Humph!  They cancelled my Alaska cruise (also said for redeployment) and I didn't get anything but a refund. 

Well, let’s see if we actually get anything! We won’t hold our breath !

AlanaJ, expect your FCC to be automatic (but don't expect to see it until June 25th).  If you are wanting a refund, you will likely need to apply.  For our Sept 25 Cruise, the refund form is not even available until until July 6 - 17.  You should have received an email from NCL....mine was dated June 16th.  However, if they don't have your email address, you can still look on their website.  At the top it usually has information on COVID and cancelled sailings.  Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your reply! Our emails were dated 9th June to cancel both legs of cruise (We were not too surprised) but as mentioned in email it states automatic refund and 10% FCC, lets see what happens on 25th June!

For cruises cancelled prior to final payment date, the refunds (so far anyway) have been automatic.  I think it took around 2 weeks before there was a credit to my credit card - that timeline will vary depending on how your credit card processes refunds.  You will not get any FCC.

Thank you so much for,your reply.  They did say in the email we would get a 10% FCC which is better than nothing!

Our 2 B2B  cruises departing Hawaii To Tahiti 23 Oct and Tahiti to Sydney 6 Nov have been suspended. We were told a refund would be automatically processed but I see other people have had to apply for it.  I checked our Latitudes account and the cruises are no longer showing on the account but we don’t have the refund or the FCC either. Is this normal? (Whatever normal is these days, lol!)

This is a wonderful blog, so informative, thank you for taking the time!  Can you tell me which ports were tendered please? TIA

Yes of course. Rincon Tipico. Simple, local food. No English menus and no English spoken. Disregard the meal of the day and order the chicken being cooked in the flames of a huge old-fashioned rotisserie.  30 quetzales for the meal, including two sides and a non-alcoholic beverage. 

Thank you! We need to get some Quetzales (assumed we could use US$ !), never assume!

Not for most things, but it really depends on what you intend to do. For example, you would not have been able to have the fabulous lunch we had in Antigua at a place mostly frequented by locals unless you had quetzales, since they take only their own currency and no credit cards.  But if you are willing to use your ATM card at a safe location, you should be okay. 

Do you recall which restaurant you had the fabulous lunch in Antigua?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply!  We shall  not swop our port credit for SDP then!

We are reading all these posts with interest as we embark on 24 Jan at San Fran! Is there any chance anyone can post of photo of Cagneys menu with prices? Just wondering how it compares to  buying 3 or 4 dining pack on board !

Full transit !  Staying on when arriving in NYC to do a bit of Caribbean !

We have cancelled this cruise and booked a Panama Canal instead! 

No apology necessary!  It did make me recheck our sail date tho!! That’s so kind of you to give me that link, I will check it out!  We took the Jewel in Feb this year from Sydney to Singapore and that was the best Roll Call EVER!  Not sure why some work and some don’t!!

I am going crazy!  Our cruise is as the header states 14 FEB 2020!

Hi! That’s great, I will take a look at them!  Our cruise from Sydney is 14th Jan 2020 (NOT 13th Jan ) so I would like to start chatting with people who are going on that sailing!

Hello! We are Laura and Alan looking forward to meeting people on this cruise to New Zealand!

lt would be great to get an active Roll Call going and is a great way to organize private tours, meet new people

and price watch the cruise!!
