So frustrating...

I know they are trying to sell it as an exciting change...

But it sure feels like more cost cutting measures.

I hope I'm proven wrong on that one.

It's worse than you thought, 9 not 7.

I think it has to do with the royalties they have to pay for the shows, they are looking to cut costs wherever they can.  Right now with the current pricing model I am not really sure if they were making money or just trying to get deposits for working capitol?  

Prices have  gone up but 3 months ago you would save over 2K on a lot of 10+ day cruises pricing NCL vs almost any other line, even without all the "Free" stuff included.

All of the EPIC cruises that were cancelled for the 4 month timeframe they offered discounts but the prices are jacked up now so they are really worthless for me.

They did get to use all that deposit money for free!

 

Here’s a list of shows who are sadly bidding farewell:

-Swing Will on Norwegian Gem

-World Beat on Norwegian Spirit and Norwegian Sun

-Velvet on Norwegian Jewel

-What the World Needs on Norwegian Star

-Footloose on Norwegian Joy

-Showdown on Norwegian Dawn

-SIX on Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Bliss

In the letter, NCL said that they understand changes can be difficult but are confident they can create an even more memorable experience.
