Hello everyone! Preparing my first-ever cruise in 1 month on Encore. We were about to book our shore excursions (took us a while to make up our minds and budget) just to find out that several of the excursions have disappeared overnight. I know this for a fact because yesterday evening we were browsing the options and made a decision just to find out this morning that a couple of them are no longer there. We are exactly 1 month away from sailing, could it be related to this or does this mean those excursions are already sold out? Does NCL keep some seats to be sold once on-board or should we book some other excursion before our 2nd and 3rd options sell out too? In case that info could be useful, I'm looking at Cabo San Lucas (Baja Highlights excursion), Puerto Quetzal (Colonial Antigua in English) and Panama City (Gamboa Aerial Tram). Thanks!

Hello everyone, New here even though I've been reading the forum for several months as I'm going on my first-ever cruise in about 1.5 months on Encore to Panama Canal. I got the upgrade email and wanted to check what could be a wise bid based on current prices BUT it looks like the cruise is NOT displayed in NCL's website nor any major TA. That triggered my doubts on whether this means the ship is completely sold out as there are still similar cruises still available (The Sun on OCT30 or Bliss NOV15) as well as some other cruises for that time are being displayed even though all categories show a "sold out". Does it mean the ship is likely to be sailing at almost 100% capacity and hence it's already retrieved from everywhere? I would have expected the cruise to be still available on the website with all cabins & categories displayed as "sold out" so I'm not sure if there might be something else going on. Thanks!
