Really?? Do you have any source?

 

What about JADE?? Will she stay in Europe in 2015/16 as well?

 

You quoted the source about 40 minutes ago in another thread...

 

And since NCL has not published the info and anybody hasn't found anything from port websites yet, there is no info about Jade.

The Jade can't sail from US ports without loosing the right to sail inter-island in Hawaii , so I would expect the her to stay in Europe..

 

If - and that is a big if - Jade was to move, it doesn't have to move to a US port, there is also the option of completely new itineraries like NCL returning to South America, expanding to Australia or Asia etc. - with the new ships in the fleet they do need new itineraries (both to fill the ships and keep existing passengers).

 

Even though NCL has a parent company in the Asian markets, those ships are designed for Asian passengers and don't appeal that much for us from North America and Europe - also Star Cruises and NCL are not currently cross marketed in any way so they do not share the same customer base either.

 

I won't dare to guess what NCL has in store for Spirit or Jade, one of them will probably still stay in Mediterranean like before - even after Epic stays there too year-around.

 

Just as food for thought: For example, Costa is starting (or has already started) cruises in the Black Sea, and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai etc) are located just behind the Suez canal so that's two directions where NCL might go and still stay around Mediterranean.

I think the Spirit is the ship on the move out of the Med area but where is she going? It would be logical to move her to Asia since she's already got the decor to fit right in with the experience (minus the hastily inserted Le Bistro restaurant).

 

Norwegian Jade is going to be left in the Med probably forever. She can't come back here to the USA or else NCL will lose any expansion plans they have for her so the Spirit is going to go somewhere, the question is... where? :cool:
