You're thread topic is misleading. You WANT to cancel, not NEED to cancel.

 

However:

• Norwegian Sky, September 8 from Miami: The ship’s three-day Bahamas cruise has been cancelled. We will be providing a full refund to all guests, plus a 50% future cruise credit.

No, "need" is the correct word. But thanks for the input.

Hi there - How stressful. I'm super sorry. I would wait it out and see what the cruise line has to say – giving you the best options that have a least impact to you. And just ignore those that are snarky – I get it. Your mom and you're worried about your kids and you want to make sure that this post gets the most coverage. Hang in there.

Thanks for the empathy!! We had looked forward to my "birthday cruise" for quite some time. So relieved we won't lose the money and can rebook.

What a relief!! NCL made the right call. Now I can focus on my home and my kids. Thanks all for the advice!! Be safe.

So relieved they cancelled the cruise. This storm is incredibly dangerous.

The Sky can do Cozumel. Check what it has done historically in previous years under the same circumstance (last year as an example). The itinerary will be changed to Cozumel, assuming the Bahamas will be impacted.

 

Keep in mind cruises can travel a lot faster. Selected speeds are a balance between less stress for the engines and fuel efficiency. When circumstances call for it, cruise lines will run the engines faster. This is one of those times.

Interesting. Even with going to Mexico in lieu of the Bahamas, I would think the ship is going to have a problem getting back into Miami on Monday morning. The storm is expected over south Florida Sunday and Monday.

Why another thread. You have already posted on the other thread that you are going to stay home with your kids.

So that my question can reach everyone and not only those who are reading the second thread. Thanks.

My husband and I are booked for this weekend's Bahamas cruise on the Sky. We live in South Florida and category 4 Irma is a major problem for us. I am hoping NCL cancels the cruise. But if they do not, there is no way we can leave our children behind in this storm. We DO have trip insurance through Expedia but it doesn't cover for any and all cancellations, and I'm not sure it will cover for this.

Does anyone have any advice on addressing the issue with NCL? Have you experienced anything like this? I am wondering if they will issue a voucher or something to apply the cost of this cruise to a future one?

My husband and I are booked for this cruise, but I live in South Florida. There is no way I can leave my four kids with this storm coming, changed itinerary or not. We have trip insurance but I'm not sure it will cover a cancellation for a hurricane looming over my home. Does anyone know if NCL will over a voucher or something if we cancel??
