Some hotels, etc. in the summer vacation areas of Maine, generally too expensive for locals, are doing the same thing, some with "pay what you can" deals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted June 12, 2020 #52 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Here's the formal announcement by the tourism minister on the resumption of airline flights to Bermuda on July 1, including the mandated health protocols, which include a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the flight's departure and another COVID-19 test to be performed in Bermuda as soon as possible after arrival in Bermuda: https://bernews.com/2020/06/airport-reopen-commercial-flights-july-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your fellow cruisers feel the same. I think the Canada cruise costs more than a Bermuda cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nikkiw60 Posted June 14, 2020 #55 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Called NCL UK again today re Canada and was told that NCL haven’t made any changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 14, 2020 #56 Share Posted June 14, 2020 The good news is that you still have a destination. Was just reading on the Carnival board about several booked cruises for October have disappeared altogether leaving folks to wonder if their cruises have been cancelled.

Take it with a pinch of salt. Our cruise on the breakaway in October is no longer available on the website. Though it is still in our account but I expect NCL to contact us that it has been cancelled in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwawao Posted June 15, 2020 #59 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I was just on the NCL site. You are unable to select Alaska/Canada cruises for this year anymore. The month options are all grayed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted June 16, 2020 #60 Share Posted June 16, 2020 And we have now received an upgrade email! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted June 16, 2020 #61 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Notice that website isn't on ncl.com? It's automated, and whatever database they have received from NCL has probably not been updated. It was posted in another thread (maybe it was on the RCI forum?) that if you bid on an upgrade you actually have to cancel that bid before cancelling your reservation or you risk being on the hook for the bid even though you're not sailing. Somehow the bids are not linked to the reservation until it's successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwawao Posted June 17, 2020 #62 Share Posted June 17, 2020 NCL finally throws in (most of) the towel. https://www.ncl.com/suspended-sailings?cid=SM_NCL_PRO_BRA_FBK_LRN_WLP_WHYNCL_SAILUPDATE061620_NA_NA Notice there isn't gonna be any bermuda cruise. In fact there won't be any cruise in August and September save for the so called Seattle based Alaska Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are some cruises (and cruise lines) planning to sail again this year. So, this looks like a letter stating that they will, indeed!

I don’t see these cruises happening even if for some reason, Canada magically allowed cruises or Alaska waived the test requirements. Seattle just isn’t ready in regards to the virus yet.

At the time I booked, shortly after the Encore debuted, Bermuda was significantly more expensive than Canada which is why I chose Canada. I wanted to experience the ship. I didn't care about the port. I think I booked at around $1000 (cabin price only) for a studio and my current price, after drops, is $520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
