Unbelievable. It really is unbelievable in today's day and age. It isn't acceptable either. NCL is constantly tripping over itself on these types of issues. There is Facebook, Twitter,and email, etc. How hard is it to post an update stating....at this time we expect to sail or at this time we expect to have a delay, etc. I truly feel for those in transit that have no information or communication. I hope it all works out. I will tell you, Carnival, would have been all over this via Facebook, Twitter, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa99 Posted February 15, 2019 #255 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Just received the following text from NCL. Norwegian Cruise Line has an important embarkation update regarding the February 16th sailing of Norwegian Epic. As a result of a delayed arrival into Port Canaveral, Norwegian Epic will now cruise a 5 day Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay itinerary. Check in and embarkation will be held on Sunday, February 17th. Guests may arrive at the Port Canaveral cruise terminal number 10, on Sunday from 9:30 am to 3 pm for check in. We thank you for your understanding of this unexpected change.

coscab Posted February 15, 2019 #258 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I don't dare tell my DH this, we always book an aft facing cabin, love the wake while we are cruising and view when in port, seems like a lot of money to spend to go to these ports, I feel so sorry for those that are coming a long way and have the added expense of flights and hotel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am following this because I have family that is sailing. I was just on the phone with them and their TA beeped in. Waiting to hear back. They were going to ask their TA why it was shortened.

Absolutely is, but would you expect anything different from NCL? Their sole goal is to mitigate negative financial impact and inconvenience to NCL. The well-being and inconvenience of their guests, I mean, paying passengers is secondary and ancillary. We've talked about that many times before here on these boards. This announcement creates more issues than resolutions, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcann4444 Posted February 15, 2019 #263 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Everybody is talking about the delayed sailing. That is certainly a reasonable concern How about the thousands of people on the ship who will not make their flight home tomorrow. I wonder how NCL addresses that for those that do not have trip insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never cruised NCL and based on what I'm seeing here, doesn't seem likely that we will anytime in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, what I'm hearing now is that people will be boarding on Sunday, but the ship isn't leaving PC until Monday. That really doesn't make sense though...

That position isn't "live(ish)" or accurate at all. It's based solely on where the ship was scheduled to be. Google and use the Marine Traffic site if you want accurate info.

Lisa99 Posted February 15, 2019 #271 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Boarding the ship is now on Sunday but not leaving PC until Monday. NCL is giving an automatic 50% back on this cruise and a 50% on a future cruise. Or you can choose to cancel and get a full refund. They are also offering $300 toward airfare changes. We're sailing on Epic tomorrow (now Sunday) so the information above is official from NCL. Edited February 15, 2019 by Lisa99 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briji04 Posted February 15, 2019 Author #274 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This is crazy. I realize that people have commitments and air tickets but there is an atrium full of folks waiting to use the free phone or internet that NCL has setup. Someone just started chanting “money back”. We have been offered 300$ change fee for air tickets and 100% credit. I spoke to a few crew members who were supposed to fly home tomorrow at 5pm. They can’t leave on time and I’m sure they want to see their families. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa99 Posted February 15, 2019 #275 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) We're canceling. I was on NCL Breakaway last week and didn't enjoy it. Lots of reasons; suffice to say that I'm happy they are offering a refund. Edited February 15, 2019 by Lisa99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
