Revised Escape Itinerary January 6 / 13 / 20 / 27

Would it be possible to list new itineraries here as they come out through emails or calls? I am on the Jan. 13th sailing and have not heard anything, but would appreciate any information from you all as it comes in.

Thanks!

Chris

AAAAHHH! I got all excited thinking you had the revised itineraries.

The official word is that we should know in the next week or so how the itineraries are changing.

Sorry about that!! After seeing the three different options for December, I am just dying to know which we will get! I guess I should have phrased the thread title better.

I'm on the same ship. I do like some of the December choices better than others. We may lose a few cruisers if they don't like the new ports. Me? Cruise vs. Michigan winter= cruise wins. LOL

Where did you guys see the new ports...I went on NCL about 10 min ago today and NOV/DEC cruises didn't exist for ESCAPE

You can always look at ncl.com to see what is showing there. The changes show up there pretty quickly, though if an itinerary has not changed there it doesn't mean that it won't in the future.

No worries! It's all good, I am an over planner who is dying to know as well.

Waiting (im)patiently too!

I was at NCL.com last night and saw lots of new/revised itineraries for Escape. In the past there were only 3 sailings when departing from Miami, now there are 8 cruises listed with lots of different port options that Escape hasn't sailed to in the past

Sorry, I just realized you were looking for specific updates or revisions to the January 2018 sailings on Escape. I see now that they are still showing the "old" Eastern itinerary

I would imagine they are taking this a month at a time so most likely you will not hear anything for awhile. I can imagine how anxious everyone is to hear about changes, but there are so many ships involved, so many cruise lines, so few ports can handle mega ships and we still have a while to go before the hurricane season really dwindles down. I would guess the worst of the season is over or will be in another week or so.

Those Escape itineraries seem to be alternating in December so I am wondering if we will get the "private island" routine on January 6th. I cannot imagine the USVI/Tortola itinerary being back in operation in early January.

We cruise February 3rd and I agree 100% Cruise vs Upper Peninsula of Michigan winter=Cruise Wins!!!!!

It's too early.

I'm on a Feb 17 cruise out of Miami on the Escape. At the suggestion of a FB poster, I googled "<insert random Carribean location> cruise port schedule 2018" a few times. The Escape was listed in the schedules for Falmouth, Jamaica on Mon, Feb 19 and in Grand Cayman on Tue, Feb 20.

Looks like it will be at the same ports on the same days during your week.

Searching other ports didn't bear any fruit. A lot of them are not updated and, frankly, I haven't had time just yet to check too many of the possibilities. Given it's going from Jamaica on Monday to GC on Tuesday, I suspect it will continue West to Central America and/or Mexico?

I'm good with anywhere. Even if we stay on the boat for one or two ports, it breaks up the New England winter!

For 1/6 Escape sailing: yesterday the Escape was booked for 4 ports(Stirrup Cay, Falmouth, Nassau and Grand Cayman). I'm sure they're still shuffling things as today the Escape is only on 2 port schedules(Nassau, Grand Cayman). I did receive an email today stating that revised itineraries through the end of December are completed and are available for booking at NCL.com. It also stated that they are still assessing ports.

Other cruise lines are adding St. Thomas and St. Maarten back to their itineraries as early as mid- November.

Source please. Or at least more concrete info (Lines/Ships/Dates/ Itineraries/etc.) please.

I am on the Escape Feb 3-10 and have been able to confirm 3 new ports through the local port authority websites. Now just waiting to hear it officially from NCL.

Which websites are you using to confirm the new ports?

Grand Cayman is a lovely island that I would be happy to visit again so I'm waiting for official ports for our January Escape.

We just returned from the Escape Western itinerary and ran into a lot of cruisers that re-booked to join us from their cancelled cruises. It's a great ship no matter what ports she sails to.

Just Google Nassau Port Authority for example and search the calendar for your week. Since the Nov-Dec changes were announced, I started looking at those ports. Most ports have an easy website to figure out. Good Luck!

In reference to St Maarten:

Thanks for trying to help but that article doesn't have specifics about cruise lines adding the island back on itineraries.

It merely says that the port is to reopen to pleasure cruises on 11/11.
