when is Leo 1 scheduled to be completed in 2022, summer or fall?

I don't think we will hear much about Leo 1 for several weeks, if not months, due to the new administration and the obvious focus on the vaccine and getting the existing ships back into service. I am super excited about this ship and will likely book her - so I want to know all the details, too! I just think we're going to have a wait longer than expected/hoped. Hopefully I am wrong!

The Sky is a highly profitable ship for them, I know it's the oldest next to the Spirit, but I'd be surprised. I'd bet the Star would be the one to go given it's had tons of problems over the years. But who knows.

There are rumors that NCL was going to build a pier and add some more attractions (slides, lazy river, etc.) but that was pre-COVID, so not sure if any new upgrades will actually happen, likely not for several years at this point. "NCL is embarking on design and construction of Phase III at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. Facilities include a new pier which can accommodate two passenger ships simultaneously, water attractions, pools, a lazy river and new beaches. A new Bahamian Village will be constructed with food and beverage venues for guests as well as dormitories for service staff

Was just googling about and came across this description of future GSC improvements from the construction company that did the previous improvements at GSC and is currently buidling the new terminal in Miami. I wonder if COVID has cancelled any of these plans and what may be actually coming: "NCL is embarking on design and construction of Phase III at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas.

exciting and hopefully it's somewhat revealing given everything else going on in the world...is "inside cruiser" another website or forum? I'd like to check it out if possible.

Norwegian will survive, they've got enough cash to last them the next 16+ months or so without any revenue...unless Carnival or MSC or RC buy them out....unlikely given the market realities

I am scheduled to be in St. Thomas on Thursday, 2/18/21 from 10am to 7pm via the NCL Bliss. Looks like the next available ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay isn't until 12noon. Is that too late to truly enjoy Trunk Bay? Would I be better off doing a ship excursion?

Scheduled to visit this new port/dock via the NCL Bliss in February 2021. I had read that there was going to be a water park of some kind with slides/lazy river, etc. Is that still happening? Looks like a popular excursion in the general area are the waterfalls? Also heard something about a cable car that goes to the top of a mountain?

Currently booked on the Bliss, coming to Puerto Playa on 2/16/2021. Looks like the waterfall excursion is very popular. Any other recommendations? The cable car to the mountain top sounds pretty cool.

BINGO! We are in the exact same boat and totally aligned/on the same page Our cruise is the 4 day NYC to Bermuda on the Encore from April 22-26...

My PCC told me yesterday (who knows how trustworthy/accurate/reliable) that they are hoping to reveal more details about the 1st Leo ship in mid to late April. Smartly so, they want to maximize their press/PR so they are letting Virgin and others have the spot light now.

sorry to hi-jack this thread, but just saw that the Gem will be in drydock in Boston in November 2020 for about two weeks (11/13 to 11/29). I wonder if that is just maintenance/paint/new furniture, etc. Or does a two week stop indicate more than the routine stuff?

thank you!

we are on the 4 day Encore to Bermuda cruise in April with port time of 8am to 5pm. What time is all aboard, 4 or 4:30pm?
