It's 90 days in the UK, but 120 days in the USA.

 

 

We book through a US travel agent.  So would have thought US rules apply but I'm happy I'd they dont xx

Last weekend I changed our Breakaway out of NY in Nov to Jade out of Tampa in Jan.  Booked a GTY balcony just checked allocated a BA on deck 10 and final payment is 5 Oct so 90 days before sale.  My Breakaway booking was also 90 days this was only booked in Nov 19.

Just emailed our PCC to change our repositioning Breakaway from NY to NOLA in Nov to a 5 day & 7 day B2B from Miami in Jan.    Works out the same price and get to keep the same balcony cabin for both legs.  Hopefully he will get back to me soon.  He never replied to my message about the sailings.

We have a western Caribbean cruise Dec 12, 2020 out of Miami on the Encore, thoughts on probability it will happen?

If the infamous note is to be believed Encore starts to sail again at the end of Sep so if the note is correct you should be ok.  Fingers crossed for you.

i don`t think the Breakaway will do this repositioning cruise. She is still in France of scrubber installation. i do have extreme doubts that any cruises from NYC will take place during the next four months.So i assume that they will park the breakaway somewhere and will send her directly to NOLA and start the 7-day cruises end of this year or beginning of next year. I don`t think it makes sense to send her to NYC just to load passengers and then do the repositioning.

 

That's what we think so looking at moving cruise to Getaway out of Miami in Jan doing a 5 day and 7 day back to back.  My flights are non refundable but I can pay £200 to move them to January.

I think that is the date they plan to start public sailing.  For instance the NCL Jade repositions to Tampa and the first Tampa sailing really is scheduled for November 22.  We leave on the Jade January 3, 2021 so I did some research to see when it would start from Tampa to se if we would be in the roll-out.  So this seems like the real dates not just crew start up.  But it remains to be seen of course.

If it's the start up date then Breakaway will/should be in the middle of its 13 day repositioning from NY to New Orleans.   

Still no reply from PCC though.

there was a document leaked on a different site that showed most ships wont resume sailing until late September/October. that document was then removed. Not sure how true it is but it is a possibility of more canceled cruises in the future

I saw that document I I screen shotted it and have sent it to.my PCC.  See what answer he comes up.with.  We are booked on Breakaway and according to the document it starts resailing half way through our  13 day repositioning from NY to New Orleans.

Good morning

Not NCL related - but Cunard have just announced on UK radio news that they have suspended all cruises until 01 Nov 2020.  Who will be the next to suspend?  Should the lines just suspend until then to stop people booking then cancelling just to have it cancelled again.

Under the old rules, you had to call in order to reserve but not pay.  If you booked on-line, you had to pay in advance.  Then you got the excursion credit when you took the excursion but usually had to request the Latitudes discount, even though the representative on the phone always insisted that the credit had been applied.

Our PCC did say to email him our excursions and he will.sort.  I will email him tommorrow x

Just tried with laptop does the same takes off lattitude discount but not room credit.  We booked Nov 19 before the changes so I am wondering if still under old rules.  We also still have 5 speciality dinners not 4.  

Just tried to book our shore excursions online - using the mobile app. We have the $50 room perk.  When I goto the basket it doesnt take off my perk or my.lattitudes discount.  And you are correct it doesnt give the option to pay onboard.

I can see on NCL.com that the first cruise out of New Orleans is Breakaway on Nov 22, 2020.

 

 

That means they are possibly still planning on breakaway leaving New York on 9th Nov arriving New Orleans on 22nd.  We are booked on that cruise.  Still wondering what to do.  We can cancel and poss move cruise to a Jan one out of Tampa but more expensive we booked this last year with 30% past cruise deals.  Our flights from UK are non refundable but British Airways will move to either new dates/location we just pay any extra.   

I had to download a VPN to check the prices on the NCL US = as from the UK it automatically directed me to the UK site.  

Our cruise is still $1000 more expensive under the offer - we booked using the 4 free at sea and the got the extra past guest discount - I think we were very lucky.

I downloaded Hola its a free app - though it is hit and miss to whether it works - but its enough for me to check the US prices - I then asked for a Cruise consultant to phone me at home which they need from Miami.   I always book through a US tour agent - its cheaper, you get the price drops if you notice them but its a risk as you don't have the protection but if you pay on your credit card you should be covered.

Got off the Epic last Friday - they only have the 3 lanes in O Sheehans - which get booked up pretty fast and would only let us book one game at a time at $7 pp per game.

Help, please, to understand.

I booked a cruise from an English TA, received a booking confirmation, which states the condition "all inclusive".I checked my booking on the NCL website. In My Holiday Summary are told that I have "Prepaid Service Charges for All Cat except for Haven and Suites", but it is not indicated anywhere that this is an all-inclusive reservation, no mention is made of the included drinks.

Maybe someone has already made an all-inclusive reservation and can tell me how it is reflected on the NCL website. Is everything okay with me or need to worry.

Thank you!

We got off the Epic last Friday - we are British but booked through a US TA - we had the same on our holiday summary but we had UDP on our room/swipe card but did not receive of the free bottled water in our cabin or the coffee after dinner - but we did book it over a year ago - and got the free grats in a flash 24 hour sale.

Just got off the Epic on Friday after a transatlantic - they halted disembarkation at one point due to hold ups in the terminal (3 ships docked at one) - we left our cabin at 8 finally got off ship at 0930 hrs, then had to queue 30 mins for a taxi into Barcelona (which is a very organised queue with controllers allocating you taxis).

Barcelona airport on Sunday was also nightmare - took nearly 2 hours from arriving at the airport to getting through security and customs.

But we had a great cruise met some lovely people drank and ate far too much and are pricing it up to do it all again but in reverse in Nov 18.

We have just driven up from Orlando today took us just over an hour. UK flights usually arrive at 2ish in the afternoon. We hired a car.

We just put anti bacterial gel in the toilet compartment for washing hands at night time.

Does any one know what the regular price of a manicure is? - I will need my Gel nails re-doing - mid cruise. We are on the Epic sailing 01/04/17.

We are staying at the Hotel Cuatro Naciones on the Las Ramblas for 3 nights when we disembark the Epic after her TA in April. We booked it 9 months ago and got a very good price as its Easter weekend.

Thank you xx

Morning

I am trying to buy an internet package for our upcoming TA cruise in April - I can only see internet packages as gifts - is that how you purchase them?

Thank you

So the slot machines - take cash and card - will take cash but handy to use card - if we are passing through.

Thank you
