Briitini Posted May 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I may just be ignorant when it comes to cruising, but it seems there is a lack of 7 day cruising options in June and July... the only lines I can find multiple choices are Carnival and RCCL. I have options where I live (Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral). I am beyond confused about this. NCL only has one ship on 7 day cruises and it's the Getaway. Has it always been like this and I just missed the memo? Edited May 18, 2015 by Briitini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted May 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Out of Florida, NCL typically had one ship doing 7 day cruises when Getaway arrived. They have short hop cruises on the Norwegian Sky. There are 7 day options out of Boston and New York City but those head to Bermuda. If you wanted to cruise back to your home state you could take the Gem back to Florida. :cool: Then there's the Med with 7 day itineraries. Norwegian doesn't have as large of a fleet as Carnival who services more of the Caribbean year round from FL then any other cruise line with Royal Caribbean a distance behind.

roger001 Posted May 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Most of the NCL ships reposition to Europe and Alaska cruises during the summer. I think the Caribbean (and Florida ports) just get too hot in the summer for many persons....including me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it always been like this and I just missed the memo? Have you considered sailing to Bermuda from NJ on the Celebrity Summit? a nice cruise- also NCL Breakaway sailing from NY to Bermuda. Great time to sail to Alaska also and most of the "big lines" sail to Alaska from either Vancouver or Seattle. And if you want to go overseas- the "big lines" also do Europe.

newmexicoNita Posted May 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Europe and Alaska have been the itineraies most cruise lines have used during summer months for years. NCL is re-entering the Caribbean market for sailings during the summer next year I think it is, but it still will be very limited. As they add more ships, they will, most likely add more sumemer sailings out of Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it always been like this and I just missed the memo? Book Sky for 3 nights, then 4 nights and it totals 7! Epic left the scene. I agree with another poster about the heat. Though I live in the heat here in central Florida, we went in April one year and the heat in the Caribbean was a beast to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
