocket.. and who’s to say the cruise companies won’t bankrupt before the FCC’s kick in.  It would be their cheapest option.  The credits will be useless.

    Sailing on Pearl April 8.  Booked Obstructed Oceanview (OK). We put in bids slightly above minimum for balcony (min - $50) and mini-suite (min - $75).  Others on our roll call reported getting upgrades with similar bids, although I believe they were in regular Oceanview (not obstructed), but we hadn't gotten upgraded yet.  With all the price drops and added free perks, we ended up paying to directly upgrade to the lowest balcony category (BD) for $13 (total, not per person), which also includes all FAS perks plus $200 OBC.  It was a guarantee balcony room, and today we were assigned our cabin midship, deck 10, BA category.  We are ecstatic about this, and will not be placing any upgrade bids for higher categories, even though we could now bid for a number of different Haven and non-Haven suites (and a minisuite).  Minimum bids range from $500 for a non-Haven penthouse suite to $2000 for Haven 3 bedroom villa, from our current balcony cabin.

    Congrats on your upgrade! 
     

    $500 to $2000 that’s high!!! Wonder what most end up paying to win bid.  Didn’t realize they go up that high!

    I did bid on an upgrade for a June sailing .  If things don’t improve, we may cancel.   If my bid is approved , will that be refunded if we cancel? 

     

    The temporary modifications to Norwegian’s policies are as follows:
    • Final payment for all June and July voyages will not be due until 90 days prior to sailing.
    • Up until 60 days prior to sailing, the cruise line will allow a transfer of the reservation to any other cruise that departs on or before June 30, 2020. The transfer voyage must be of equal or greater value, prevailing rates will apply, and penalties will be waived. 
    • If a guest chooses not to sail, the name change restriction will be waived up to 45 days prior to sailing. Name changes will be permitted for the cruise reservation only and excludes flight arrangements through Norwegian Cruise Line and/or pre-purchased travel protection.  

     

    June bids were offered already?  Which June date are you sailing on?  We’re end of June and haven’t seen anything yet re bids. Thanks!

    I had an inside cabin, casino comp, booked through CAS.  Called last week due to the decrease in prices on my cruise, and was able to upgrade to a balcony for what I consider an OK cost.  Upon the upgrade, was also entitled to the 3 night dining package, the $50 per port excursion credit, the drink package, which I already had, and the free 250 minutes of internet.  So I went from one perk to 4.

    What is CAS?  Thxs

    I think Coronavirus is on the ships.     I think its inevitable with so much of the crew being asian.    

     

    Im just off the Pearl, cruising in the Caribbean.    There was a lot of coughing......a lot.   Is it Corona?    I don't know but there was something that swept the ship.   I wouldn't be surprised if in the next week or two its revealed that there is an issue.      Its going to be an issue with all ships who employ people from Asia.  

     

    These employees worked the holiday busy season on the ships and then the ship lets a lot of them go on their yearly break in January because its less busy.    Now that it's late February they are returning back to the ships from their vacations back home.    I really wouldn't be surprised.

    Great point re workers back from vacation!  Hasn’t been brought up yet.  Also, with all the coughing, were they testing passengers?
