Further, unless you have an underlying condition (even at my age-72) like obesity, diabetes, or immune issues, the risk of death is something like .05%.
Have already taken some week long getaways to R.I. & Maine & places inbetween . Followed all proper procedures and never saw any real issues. Having just had my yearly physical at my age, as well , 72 , there ain't a thing wrong with me , except being a pain in the butt to my wife !! If I gotta wear a mask in public in a floating petri dish , is that really going to help. Its the mingling that will be missed..

a math problem to consider.. ships resume cruising..guidelines are all in place..( i realize some bookings were already cancelled )..however , maybe still too many passengers on board. Will they do something like the airlines ? If they bump you , you get an additional discount ?
Personally , I waited too long and I'm not leaving ! Who do they call 1st ? Latitudes last..old people first..

I cancelled my past March cruise 3 days before NCL cancelled. Knowing my 2 cruises per year , I called my PCC to cancel and re-book Nov.. After looking at the itinerary a week later , I re-booked my re-booking for a different Nov. sailing. Thru out all this I got my 25% bonus as well as a mini suite. I now have rebooked again for next March !!! 2021
They have my money paid in full since Sept 2019 . I ain't getting it back no-how !!!!
-
I , too, spoke to my PCC 2 days ago. Things are so " iffy ". Knowing him 5 yrs & 6 cruises & hoping he's telling the truth . Islands are up in the air as to where , when , & how. I even mentioned the same pool deck seating procedure . Impossible ! would have to change my suite to camping out !
They are also counting on cancellations to bring capacity down on the more current cruises.
I surrender until my next cancellation..
-
wonder how much of this is really true concerning mask wearing on-board , etc. Not objecting ! but 6 ft apart by the pool ? Bad enough only half the pax get to use them , now only 25% probably... I , too , would cruise again. Considering my 2 cruises a year now are not happening. And being on a 1st phase of cruising when they return , that too , is probably not happening until things really calm down

Just hoping all the this gets back to some normalcy. What ? no more buffet ? 6 feet apart ?
-
how ready ? considering our yearly anniversary March cruise was cancelled and my yearly b/day July was not be considered.....
I'm kinda still packed. Even found my DelSol St. Lucia T-shirt bought last cruise & never worn.
Yes ! I'm ready

I'll take that shot in the arm.. In my 70's now, and have been cruising for half of that , with a cruise a year or more....

..and that is the huge issue for those who contract covid-19 in the over 70 age range.
At 70 , my immune system right now is sensitive to spicey food...

So my take , not to offend anyone please forgive. Wife and I are in our early 70's and healthy with No sickness's as of yet ( perhaps too healthy for our age ).
So now I get my doctors note , no past history , no shown symptoms , no temperature ( maybe have my everyday cough ) and show up at the pier with 2000 other cruisers. Now lets say , they take Everyone's temperature. All- Good to go.
Someone during the cruise becomes really ill ( which has happened ) ( contagious - who knows )..
In all honesty , did I really need my doctors note then ? My age might be considered high risk , but that would hold true for everything...
And not to add, my parents in their late 80's were still cruising, with my dad needing a wheelchair

we cancelled my birthday , her birthday , our anniversary , my retirement . Although we cruise every summer plus our march/april , this was going to be a little bit more.
Already re-booked down the line , but not going to be for any celebration , except we made it through this pandemic.
Hopefully all will be well with everyone here as well...

Maybe they put more competent, interested people on the redeployment line? I wish one of them was assigned as my PCC!
Sorry to hear that. I've used the same person for over 4 years now. When I spoke to him today , he was actually keeping in touch and updating any new deals that might be beneficial.

OK , so I just spoke to my PCC . He is working ! Just got info that my particular cruise dropped in price. Lost my OBC and 1 SDP dinner with this new booking..( down to 6 dinners now anyways ) , but every other perk remains...plus extra remaining credit might do a suite ( talking to the mrs. )
-
using mine for over 4 yrs. Booked 5 cruises plus family cruise of 4 cabins . Never a problem . Booked a cruise with him last month , but now ? don't know his status or NCL's ?
-
I guess it was dependent on who you spoke to. When I called my NCL rep. , to cancel ( before NCL's ) , I asked " now what ? ". I was given the options before I received any corporate emails.
-
I guess we all have different opinions and maybe I should not have even entered into this topic , however, when my wife& I decided to cancel, we called our NCL guy and stated " guess you know why I'm calling ". It was March 12th. I believe the official came out March 13th. On March 12th , I rebooked . My original cruise was for March 26th.
Please see my post #8. Never had a problem with my NCL rep in transferring cruises plus finding some additional discounts floating around.
Just hope we ALL stay well to enjoy our next cruises....

I cancelled right before they cancelled and rebooked the same day, using their PeaceofMind ( been using the same NCL rep for 5yrs ). Got 125% credit + some kind of new booking discount ( maybe total 30% off new cruise ) then he found an additional $1000 off.
Ended up paying $500 more for a longer cruise ( 2 xtra days )/ 1 more island / and all perks.

cancelled my 1st cruise ( in 40yrs of cruising ). Over 70 and can get a doctors note , but 1 sneeze & cough from someone with a runny nose and the ship stays afloat somewhere at sea.
Off the record , have entertainer friends on an NCL right now , healthy & not allowed in the diningrooms or buffet. Now rumored , they might be sent home...

If u are a walkoff u will most definately hit the curbs by 8:45 - 9 am...taking luggage with u and the picture confirmation at customs is great. Used on 2 BA's & 1 Gem.

We went thru our Ncl rep and he booked all restaurants SDP 's as well as mdr's..

6 times a charm. Just an easy ship compared to Breakaway ,Escape.
