Siobhan Posted August 30, 2019 #477 Share Posted August 30, 2019 We are due to be on the Sun on Monday but looks like it will be Wednesday at the earliest that it could leave. Really wish NCL would issue some updates 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It says get the refund 9/20 does that mean I have to wait until 9/20 to book my next cruise? Plus, I paid with their new finance program UPLift so do I just keep paying for a cruise I’m not going on? And looks like no credit discount for future cruises either if you cancel just a credit for the cruise fare only? Now what if we go and cannot get on the ship 9/4 due to damage then is it again just a 100% fare credit after you spent all that extra money to be there and wait for them to go? Sorry I’m just feeling overwhelmed and sad all i got back for my shortened 4 day cruise to 2 day was full credit in future cruise credits, Really think they should have refunded money. Im not leaving one afternon going to coca cay and returning next morning, you cant or dont know if you can even fly into aiports. I opted cancel and fly to aruba Link to post Share on other sites

gapeachcruzr Posted August 30, 2019 #487 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I have seen multiple postings from different people who are on on the Breakaway in Cozumel that the Captain has made an announcement that they were leaving Cozumel today. They were told that they were going to be back in port Sunday as scheduled. Nothing official from NCL on this yet. Edited August 30, 2019 by gapeachcruzr 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We may be on a cruise to nowhere as well. There's not many places we could get to with the storm still out there I would think. I don't know that we could get down to PR or St Thomas area, Nassau could be a mess, HMC will likely be a mess. Bermuda is an option, but not likely with no berths left. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

PelicanBill Posted August 30, 2019 Author #495 Share Posted August 30, 2019 So the slowdown continues with FL landfall 2am Tuesday, so now ships are rushing to return to port and back out Sunday. Very dangerous conditions still expected all over Florida, no change in path to landfall or strength, just speed slowing which is worse. But that turn I mentioned this morning is even sooner, running up I-95 now, which makes for the center of the storm all along the coast. terrible for storm surge and wind. Freeport is going to take a terrible beating first. I am getting plugged in to my island sources tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

orlandok Posted August 30, 2019 #498 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Marine Traffic says no cruise ships. There is a big oil tanker there now. I imagine that if they can they will work quick to make it seaworthy and get it out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am still getting nowhere with them "Swine flu" was declared and all ships to Mexico could not go. We were en route when it happened. Princess came through with a new trip and vouchers before the trip started. Everyone was posting to Cruise critic and comparing deals. Carnival did not offer much but as pressure mounted because of what the other lines were doing, eventually they raised the ante. Best wishes-sorry so late getting back to you, I had hurricane prep at the house to do! Link to post Share on other sites
