Hi, Judy in Arkansas speaking here. We're planning to sail on Sky Princess, so I took a look at the M6 to see if I could find info for you on the VTG website I use to plan my trips. I found a symbol, so looked at the legend to see what it meant. I've pasted below what I found. Looks like if you're booking to use your balcony at sea, this is not the category for you. 

Balcony access when in port only

I see your suggestion "unfollow the topic". Is that clear on the site? I'll have to go back to Roll Call to see if I can find it.

Thank you, Jenn. How do I turn off notifications so posts won't show up in my inbox?

Logged in now. Okay. Thanks. Shmoo and thinfool. I guess I'll have to endure all those messages coming into my inbox of people posting on that Roll Call. How do I turn off notifications? This is my first time on the site since the change.

Still nothing on NLC uk , my booking still says the Gem and i haven`t received any email / info from NCL . Am i surprised NO :(

I only saw my changes because I logged in to my NCL account. It's all there, and it's all good.

I'm on the 12/6/18 cruise and my cabin was switched over to the Breakaway over the weekend.

Yes, I logged into my NCL account Sunday and saw that my repositioning cruise had been moved to Breakaway and would leave Manhattan on October 27 instead of the 28th. Today I was able to see the complete itinerary, and it had some changes - a change of port from Bonaire to Tortola and two additional ports, St. Lucia and Cozumel. Nine ports altogether! All is good.

Quite a different experience between Breakaway and Gem -- not at all similar other than they are both NCL ships and will sail out of NYC.:(

 

 

 

The Breakaway will be sailing out of New Orleans as of 11-11-2018, as it's repositioning from NYC on a 14-day cruise through the Caribbean to New Orleans leaving NYC on October 28, 2018, and I will be on it. Currently booked on the Gem which will now stay in NYC. I hear there will be automatic transferring of bookings from Gem to Breakaway . It will all be good.

How will the Breakaway get to NOLA? Will the TA from Copenhagen be changed or will there be a new cruise from NYC to NOLA? Would love that.

I think the itineraries all fit. Breakaway does the TA from Copenhagen on October 16, goes into dry dock, and on October 28 sails out of NYC on a 14-day repositioning to New Orleans . We are currently booked on what was to be the Gem's move to NOLA. It is my understanding our booking will be automatically transferred to Breakaway and all our prices are protected. There will have to be some cabin rearranging since the ships are different, but I think it'll all be good.

We are scheduled on the Gem NYC to NOLA 10/28 to 11/11/18, but we have not received any notification about changes or cancelations. I would hope we would get first shot at the replacement repositioning cruise, probably at a higher price.

We are also booked on the repositioning cruise on the Gem in October 2018, and I have read that the transfer will be automatic, and all prices will be protected. That's good because we already have the gratuities added, and we also have the (free) beverage package with that service charge added. Those charges should stay the same as when we originally booked the Gem. I have heard that October 24 is the magic date to see Breakaway's itineraries and prices. I bet we'll hear from our travel agent before that date. I really think it's all going to be good.
