shamrock58 Posted March 16, 2015 #26 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Scheduling? Berth availability? Port operational hours? It can be due to many reasons most of which are external to NCL. Unless NCL tells you in the letter, it's all conjecture. I also received an email today from my TA so I am pretty sure it is not conjecture, as my nephew who is travelling with us also received an email from his TA, who is different from mine. Safe to say we will be arriving at noon and leaving 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charalec Posted March 23, 2015 #30 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Also for my May 23 date. We planned a lazy beach day at Blue Lagoon, so it's not a much of a change. Hi Laura, We are on the same cruise and I came across your post. I noticed that NCL is not offering the Blue Lagoon Beach Break excursion anymore now that they don't get to the port until 12. So are you booking directly through Blue Lagoon? I saw the following on the Blue Lagoon website: "Our boats depart for Blue Lagoon Island at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Our boats depart from Blue Lagoon Island at: 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m." So you can't depart until 1:30 (get there by 2:30?) and you have to leave the island by 4!

stevenq99 Posted March 24, 2015 #31 Share Posted March 24, 2015 we hit the opposite shift in September. I suspect this is the normal time and it is shifted in the fall-winter due to it getting dark in Nassau before it was time to leave. Nassau is not a place I want to be wandering around after dark. Slowing the ship down between St Thomas and Nassau saves $$$ in fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlene I booked it through NCL, so I didn't think it would be much of a change. I suppose I ought to check MyNCL and see. I checked and it still says it's a five hour excursion. I may ask on the NCL board to see if anyone has used this since the time change. Edited March 24, 2015 by WoodsDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
