dreaming2012 Posted March 10, 2020 #51 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We are sailing on the Dawn in 19 days out of Tampa. We have no plan to cancel at this point. We have been looking forward to this cruise for a year and are celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re still going unless the cruise cancels for lack of passengers, which is my fear...... The chances of that happening on that itinerary are, in my opinion, slim to none.

How many of you are still keeping your March cruise reservations? Do you think the cruise ships will be half-full, or do you think new reservations fill canceled spots? I'm sick of people panicking!! We plan on keeping our reservation! we have on in April on the Bliss and my family is the same, saying things like , you need to cancel, is not worth it, reschedule for another time, your life is more important, i can go on and on...We are keeping our cruise too, for now. Our cruise is still 6 weeks away and a lot of good or bad can happen between now and then. If we find that is getting worse of course we will make a rational decision, base on truth not on paranoia.

Checking the inventory of my 3/22 Bliss sailing a little bit ago, we had 129 more rooms available than on Friday. So not a huge percentage of cancellations yet. Ships is currently still ~90% full. So I don't think they will be canceling that March sailing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra cleaning supplies packed and I think were all set. Both of us also will pack a few extra things in case of a quarantine and our laptops for entertainment. This is the trip we just cancelled. I hope you will post updates from the ship. I am so curious to know how full or empty it will be, the general mood on the ship etc. We are rebooking for December. The kids (teenagers) are soooo upset that we aren't going on Saturday. Their school actually closed because of a suspected case. We will go away, but driving distance. Just couldn't risk getting suck on a ship and missing so much work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just re-visited our 3/22 Joy sailing and there were 110 open cabins yesterday and 216 open at this point of the day. I kept checking to be sure I was looking at the correct sailing, thinking I must be doing something wrong. At first I thought all the open insides were because they were upgrading to open balconies, but by the time I finished, I realized that was not the case. Virtually all cabin types increased in vacancy today. Open Cabin Stats: 7 new havens open (sold out for weeks) 9 Concierge Suites 39 Mini-Suites 82 Balconies 27 Oceanviews 52 Insides 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the same cruise and moved up from a cabin with a large balcony to an H7 (Forward facing haven suite) yesterday also. I unfortunately did not realize that the balcony was not in the front but it is on the side of the cabin. I am bummed about that. It will be our first time actually staying in the Haven. Are you part of the roll call and are you going to the meet and mingle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a blood bath. I know a site that shows all cabins...It's a pain in the #$$ to navigate, but you can count all cabins. For example the BA category on this sailing went from 4 open cabins this morning to 21! On the flip side, there was definitely a move by NCL to upgrade. The B8 category was the only one that decreased -- going from 34 open to 15 open now. However I agree, there is a ton of people bailing (Pun intended).

julig22 Posted March 10, 2020 #68 Share Posted March 10, 2020 4 hours ago, donnajoedoc said: I had the same question. My friend wanted to cancel, but not I. My TL called NCL and they told her both parties need to cancel. In the case of you and your husband. He could not cancel if you don't. He could not show up and you could still go. He'd get some money back, like port fees, etc, but the not his cruise fare. Cruises are priced double- occupancy for the most part, so there is no refund to cruise fare anyway. NCL might not want to deal with it now but a no-show isn't really any different (financially) than taking one person off of the cruise reservation. As a solo traveler, I pay the same price that a couple would pay, less taxes and DSC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan on keeping our reservation! Sailing Encore 3/15 and keeping ours. Comparing available a few days ago to today, I’d guess 10-20% are cancelling. It’s hard to say since you can only see 15 available cabins in a category, but most were GTY and now most show 15 available cabins. 20+ Haven cabins now available when there were 4 or 5 left a few days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobeyoungandpretty Posted March 10, 2020 #73 Share Posted March 10, 2020 3/29 Encore...as of now yes. Traveling with 2 High Schoolers - monitoring situation. I say yes, but if more get quarantined- that may change. on a side note ...I really want to know how many of those who are quarantined are actually sick .
