H&J Posted December 14, 2013 #127 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I called NCL today to inquire about the DAWN embarkation problems in Tampa as I have a cruise two months from now, same ship out of Tampa. I also asked about the 2015 itineraries as the 2013-2014 brochure only had a few listed. I was told that they were being firmed up and to check the NCL website after the first of the year.

dongordon Posted December 15, 2013 #131 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Thank you Deb..... The Epic would be my choice since I would like to spend a week in Paris with my DW for our 45th Anniversary celebration. Would you know if there is a B2B Carribbean cruise before it heads across the big pond? Also where did you find this information? Thanks again.

Don I found the information on NCL's website, they have the Epic listed on their cruise information through 11/29/2015 now. In April, the two cruises in Miami before they head off on the TA are both Western Caribbean. http://www.ncl.com/vacations/norwegian-epic-apr-2015?sailmonths=4294936762&ships=4294963194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic does it's last Western Caribbean (Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico) cruise of the season from Miami on April 12th 2015 and by booking that too, you'll get a self-made 18 night B2B cruise (if you book the same cabin of each cruise, you don't even have to pack up your bags in between when arriving to Miami after the Caribbean leg): http://www.ncl.com/vacations/caribbean-cruises-norwegian-epic-apr-2015-2-guests?sailmonths=4294936762&ships=4294963194&destinations=4294934559&numberOfGuests=4294915774&pageSize=5¤tPage=1&sortBy=Featured&autoPopulate=f&from=resultPage These cruises all can be found from NCL's website by using their search engine under "Plan your vacation"-link.

shipfriend_max Posted December 16, 2013 #136 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) As far as it looks like, NORWEGIAN JEWEL will operate on the 7-night-mexican Riviera cruises from Nov 2015.

I wonder if the Jewel doesn't return after Alaska 2015, what ship we would get. Maybe you'll get one of the other ships in the Caribbean like the Dawn if they remove her from Tampa? If Tampa is having all sorts of issues with their disembarkation maybe they'll move her to Houston and see if it's better there. Who knows? It's always fun to speculate though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My December 2015 is still unplanned. . .so I'm playing the "what ifs". I'd only do Houston/Galveston again that year if it is a neat ship, or something other than a Western. . .so chances are. . .we'll be Florida bound. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Looking at October 2015 (since it is loaded). The ships not accounted for are the Jewel, Pearl, Star, Sun and Escape. The Star is in Europe, so seems most likely it would stay there. And the Escape being new, I can't see it as heading to Texas. So that could leave the Pearl or Sun heading to Texas after they are done with Alaska. If the Jewel stays in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing yet on where she heads in November. I am watching to see what itinerary the Jade is doing December 2015, and what ship Houston would get the fall of 2015 - neither have been released yet.

Exactly the Dawn as she has every year in Boston will do Canada in October and then repo to her winter home. Where that is nobody knows for certain. With the Star coming to Port Canaveral winter 15-16 maybe they will give up Tampa freeing up a ship for Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the arrangements are/were with Tampa. But they had announced a 3 year contract between NCL and Houston. So they should have a ship here for the winter 15-16. So the Star is going to Port Canaveral? That is interesting. Any clue what itinerary she will do from there? My DDs are wanting to go to Disney World that year, but my husband wants to do a cruise. . . We have tried DCL before, but found NCL suited us better. Darn suite life spoiled us.

I guess the one good thing that could be said by keeping so much capacity in the Caribbean, it's going to kill the prices and make cruising really affordable. Now, unfortunately, the airfares are skyrocketing due to mergers. :cool: Port Canaveral really isn't central to any airports though which is why it's such a difficult embarkation point. This should be interesting to see how this all pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
