ISLABONITA Posted June 12, 2020 #57 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I am basing it on trying to book, and the memo I posted from an NCL employee showing which ships will begin sailing and when, starting late Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only NCL cruise now displaying on the NCL website for August is on the Encore August 23 from NY to Bermuda but even that cruise is listed as "sold out" in all categories. Everything else has been wiped off their website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not emphatically state that Carnival was in fact sailing only that they had a tentative plan to start with 8 ships out of 3 ports in August and of course it is all predicated on CDC approval. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before and I'll repeat whether the CDC is right or wrong, they hold the cards. When both cruiselines and CDC come to an agreement is when sailing will begin. Approx . 3-4 weeks after the agreement. I just hope the cruise lines and the CDC are TALKING to each other and making some plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival, RCI and NCL will ALL start cruising the SAME time. It's called competition. Just because Carnival is still available to book doesn't mean they are sailing Aug 1. Is it jumping to conclusions or using common sense??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are many conversations going on , what remains to be seen is if the cruiselines are "listening" or trying to push their "ideas" through. CDC is playing hardball , whether right or wrong, it will be more up to the cruiselines to adapt. The cruiselines are basically in a no win situation.

Also i wouldnt assume all will have the same start up date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep checking. Our final payment is due on the 19th, so I have a week. DH just checked Encore. We're on the same cruise on the 8th. Encore shows Bermuda cruises now but no Canadian cruises.

If Cruise Company X says we will begin sailing on a specific date, and Cruise Line Y CEO and the board (and most importantly, the legal team) says "that may not be too wise" I can guarantee that Cruise Line Y will not sail. Potential liability (and the irreparable damage a sailing with a major breakout would cause) FAR outweighs some revenue $$$. Especially since these initial sailings very likely may be loss leaders.

Don't you think the CEO's and their "legal teams" aren't all listening to the same CDC conversations? Is 1 line going to gamble (sail first) and take that hit if something goes amiss and be shut down longer? With what's happening it's more likely all 3 will be in tune with CDC and each other.
