I received an official email (from NCL corporate) regarding a revised itinerary for the December 22 sailing.

 

Depart Hong Kong as scheduled

Overnight in Da Nang (subject to change)

Overnight in Phu My

One full day in Bangkok

Arrive in Singapore on Jan 4 8pm.

 

Taiwan, Ha Long Bay, Sihanoukville and Ko Samui ports have been cancelled.

That's very confusing I've just received an email from NCL for the Dec 22 sailing with the following itinerary:

Thu 22/12 Hong Kong China 07:00

Fri 23/12 Hong Kong China 14:00

Sat 24/12 at sea

Sun 25/12 Ha-long bay Vietnam 08:00 17:00

Mon 26/12 Danang Vietnam 08:00 18:00

Tue 27/12 at sea

Wed 28/12 Nha Trang Vietnam 08:00 17:00

Thu 29/12 at sea

Fri 30/12 at sea

Sat 31/12 Sihanookville Cambodia 08:00 18:00

Sun 01/01 at sea

Mon 02/01 Ko Samui Thailand 08:00 17:00

Tue 03/01 at sea

Wed 04/01 at sea

Thu 05/01 Singapore 06:00

I am on the current cruise and it is not fixed as we are going slow and missing ports and only have one functional azipod. They did bring in a technician from the manufacturer so perhaps it will be fixed in time for the next sailing, but I tend to doubt it. Someone posted above that they will be offering a 50% refund if you take the cruise so they are expecting changes to the itinerary.

I'm expecting changes. I contacted them via their Cruise Norwegian twitter account yesterday and got a reply saying there will be a revised itinerary and detailing their refund offer. They don't seem to have told the UK based staff.

Still looking forward to the cruise

We're booked on the 22 Dec sailing. Just queried this with my UK based NCL Consultant and they say that everything has been 'fixed' and the Dec 22 cruise will follow it's advertised itinerary. They did put a rider on this that this may change once on board.

Not sure what to believe but either way looking forward to the cruise.:)
