So they are extending the dry dock a couple of weeks - they must be planning more upgrades - or they could not get the actual dry dock time they requested.

Maybe they are going to do more work on her hull after the minor grounding earlier this year.

Sorry about your need to reschedule - that really sucks but it is better you know about it now rather than later.

True. I'd rather know now. I'm booked on June 3 also.

Why are they only offering the October dates for rebook? What's wrong with July---September?

Tried calling the phone # they said to call. It's a non working phone #. Been on hold now for 15 minutes now waiting to get my refund. Great job ncl giving us a non working #.

Was booked on the Dawn for June 3rd also, received email , Glad that we received notice but not happy that we have to take cruise from Oct 7 to Oct 21 2016 to "Protect' our cruise fare , This is not right , Norwegian should honor the rate we booked regardless . I understand that the summer months are PEAK months but come on . This would have been my 3rd cruise and 1st time with Norwegian.

Why are they only offering the October dates for rebook? What's wrong with July---September?

Summer Months are PEAK months and prices are higher than May/June

I just received notification that the June 10 cruise is also cancelled. I feel strongly that our booking price should be protected no matter when we choose to cruise. It was not our choice to change the sailing date. While I understand that the summer months are prime cruise months, I think NCL owes us the courtesy of honoring our booking price.We are already booked on an October cruise and can't change the date for this one.

Tried calling the phone # they said to call. It's a non working phone #. Been on hold now for 15 minutes now waiting to get my refund. Great job ncl giving us a non working #.

(877) 461-1160 from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET Monday through Friday. I c[alled this # and was on hold fo less than 5 minutes. I already spoke to an agent at this phone # and was offered the month of october to rebook . I told the agent October was not a good month for us (work related) Since I was booked in a suite on the Dawn I was offered the Gem in May (Bahama)or the Breakaway in May (bermuda). , Now we are booked on the Breakaway for May 29 to June 5th 2016 .

True. I'd rather know now. I'm booked on June 3 also.

I called today after I got the email advising me that the June 10 sailing was not available due to refurbishing. I changed to June 17, similar cabin $40 more because of taxes, but got $50 onboard credit. It was very easy, could not get the same cabin#, but got one a few cabins away same balcony family. We were scheduled to go to Bermuda on Sept 4, 2011, but itinerary was changed due to Hurricane Irene. I could go out of New York, but I don't want to go a a mega ship. Glad they decided to refurbish the Dawn.

i agree not a big fan of megaship out of new york , but could not turn down this offer . we went from a aft suite deck 8 on the dawn to The Haven Aft-Facing Penthouse with Master Bedroom and Balcony on the 13 th floor on the Breakaway for a minimal incease to cover the taxes and we received $100.00 obc

I don't get it. My notification has no date restriction.

the letter for June 3-10 is different we were given the option to book from Oct 7 to october 21, 2016

and the letter for june 10-17 were given the option any Norwegian Dawn's available 7-Day Bermuda sailings

We called the number listed on our email...no problem.. changed to July 1 sailing.. wanted to have our same aft cabin..not sure where people get that they can only book in Oct. yes.. the prices are higher in summer...BUT if one reads the email.. you will see that you can book for the same price.. with on board credit.. go back and read the emails!!

Sorry about that....... guess all the emails didn't have the same options...

Guess it depends on the date.. whatever........

My guess is that they moved to the October dates because they knew the rates would be the same. Kids are still in school in the beginning June and October and not as many people will be sailing with them. They want to keep the rates for their peak months to get as much from everyone as possible.

The good news is that they gave you enough notice to change.
