jlyn1216 Posted April 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok, I know of the itinerary change, but why did they take the cruise off the site for all the dates? Is it sold out or are they just updating? Hopefully with a drop in price. Can anyone let me know what is going on? Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlyn1216 Posted April 18, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I know it is so odd. My friends want to book it now because it is going to San Juan and they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinna1 Posted April 18, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2009 All of the Jan.2010 cruises on Gem "vanished" since Thursday, of course just my luck I'm booked for a 01/24:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the new itinerary by logging in to My NCL. I had already booked golf excursions for Barbados and Antigua - now Barbados is gone and there are no excursions listed for Antigua. Anyone know what will happen? Wish they had at least sent an e-mail - not fond of getting into Puerto Rico so late (although I do like the longer day on St Thomas).

Addictedtwo Posted April 18, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 18, 2009 *****.com are showing the Jan 2010 sailing dates with the new itin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinna1 Posted April 18, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I did not book directly with NCL used a TA, so logging in to see the changes is out of the question. Someone did post an e-mail received from NCL which states the changes are due to a whales migration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlyn1216 Posted April 18, 2009 Author #14 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I know why the change, But i wonder why they dates were taken off the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they had at least sent an e-mail - not fond of getting into Puerto Rico so late (although I do like the longer day on St Thomas). I received my email about this yesterday. I am assuming that the Antigua and St. Thomas excursions have been temporarily removed because they need to find out what is available on the new days that we will be docking there. In St. Thomas we're also there longer which means they may be able to offer more than they previously did. It's just a matter of being patient.

Got Tequila? Posted April 18, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Anyone else curious as to why the email, about the whales causing the change, is signed by the Senior VP of Revenue Management??? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely believe that when they adjusted our arrival into St. Thomas this year on this same cruise to an hour later, that it was because of the whales. This however is just a money-saving load of hooey. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This however is just a money-saving load of hooey. :rolleyes: It was also just pointed out to me that we leave Tortola back to NY at the same time....why wasn't this adjusted. I think a few of the 10 day cruises got into NY a bit late this past season so why didn't they adjust or just get rid of Tortola? Why had they already changed the itinerary for 2011 a few months ago when they were posted...did they know about the whales for 2011 then? Oh well, since this is our only NCL option out of NY for the Winter months I guess we'll just be glad that we do have a ship in NY and make the best of it.

dinna1 Posted April 18, 2009 #19 Share Posted April 18, 2009 And how about them giving us an extra hour at arrival back, anyone noticed it's 10am instead of 9am as it was this year? Probably their way of trying to keep our chat here down, "Don't blame us blame the whales!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm sure they'll get the new excursions up sometime soon. I was just wondering what happened to the ones I booked. Guess I'll just wait until everything's up and then see if the Antigua one still is there. Thanks for replying Cubechick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlyn1216 Posted April 18, 2009 Author #21 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, I guess it is no big deal going to San Juan I have always wanted to go there. If we are not going as far south then there should be some discount in price. Since not as much fuel won't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahine56 Posted April 18, 2009 #22 Share Posted April 18, 2009 They changed Feburary also, but I didn't receive any email about it. If it wasn't for here I wouldn't of even known. Thank you. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
