Tortola and Dominica...Is NCL Going To These Islands?

Has NCL changed itineraries which have Tortola and Dominica as ports?

Are they providing information on any changes?

The earliest sailings calling on either of these ports is Fall 2018. The first one is Oct 27.

Sailing on dawn Jan 2019 these ports were on the original itinerary but have been cancelled and replaced.

Curious if you were informed about the changes via email? Was wondering if there is any place online that anyone might be aware of that shows any itinerary changes? Don and I are both on the Escape January 20th 14 day Southern Itinerary sailing and we have not yet heard specifically about cancellations and replacements of Tortola and Dominica (yet) or St. Maarten either (which may still be hurting as well) With all the devastation from the hurricanes earlier this year our 8 port Breakaway 14 day sailing turned into 6 ports (Including ABC islands which was actually very nice)

If there isn't any place that summarizes any upcoming sailings that have had Itinerary changes...it would be great to hear from anyone who has heard of itinerary changes in the Southern/Eastern Caribbean via email.

However, other ships are still scheduled for these two ports.

I am on the Getaway Oct. 14 and Tortola is still listed on our itinerary....do you know something I don’t know yet?

Correct, for the Dawn.

Not necessarily.

I'm on the Dawn in February. Our Dominica port was replaced, but we are still going to Tortola.

Oct 7 and Oct 21, she is doing the Western Carib itinerary.

I am on Getaway Oct 28, 2018 sailing. Tortola is still on our itinerary but no shore excursions are available yet.

We were scheduled to go to both these islands on our Dawn cruise on December 6th 2018. They have canceled them both for that cruise.

In fact they had canceled 5 of the 8 ports we were scheduled to visit.

Tortola was the last one to get canceled and they replaced it with St Thomas.

Not necessarily.

We are on a Feb sailing as well. Am so disappointed that Dominica isn't a port at this time. It is one of our favorite stops. I could care less about Tortola unless one wants to do the baths.

Booked on the January 19 Bliss sailing. It may have something to do with the Bliss revised schedule. The itinerary of 4 Bliss sailings were changed due to lack of dock space in St.Thomas and tortola. to correct it, they swapped the days for the 2 ports. they may have cut the smaller ships due in on those days to get the Bliss in there .

Will be sailing on the Jade, March 1, southern Carib, Dominica is still on our itinerary and have not received any notice of a change..... so far.

I received a forwarded email from ncl from my ta so I assume if you booked direct they will email you.

Our March 24, 2019 cruise on the Dawn still shows Tortola, but DomInica was taken off the itinerary. We are also going the week before and Martinique was removed from that itinerary.

I'm wondering why my Escape January 20th cruise passengers have not been notified about itinerary changes.

It could be that some cruises are still on course to visit these ports and they are limiting the number of ships visiting the ports during their recovery since the tourist venues may be limited and some may have been destroyed by the hurricanes.

On the same cruise. Received the attached. Dominica was replaced with St. Thomas. Tortola is still a go so far.

That is interesting, as I am not seeing *any* itinerary for the Getaway on Oct 14. Perhaps it is already sold out, or a partial-ship charter? Or yet another NCL website snafu.

 

 

Oct 7 and Oct 21, she is doing the Western Carib itinerary.

As of today this is what is showing in My Vacation Summary for our Oct 14 cruise. However as noted above, there are no excursions showing for Tortola although there are excursions for the other ports.

I noticed 2 interesting things about our Dawn sailing in Feb. One, though the itinerary was slightly changed so we are now going to Bonaire if you check the route, the site just says map to come shortly. And if you look for shore excursions nothing is coming up or it wasn't a few days ago when I checked. This indicates to me, the itinerary may not be set in stone yet.

On my November 26 Gem sailing, Tortola has been replaced with St. Martin.

On the Bliss Dec 15,2018. No notification of any changes and still going to St Thomas & Tortola.

Were on the Dawn Dec 16 2018 and Tortola is still listed. There are only 2 total excursions listed, one for Tortola & one for St. Lucia.

We're sailing on October 16th from NYC on the Breakaway and no itinerary changes are showing on our online booking. We're still scheduled for St. Thomas, St. Marteen and Tortola.

I am on the Bliss on Feb. 2 and out Tortola and St. Thomas dates were swapped with one another, but we are still scheduled to go to Tortola.

We are on the Epic Dec 15th and Tortola and St. Thomas are still a go on our itinerary.
