We also have restricted opening hours for bars and restaurants and curfews but only between 1am and 6am so it doesn't affect me I"m in bed by then anyway lol Edited July 18, 2021 by SpainAlien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the credit is 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL uses "full" FCC as quoted previously and goes on to say: 100% Future Cruise Credit Enjoy the flexibility to use your 100% Future Cruise Credit for sailings through December 2022.

I am scheduled on the Jade for October, but I'll cancel if I have to wear a mask while on the ship. NCL has not yet updated their Sail Safe page: https://www.ncl.com/sail-safe We are also cruising on Jade in October. Really hoping the mask mandate is cancelled.

My bad, I wasn't even thinking about cash vs future cruise credit. It says FCC on the policy (though I thought it mentioned refunds in the past).

Originally we were planning to fly to Italy via Heathrow, but would've been subject to the same 5-day quarantine, which would've scuttled our trip altogether. Fortunately, we were able to get our flights switched in order to avoid the UK and the quarantine. My hope is that Italy will dispense with that requirement soon, for your sake and others. I called NCL today and they confirmed that if Italy dont remove the restriction, I can move my cruise to the same one but starting three days earlier in Barcelona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted July 20, 2021 #91 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) No one can say what rules you will have at cruises in Europe in the next couple of month. This is not alone a Decision of ncl, ncl have to do what the countries tell them. And greek or Italy have their own rules for cruise ships at their ports. no one can say how they change their rules.

Yeah, I'm coming to realise this. I can cancel my NCL cruise 15 days in advance, so I'll be keeping my eye on the news. I've also cancelled my insurance so I can re-insure closer to the time.

I work from home, my partner is here too and our hobbies are home based. No problem AT ALL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
