Heather1972 Posted January 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Noticed my paid in full 2/5/2022 NCL Escape cruise as of yesterday says “cruise on hold, time is running out... make payment”. So is this always the kiss of death and the cruise is going to be canceled? Others on this cruise have called NCL and NCL says nothing is wrong. My gut is telling me otherwise. Thoughts?

halos Posted January 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Did you put a hold on the cabin or a deposit?? I'm not sure I understand your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fully paid and now that message is showing. As stated by the OP this usually means it is in the process of being cancelled. I don’t think I can offer them any reassurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raschueller Posted January 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Yeah. That is it. That is how they lock out the cruise before the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raschueller Posted January 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) when we lost our two cruises previously that was the exact message we received. we called were told "everything is fine on this end, and we are still SCHEDULED to go. Then we would get a follow up saying that it was not going. Edited January 11, 2022 by raschueller sent wrong message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm NCL still has this cruise up for sale, but I wouldn’t put it past them to keep it up to continue to get cash. What’s the typical time frame to get notification that it’s canceled? I’m ready to make other plans if it is going to be canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raschueller Posted January 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I know. I was thinking about something else when I posted that and just edited it. We had two cruises that were cancelled. Our first cruise was the deadline to pay message. One on the getaway and one on the pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long after the “cruise on hold” did you get actual cancellation notification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly does it say this? We're on the 2/12 sailing and just want to know what I should look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click view reservation and if it says.. something like “cruise on hold” it’s probably not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanf31 Posted January 11, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I just logged on to my 1/15 Escape reservation and it is not showing "On Hold". Looks like it is still a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted January 11, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I am on the Escape cruise this weekend and I don't see anything like that. Wouldn't the next cruise be the first one cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they are no longer selling the 2/5 cruise, but they are selling the week before and the week after. Maybe they are planning on taking a pause that week. It would be nice if they would tell you so you can make other plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
