Not happy with the change. Glad they are honoring my booking for July 2024, but this will definitely impact my future cruising with NCL.

Interestingly enough.... the Joy is being refurbished and will be ADDING spa rooms---- https://www.travelagewest.com/Travel/Cruise/norwegian-joy-redesign

That may be, but my itinerary that they emailed at the time of booking says the category of room I purchased. So, they will have to honor it or face a lawsuit (if they decide not to provide something equivalent.)

Mine is paid in full. If Spa is not included, then they will be providing 100% refund or an upgraded cabin. No doubt about that.

I am still waiting for my cruise agent to call me back. They hadn't heard anything about this at all and were just as confused as I was.

.

If you look at the deck plans they now have "For bookings before January 7, 2024" and "For Bookings after January 7, 2024" on Blicc, Breakaway and other Thermal Spa ships.

I bought the pass on our last cruise in the cruise terminal. Easy peasy. But, if they are phasing out the spa rooms, I am not sure it will be that easy any longer.

So, I just noticed the room I booked on the Breakaway was originally B9 (A spa room); now, however, on my itinerary online it shows a BA room--- same room number. I have a call into NCL, but the rep I spoke with had no idea what was happening and said he would find out and call back. Also, have a letter coming from NCL today, according to Informed Delivery.

It was literally called "Beach Escape" I don't recall a lighthouse, but I wasn't really paying attention to that. This is a link to what it is, but we booked through NCL. https://tickettofun.travel/tour/beach-escape-with-open-bar/

Cruised on NCL Breakaway March 12 out of NOLA. We bid on a Spa Balcony, $450. On day of embarkation, we received a letter in our stateroom around 7pm with our upgrade to the Spa Balcony. Moved from room 5124 to room 14118

Husband and I cruised NCL Breakaway March 12th-19th. First port was Costa Maya. We opted for the Beach Escape Excursion. Pros: Beautiful beach front and a pool, unlimited drinks, relaxation, amazing food. LOTS of shopping Cons: We literally could not relax as someone was trying to sell us something (cigars, NFL merch, blankets, etc) every few minutes. It was annoying on so many levels. The same salespeople would visit us continuously with different products and we repeatedly had to say no. We eventually went back to the ship early.
