Has anyone had any other reports on this?  Thinking of booking via the ship (NCL) just to guarantee a return ride back in case the cabs don't want to wait since it is not close to the port.  

Any great breweries to see near the ports?  Been to Boston and Portland many times.

Great!  Did you sign up for the meet and greet or the pub crawl that I put together for that sailing?  Hopefully we can meet up this cruise!

I have not signed up for M&M yet.  Fingers crossed we may be able to sail.

Have so many air credits but still hesitant to book air.  Spoke with NCL yesterday and still unsure of March sailings and what it will look like.  I have 3 more days to move that cruise and keep all my perks.  Thinking, unfortunately, that may be the best option.  If NCL changes to just a shorter cruise, I would be stuck in Florida for a few days if air was locked in for a week.  As it looks now January and possibly into February may be canceled and or altered.  Test cruises hopefully will start in January.  Such stress!

Thanks, Cole! My search didn't pull it up. 

Looking for recommendations for  hotels in San Juan for cruise on Freedom in January 2020.   Prices appear to be all over the place. 

Anyone been here or have reviews?

Looking forward to trying this place. Loved the Jose Cuervo tour last year. Will also keep Mr Santos in mind :)

I am on this cruise too and unconfirmed it is the standard western ports that they are sailing week prior and after. Belize, Roatan, Cozumel, costa maya. Cannot book excursions yet since not official

I agree and my only reasoning is we've booked this to sail last Nov Eastern and NCL canceled it on us due to a private charter. Finally negotiated this sailing and again got stuck with Western. Bummer couldn't grab some southern islands. Understanding eastern is a mess and that's devasting to see. Such heartbreak. My rant :(

Any info about these acts? Pros .... cons... or 10292

Yes we will carry off hopefully around 7-8. That's the time we have been getting off normally. The issue was we had a different cruise out of Mia and NCL canceled it due to a charter but our flights were booked. Couldn't change air without costing $2200! Had to find a cruise that would work with these original cruise dates and this was only option. RCCL said it should be fine. If we miss it then guess will just deal with rebooking. So rather fly FLL and cheaper but it is what it is now.

Thanks all. Ship transfer is $30 each seems to be cheapest. Arrive in at 11:30 on departure day. However return flight is also 11:30 and cannot take ship transfer too early. We will do walk off bags but will research options.

Just went thru this with NCL for Nov sailing. Nightmare. Offered 50 obc and small amount to change air which was laughable. To rebook air it was $2200. Switched to rccl sailing. Good luck

Original cruise was cancelled by cruise line. Found a different one out of Fll but already had air to Mia. Best transfer? Ship offers $30 pp each way. Cannot switch airports.

Sorry to read this. Just went thru this for Escape Nov 2016. Good luck all it wasn't an easy switch especially if you have air booked :(

Still no word from NCL. Made the switch to Escape in Oct. Same category no upgrades (at this time). Made air switch now hoping to get the difference of fees reimbursed. Guess NCL figures it doesn't have to cater further to cruisers. Its unfortunate. Well I will keep trying. GL all...will keep you updated if I have any success :)

please advise how your TA makes out. I wont ask you to reveal your agency but if you get a name at NCL I'd appreciate it....my agency has 3 affected bookings and she said they are not budging. I still haven't heard back but will update when/if I do.

anyone else have any luck dealing with NCL guest relations in getting air refunded or upgrades? I have tried several times and no one will work with me. filled out a form but no response. TA said NCL isn't budging on $300 pp and $50 obc. agency not fighting for anything. any tips or advice. looking to change to another date but hate to incur more expenses. very frustrating working with ncl as a whole. this is 3rd and last cruise with them. absolutely back to RCCL.

This year's voyage takes us out of the port of Miami, Florida on November 5th on the newest ship in Norwegian's fleet: the Norwegian Escape. Once settled in, we welcome you to enjoy a couple days at sea and get to know your fellow guests on our way to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. From there, we move on to Tortola, British Virgin Islands. After another day at sea to enjoy suiting and the sun, we arrive at our final port of Nassau, Bahamas, before returning to Miami. We welcome you aboard with us this coming November to enjoy the sun, the sea, and running around with friends in suit. Please follow the links to find out more, and we hope to see you on the 2016 Furry Cruise. If you have any questions just email furrycruise@comcast.net

Tried calling NCL Guest Relations...after being on hold about 40 min worst service ever. No assistance and refused to let me speak with a supervisor No questions answered and was hoping to rebook. Kept repeating saying $300 air and find forms online. NCL web is not user friendly. Hoping when someone calls me back I can get some answers from cust service. So disappointed in this whole transaction..understandable not people on the phones (I've been there) but seriously that's your job to provide answers!

My air is not covered and changing weeks the taxes:port fees are different. Hotel also not covered. Such a nightmare.

Just got word ours was cancelled too after getting a super deal. Air was booked from Boston :( So disappointing. How can they book a whole ship for a charter on a vaca/holiday week? Now have to see about switching to another cruise. This would have been my 3rd NCL all others with RCCL...not feeling great about this at all!

nice they limit the sailings you can take and whatever cabins will be available because they are booking a "charter". Ty for the $50 OBC ....please!

Review of the ferry trip please

Was the ferry ride rough going from town docks vs red hook. Haven't heard good reviews about the trip but want to try that excursion this time
