Advance Booking Question

[violettewaits]

Hello!

 

I am a newbie so pardon if this comes off as silly but currently I am in the market for a cruise in early 2016. There was a great 12-day Caribbean itinerary on the NCL site a month or two ago, but now, that cruise is no longer listed on the website. Looking at different TA sites still shows that cruise.

 

My question is: Does this happen often? Why would Norwegian pull the cruise yet it still be available to book via outside agencies? Is it a risk if I DO book it through a TA, because it may get cancelled?

 

I'm really, really set on this particular itinerary/dates so I'd like to get my booking in as far in advance as possible.

 

Any advice is appreciated!!

Could be a bug in the system...if you give more info like the dates and the ship maybe someone can help.

Seems like this would be better answered by NCL directly... why don't you call them? If it's available there's no penalty booking over the phone...

It's the Breakaway out of NY January 3rd, 2016. It's been MIA off NCL's site for about a month now, but keeps popping up on different TA sites.

 

I will try to give them a call, as well.

Definitely a glitch - Call. If you search for Breakaway in Jan 2016 it only lists one cruise - a 2 night but they have a 19day listed leaving late December which looks like it is 7day Bahamas & Florida followed by a 12day Southern Caribbean.

Thank you all! I called and it is a glitch. They mentioned their Epic and Breakaway listings have been having some issues on the site. Good to know!!
