Caribbean 2009 Schedule?

[fabby50]

Hey! I was happy to see NCL's posted more of the 2009 Caribbean schedule. They have Jan - April and then October through early 2010. HOWEVER - we want to take a Southern Caribbean cruise in May 2009 for our anniversary! Any travel agents or NCL employees out there know when they'll post May 2009 through September 2009? I am itching to use my MasterCard $$$ and my coupon I got on my last cruise!

 

Thanks and happy sailing everyone -

I don't think NCL does the Caribbean in May. Most of the ships do Europe, Alaska and Bermuda in the summer.

They are doing it this summer according to the schedule and did it last summer according to the reviews. I thought it might have something to do with repositioning/changing the schedule of the Pearl since I know they're not doing the 9 day anymore, but I know the Jewel is. Want to book the Jewel -

You might have sailed on the Jewel in April but not after May. I looked over reviews for the last 2 years for the Jewel,the last Caribbean cruises have been in April. Generally the Repos are last April-early May. In the NCL press room, they have released their complete 2009 schedule. It looks like the Jewels last Caribbean cruise is April 12th 2009, after that would be a TA since she sails from London on April 28th.

Any info on repos for 2009?

Here's what we know so far for the summer of 2009:

 

Pearl, Sun, Star: Alaska

 

Dawn, Spirit, Majasty: Bermuda

 

Gem, Jewel, Jade: Europe

 

POA: Transferred to Star cruises

 

POAm: Hawaii

 

That covers all the NCL ships except the Dream. Maybe she'll be retired. As it stands now, it doesn't look like they'll be anything to the southern caribbean this summer.
