Jade after Spring 2016

[TXParrothead]

I was going to book the Jade for a December 2016 sailing and now it is gone. Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks

Jade is heading back to Houston on 29 October 2016 for the winter leaving the Epic on it's own in Europe for the winter 16/17 for now. The Star is heading for a winter out of Tampa and the Spirit is off to Port Canaveral for the winter 16/17.

 

That has been the plan for quite a while now.

Yes, but OPs question was about the fact that right now Jade is completely unavailable for booking in Dec 2016. In fact, there are several ships "grayed out" for Dec 2016: Jade, Spirit, Sun, Epic and Star. Maybe they are contemplating itinerary changes? Or maybe just a website glitch? Who knows...

That's interesting, I dont see cruel im booked on at the end of Nov to beginning of Dec 20716th listed either.

All off to Asia and Aus?

We have a Haven room booked on the Jade TA from Barcelona (Oct 2016) for our honeymoon. This cruise has now disappeared from the website. I'm going to be crushed if they cancel this cruise.

Most probably itinerary changes due to asia australia deployment lets see what happens on august 4th

The UK site is still showing the cruises, but they are not available for on-line booking at present. They are shown requiring callback or email enquiry!

 

This happens on the web site from time to time so could be a glitch, some huge deployment change or a big $/£/Euro currency rate change affecting the prices.

 

Not going to be a happy bunny if our October 1 2016 BTB from Venice to Barcelona is messed up. The Jade is still showing available on the first half of our BTB that is starting and ending in Venice so she should be in Venice on the 1st and 8th at least.

I just read on another thread, 5 ships have had itineraries pulled. I'm going to be seriously pissed off if they pull my sailing.m

NCL is apparently making a big announcement.

[pollux]

Try to book the TA for 29 Oct 2016 yesterday.

Once with the NCL person ,paid the deposit and it came up for Oct. 2015.

Then booked on line paid the deposit and came up in the email again for 2015.

Now I am waiting for 2 refunds on my credit card.

I am mad********. My plan ruined. Going over on the TA in April 2016.

Like to come back the same way.

Thanks computerworks. I called my PCC who called corporate and she was told there is no official confirmation so now we play the wait and see game.

Curious if your cruise is still showing up in my NCL?

[peteukmcr]

Yes it is:D

[littlelulu01]

Yes it is:D

 

Interesting. The price protection offer and some obc sounds good, especially since I read on other thread that people who had their cruise canceled more than a year out simply got an I'm sorry but your cruise is canceled.

 

Very curious about the Epic now. I was so excited to book such a great deal, get a Haven Suite on 11 night sailing. Price was considerably less than other haven suites so I would not be able to afford a haven suite without the price protection.

 

Also interesting that they didn't offer you price protection on the new cruise same dates. Who knows they may have some great new itinarys.
