Teegiee Posted March 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just got an email from Norweigan about a change of itinerary for our Xmas and NYE cruise. They basically called it ITINERARY ENHANCEMENT INFORMATION and informed us that is now a NZ only cruise with added stops in Dunedin and Picton, plus scenic cruising through 3 of the sounds. We have the option to cancel, swap, or stay the same and get $150 OBC per cabin. The previous itentarary was a bit weird, stopping in Melbourne on Xmas Day and Burnie on Boxing day when nothing would be open, so this is good for us.

Great news for you with that change and some OBC for good measure. :D However, I am sure some people will be disappointed on missing out on the Aussie ports.

tazza_0712 Posted March 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2017 It seems like a better deal all round, although I do wonder if this may compound some of Norwegian's bad publicity down under. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Sounds like a positive change for most. But those planning Christmas Day with family in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriseth Posted March 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2017 NCL are now getting renowned for changing itineraries. I was on the Star at Christmas so we are getting use to NCL changes What they don't do when they say complete refunds is give it on already booked flights and hotels If you want to spend 5 days at sea sounds like a great cruise Perhaps Melbourne doesn't want NCL back after the Star broke down!!!

The_Big_M Posted March 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you want to spend 5 days at sea sounds like a great cruise Two other NZ ports replace the AU ports so the number of sea days don't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ozdevil Posted March 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2017 i think that is a win win situation gives you more oppurtunity to spend in New Zealand. Like most places in Australia Xmas day stop over is going to be a quite affair and waste of a good port unless you have family or friends that you are planning festivities with . and i would dare say most will be with their own families spending xmas if it is only friends that you planned on. Boxing Day in Burnie is pretty well going to be a bit quite as well, Shops maybe open but ya will be competing to get a bargin and ya may strike it lucky with shore excursions around Burnie. So i think its a win win for those that are choosing this cruise for New Zealand and not necessarily the melbourne and Burnie stop overs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter69 Posted March 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It would be the best if they swapped Burnie & Melbourne around. X-mas in Burnie Different. But Melbourne Boxing Day incredible. Cricket & party atmosphere all around city... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket & party atmosphere all around city... if the ship departs from Sydney it doesnt make sense to head to burnie then back to melbourne as ya back tracking i agree that boxing day is better to be in Melbourne as there is a world more to do and see with cricket and sales etc but it would cost more to back track Edited March 8, 2017 by ozdevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Bourke St where you're likely to get trampled by sale shoppers. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well stay on the ship and do the inch of gold sale.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
