Norwegian Cruise Line - Unfair - Read before Book Again

I meant to say, I am not saying its right....:eek:

Frankly as a relatively new cruiser, I never even considered that this was a possibility in my previous 4 cruises with NCL. I never book my airfare with NCL because they are unable to tell me what my flights are until only a few weeks before the cruise. There are rarely direct flights from my home base so I would prefer to arrange my own flights and determine which airlines and airports I will have to deal with. Since we rarely book more than a 2-3 months before a cruise, would this make a rescheduling less likely? I know if this happened to me, I'd be really upset.

 

That close in, you would possibly be affected by the ship being run aground (Costa), or catching fire (Carnival and Costa), or being sold (always a possibility with NCL Sky). However, charters are more than 7 months out on NCL, from my research on getting switched to the Jewel. The March 2012 Sun charter had 7 months (and better offers for compensation), but the Pearl/Jewel swap had 9 months of formal notice.

 

Have I mentioned travel insurance??? *grin*

Yes, insurance seems to be the way to go, however, when your airfare usually costs more than your cruise, one looks for ways to economise.
