Hello, I am on the same cruise party of four, and we agree that taking a cruise to be in the middle of a warzone would be insane! Vacations are to be enjoyed and relaxed. It is incredible not to have any communication from NCL at all. 

I agree 100%

No insurance in the world covers cancellation due to war situation. Not even those with "Cancel For Any Reason". Just find and read small print.
Quote from Nationwide CFAR insurance policy Q&A: "The policy does not offer coverage for the threat of a Terrorist Incident or any war-related activity. See the policy for further details."

NCL is waiting, calculating. Unfortunatelly the situation will get more complicated. This is not just another local incident. Israel can not back up, they will go to all the way, otherwise they will have rockets again shortly.  NCL will have to cancel at the end. They do not have any right to force people to travel the dangerous part of the world. Who will in behalf of NCL declare GEM next cruises as safe? Who will take responsibility if incident happens - NCL CEO? By prolonging their decision to do the inevitable, they are doing more damage to the people, because they will, at best, have to modify their flights, and pay fees to do that. Some will lose their money due to non refundable fares. Someone here wrote "Ships are still calling to Alexandria and Middle East ports. Yes they do, those that have to pass the Suez channel. But who will dare to take a whole day bus tour to Cairo. Such a great target, bus full of US tourists, and plenty of time and places to do the job. NCL will wait until the end. At the end they will have to refund... Calculating till the very end NCL are doing damage to them self. According to some post here I am sure that NCL people are reading this forum. I read many times here - "No more NCL". Not good for future company image.

Thank you for your words. I am one that is still waiting for answers!! I have insurance but of course not for war terrorism

We are on the same cruise November 1-11 Istanbul to Athens.  I called NCL, nothing, no info.  We are flying in a week to Istanbul and are very worried stying there.  If Israel and Egypt are cancelled, this cruise should be cancelled. But NCL refuse to give details. We're very worried to travel in that region at this time.

I agree with you! What can we do? I don't want to lose my money!!

If you booked thru a travel agent, they will get the official notifications. You need to have them make the changes for you and get the credits...that is what you are using them for.

I talked to my travel agent a few hours ago, and as of now, they have no update.  Others on this feed have mentioned that they have received information regarding receiving credit.  Where are you getting your info from?

Hi.  I called NCL about two days ago and I was told I could get a credit if I canceled or I could accept the trip “as is”. At the time I called it was still a “Haifa” departure.   I’m located in the USA and thats the word the rep gave me.   But, I decided to wait and see until the official change of itinerary came out before I decided.  I am not sure what they would tell me if I called now though since they’ve issued a revised plan.  Hope that helps!   Hope everyone is having a good day.  

I notified my travel agency a few hours ago, and as of now, there is no update!.. Why have you gotten word, and I havent received anything, has anyone else been told they can get a credit if they cancel?

Submitted my airline change claim yesterday with all supporting documentation and I received notice they were crediting my card this morning.  Well done NCL.  They made it super smooth.  

Did you book your cruise directly thru NCL or a travel agency?

😕 NCL Cruise line, or, Norwegian Airline?

So what you are saying no official email will be sent to us.  Do we have to notify them?

That's great news, Do I notify airlines for a change claim, and they will tell me what supporting documents I will need?

You have received a revised plan from NCL. When?

Why hasn't NCL updated their passengers leaving from Istanbul to Israel, Egypt and other countries. I chose original intiernary. I paid to visit those countries. If I'm not going there give me a refund!
