She said they are in the process of cancelling the 09Apr22 sailing...emails should go out later today

or in the morning......same options as the previous 3 cancelled sailing dates

 

We will rebook for next spring with the 150% credit instead of taking the 4 other NCL options

for Apr 9-10.

did they make any mention of when they believe repairs will be completed?

The 4/9 cruise looks to be cancelled.

Well, I guess the good news is that they're giving more and more notice about their cancellations each week.  They're up to 5 whole days now.

Wow .. there must have been some very serious damage.  We were there on Cape Canaveral beach on Sunday 3/20 when she came in.   She's been there ever since for repairs.   I was surprised they sailed her that distance with a patch over the gash in the hull. 

 

She's a beautiful ship and we loved our Bermuda cruise on her back in 2019.    Hope they can get her back in service soon.

It might be minor, could be an issue with getting a part. A friend of mine had a computer problem with his 1 year old Ford F150. It took the dealer 37 days to get the part in. Luckily they gave him a loaner truck for the entire time

Since Escape is going to go over to Europe April 25 I'll bet they cancel the 4/16 sailing also to be sure the repairs are done correctly before a TATL.

I am just happy that my booked Escape cruise isn't until August.....

3.5 hours later on hold (varying) with American Express and NCL, finally rebooked on the NCL Joy, out of Miami, Same cabin class, Same costs, with smaller pool will be less interesting, but seems like my Teens might like this one more.  Not a fan of Mexico ports, but we will see.  

 

Way more trouble than a vacation should be, praying for negative covid tests to make it all worth it!

 

Thanks for the heads up CC and forum gods, I still have not recieved the official email about my original cruise being canceled, but if I had waited, I'm sure I would be staying home..

This has been like pulling off a band aid slowly.

There are major issues with the supply chain.  My sister's wheel rim broke on her car and she has been waiting for 3 MONTHS for the part to come in, still no end in sight.  We ordered a new washer and dryer in January and are still waiting, no idea when they will be in.

Dear Valued Member, 

 

As the world continues to heal from the pandemic, it is important to note that the top priority for everyone in our industry continues to be the health and safety of our customers, the crew onboard those gorgeous ships we love to sail on, and the many ports and communities we visit. Still, it is never easy to inform you when the cruise lines suspend their service.  

 

Due to the repairs onboard Norwegian Escape taking longer than initially expected, the Norwegian Escape voyage that was scheduled for April 9, 2022, has been canceled.

  

Currently, we are contacting all our valued members and asking that you acknowledge your cruise suspension by clicking HERE and submitting the applicable information on or before April 6, 2022. If we do not receive your acknowledgement, with your selection of the applicable option(s) offered by the cruise line, we will automatically apply for a refund* on your behalf.  

  

*Refunds always apply to your original form of payment. In other words, if you paid for all or a portion of your cruise by using a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) from the cruise line, the portion paid for with your FCC does not qualify for a cash refund. Instead, your FCC will be returned to your cruise line account.   

 

All refunds, regardless of form of payment, can take between 45-60 days. 

 

Due to heavy call volume, we ask that you simply submit this form with the applicable selection. Please note that due to the numerous policies the cruise lines have adopted during Covid-19, we are unable to guarantee a refund unless your affected booking specifically qualifies.  

  

We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this challenging time. Please know that we value your patronage and look forward to assisting you in rescheduling your cruise vacation. It is truly a pleasure to serve you.  

  

Kindest regards,  

Our Vacation Center
