Every category sold out I did my daily look-up on the 3/22 sailing at lunch to count open cabins again. Occupancy is now at 61%. Over 690 open cabins (200 more than yesterday). But as we're all seeing, NCL has suspended March bookings despite plenty of open cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually by doing mock bookings on TA sites and counting up the available rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I last checked my 3/15 Bliss sailing out of NYC around 11:00EDT, there were 1139 open rooms, which puts the ship at 44% full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad098 Posted March 13, 2020 #32 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) April 5th New Orleans Getaway all sold out in the UK Somethings happening Edited March 13, 2020 by nomad098 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wampuscat7 Posted March 13, 2020 #33 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Possibly not related, but there's a thread on the RCI board about a crew member (possibly entertainment?) posting on Facebook that she's out of a job for two months. Perhaps has to do with Mr. Trump's announcement today? Perhaps NCL is finding that their potential profit no longer outweighs the risks? Perhaps it's just a glitch? Perhaps NCL is changing the pricing model? I tried a cruise place on the web for non-NCL cruises, and it seemed ok.

And just like that this sailing is showing sold out. Something is definitely happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted March 13, 2020 Author #35 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I have been able to find some sailings in APril that are available to book. Looks like the cut-off is the week of 4/12.... those sailings are unavailable, but later in April are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMike45 Posted March 13, 2020 #38 Share Posted March 13, 2020 30 day increments of shut down? Same as the 30 day travel ban from Europe? Wonder if that will be part of Trump's announcement today? 30 day ban on all cruise ships. Would tie in with @JamieLogical saying 4/12 you can book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GettotheSun Posted March 13, 2020 #39 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yup, this is a signal for sure! After I cancelled our upcoming cruise (was to leave this Sunday), I checked NCL and did a fake booking for the Getaway..."Surprise" there were several newly available Haven cabins for what was previously sold out. At least 5 or 6 in the Aft were available (just Haven). But I went on last night and they were all "sold". I was like - wow I missed a fire sale on Haven cabins!!!...thinking not so much now.

Cb2534 Posted March 13, 2020 #43 Share Posted March 13, 2020 My transatlantic is scheduled for 4/23 - it is going to be so disappointing if these potential cancellations don't include the TA cruises. I guess we wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js Posted March 13, 2020 #49 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I can no longer find it but someone on FB posted a letter from the Senate to NCL regarding their miscommunication to customers as well as strongly urging them to suspend sailings. I should have taken a screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
