Does anyone know when they will announce dates for 2019 Cuba sailings?

I called NCL today and asked the same question and got a big, fat “no” for an answer.

Dates for their premium line, Oceania have already been published.

If NCL doesn't know, why would you expect members of this forum to know?

Because over on the Princess forum where I usually hang-out, there is always someone with dates before they are released.

Oceania seems to be bailing out on Havana, and, where possible, either replacing it with or spending more time in Cienfuegos (sp?).

The guess on the O board is that MSC has started homeporting/calling more in Havana and that is cutting berthing space for lots of other lines (don't know if this is true).

So people on the Princess forum know sailing dates before Princess does?:confused:

In a way, yes. They’ve posted sailing dates before the line’s reservation agents have the info. Not confusing at all.

And you know this how?

The information is released early to travel agents so they can update their websites. The reservation agents at the cruise lines are the low men on the totem poll, normally they only know what’s on the screen in front of them. Spreadsheets for future sailings have been shared online by CC members with connections weeks before reservation agents know anything.

I keep hearing that it will be in a "week or two", that they just have to get a few things finalized. The last time I spoke with my NCL agent, he indicated that he had been told that they were going to try and expand their presence in Cuba, and add some 7 days cruises in addition to the shorter cruises. I will believe it when I see it, however.

Still no dates for 2019, called and no one seems to know. RCCL and Carnival have 2019 sailings to Cuba up on website, I'd prefer NCL if they ever post the dates.

Well, I’ve decided that Cuba can wait. We’ve booked a 13 day cruise with Princess from Fort Lauderdale to Quebec instead
