Still busy moving reservations. I tried to modify my new Encore reservation today and they told me things are still frozen and to try again next week. 

This is confusing cause I booked Aug 28 on Encore Friday, then called back made changes a few hours later, then Saturday made dining reservations no problem.  Was it just the 1st sailing that was "frozen"?

What is the hold up for green light the Alaska sailings?

Right outside Singapore currently

Cant wait to sail on the Encore

Cant wait to sail again

Wow! Maybe NCL really does think they can pull off the USA this summer. I'm feeling doubtful, but they may know something I don't. Is it past final payment yet?

Final payment is May 4th.  And the ship is currently in the UK

My Bliss cruise is still on for July 3rd

Looks like the announcement may come soon

No dice.  July cruises should be canceled around Tax day

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Cruising safely and responsibly during a global pandemic is very difficult. CDC and the cruise industry have a shared goal to protect crew, passengers, and communities and will continue to work together to ensure that all necessary public health procedures are in place before cruise ships begin sailing with passengers. The Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) provides a phased approach to resuming passenger operations in a way that mitigates the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Currently, CDC does not have enough information to say when it will be safe for cruise ships to resume passenger operations. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the world. There have been several recent instances of outbreaks of COVID-19 on board cruise ships in countries that have allowed passenger operations to resume, despite cruise ship operators implementing measures in an attempt to control the disease, highlighting the need for further action prior to resuming passenger operations.

Regards,

Maritime Unit

Seems like this is stalling and season will be canceled

NCL has removed Alaska from its 2021 schedule today.

Alaska getting canceled?

Will they be extending the timeline?  Mine all say 6/30/21 and I have cruises canceled from last fall and Xmas

So they finally canceled April

You lose it 😞

been there done that

 

maybe wait and see if January 2021 gets canc and see if reoffered. 

 

also if you rebooked early saver you will have to talk to someone to move to a later date so you dont lose deposit.

Good advice

There are no cruises from Ft. Lauderdale showing on the Carnival website.  What's up with that?  I know Carnival announced that initially they'll be sailing short cruises from Miami and Pt. Canaveral, but I assumed cruises would eventually resume from Pt. Everglades.  

 

It's a lot easier for me and less expensive to fly into FLL as opposed to MIA.  I know there are shuttles, but it's an added step and more money.

SWA has added MIA as a destination so I would expect fares to drop to MIA

Well Covid you canceled me but I got the last laugh.  Booked two more today

Miss hearing these stories, bet they will be hot once cruises start back up

They made this change several years ago (not months ago). The change has nothing to do with COVID. 

Change was made in Feb 2020 - pre covid lockdown
