From Google maps, Pointe Seraphine and La Place Carenage is like across from each other. The main terminal appears to be Pointe Seraphine and the Gem is the only ship in port on that date so the Gem will most likely dock at Pointe Seraphine. La Place Carenage looks like a cargo ship area that is only used when they have two ships in port on the same day

 thank you the Dawn docked at  La Place Carenage not a very passenger friendly area cargo and when you go through the terminal very little shopping and the front door on the curb . very dirty area did not feel safe 

How do yo know what pier the Gem will dock at in St Lucia    Pointe Seraphine or La Place Carenage

thank you 

Can someone advise if I purchased ins with the cruise line or Nation wide cruise ins would the

Ncl is changing ships in Boston for the 2019 Season to the Gem I am great full to see a new ship how ever why such a huge increase in price same deck same location and charged 2 k more ,

there was a recent post on face book said We have done the Dawn to Bermuda 7 years, checking pricing for the Gem for 2019, the same owners suite on the germ will be 3-4K more than this year on the Dawn.

just curious on thoughts . may have to re think my booking for 10 deck 10 inside cabin will pay over 3500.00 for Oct. 2019:cool:

I just called again and got the same answer as last week - we should here by Friday.

I really need to book our flights and hotels

I noticed on another thread that the Nov 12 from San juan is still going and they have their new itinerary ,

I was wondering as well because I fly back to Boston on the 12th . so Boston and San Juan are good.

just arrived today Nov 3,2017 Dawn out of Boston

Hello,

Is there official notification for the port changes on the Dawn out of Boston on Nov. 3rd? Can we book private excursions yet?

I have not heard only that tortola got refund

Here is what ncl.com shows:

 

Sun San Juan, Puerto Rico (EMBARK) --- 9:00 pm Mon At Sea --- --- Tue Castries, St. Lucia 8:00 am 5:00 pm Wed Fort-de-France, Martinique 8:00 am 5:00 pm Thu Basseterre, St. Kitts 8:00 am 5:00 pm Fri St. John's, Antigua 8:00 am 5:00 pm Sat St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands 8:00 am 5:00 pm Sun San Juan, Puerto Rico (DISEMBARK) 6:00 am ---

This must be for Nov 12 I am on the Sailing out of Boston Nov 3 one of the few trips that has not published the changes yet

The state that Puerto Rico is in right now, no power, no water, I find it highly unlikely.

Received notification from NCL yesterday that the Dawn on December 3rd, is departing from San Juan as scheduled. I would post the email if I knew how. Maybe check your spam folder for the email. The only changes are the St Maartin and St Thomas ports. Hope this helps. I will also be on this cruise. The Embassy Suites canceled my reservation so now I'm looking for another beachfront hotel for post cruise stay.

Did the say what St. Maartin and St Thomas ports are replaced with . I called last night and woman told me on the phone that Not going to Tortola as we got a refund for and Excursion.

I called last night got a refund for a Tortola excursion they could not tell me what island Tortola would was being replaced with she did say a couple of islands were being changed but nothing was finalized. SOOOOOO kind of got the impressions she knew. would not spill the beans.

Only thing she would confirm was yes going to San Juan .

JUST HEARD FROM ST CROIX TOURISM DEPARTMENT

Much of the island is still without poweror phones. I have not been up in that area. I would imagine they will be openif they have power. When I had asked if the Mount Pellier Domino Club open inNovember

"It's about all things St. Croix!"

Nov.12-19 is leaving and ending SJ. Barbados, St. Kitts, Martinique, Antiqua, St. Croix. I have NO hotel, was emailed saying closed until Dec. 31, Old SJ Sheraton, can find nothing . I have rebooked air to fly in same day of cruise, the 12th, going straight to cruise ship via NCL transfer so not to be concerned about taxi not being plentiful. Transfer via ncl back to airport post cruise. Was told by a NCL rep when i asked why St. Croix because it is a MESS, still taking people of island as of yesterday., " this will be a great spa day".......yep. that was i was told. There are no excursions available when i called tonight to check for St. C. That tells me they are docking to kill time before docking SAN Juan at 6 am. No ports available for them i'm thinking other than this one. Realize the people need the income from us but if island is in shambles what do they have to share? Oh well. We are going and hoping for the best.

I loved this the last time is was there .

i see on another thread Nov 12 san juan

Posted Today, 03:42 PM

I just received an itinerary change for the Nov. 12 sailing of the Dawn. Still going out of San Juan. Now going to Antigua and St. Croix rather than St Maarten and St. Thomas.

what is going on with Nov 3 on the Dawn out of Boston has any one heard anything ?

people should read the thread of ****** San Juan status **** good info from a person who owns a B n B

We are on the Dawn repo Nov 3 and still don't know where we're going or where we're going to end up.

I spoke to NCL this morning and no decision as of yet there was a price drop she told me I could move my cabin if I wanted.

I got the impression she knew what they were going to release but held back just saying some changes may come out next week she would not commit.

ST Maaten to open Early November

I am on the November 3 cruise out of Boston and await info I see on line

http://www.travelagentcentral.com/destinations/everything-you-need-to-know-about-puerto-rico-post-maria

I also got a refund credit on Jet blue on my flight back to Boston as seats have opened up and a price drop .

they will make changes no charge up till Nov 1. 2017

Don't send money cancel while you can I'm stuck in the dawn on 11/12 out of San Juan and they won't even let me switch to the escape. NCL is expecting people to go down to Puerto Rico when people are trying to escape there. They can't make any decisions on this cruise it is a joke cancel while you can

I am on the NCL DAWN out of Boston on Nov 3, I called them yesterday this of course just about time from them to release info as promised to let us know now they say they are still working on this and I see we only have till Nov 1 to make flight changes . as of this morning ncl still no idea. as far as they were concerned the woman I spoke to it was a go out of boston but have no idea where it is going
