Got a free cruise from NCL (sort of)

[johnnyrb]

Well, not exactly a whole cruise but I did get an email from NCL this weekend informing me that my 12- day southern Caribbean cruise has been changed into a 14 day cruise. So we got 2 additional days for free at least.

 

The best part in my mind is that they changed some of the ports, and now we will be going to smaller, more interesting islands including Dominica, Martinique and Antigua. We're pretty happy. Just wanted to share some good NCL news.

Win-win! Good going for you. I would agree.

Did your email happen to mention when they would be updating the website to reflect the changes?

 

Or if they are covering airfare change fees for those who need airfare and already bought it?

I doubt they would pay for airfare changes, and one could always cancel I suppose. This is what the email said:

A lot of discussion about that change

Can you post your itinerary. When I went on the NCL site, they are still showing it as a 12-day from NY.

Sounds like a winner to me: BTW, just my opinion and everyone has his so don't take this too seriously: Dominica is one of our favorite island: have a great time!!! I will advise you to take a tour via the cruise line or keep your tour down when it comes to time. We almost missed the ship. I can't remember what tour company we used. I do know it was an amazing tour, but ran way over.

 

Our last cruise (2 months ago) we did Martinique: we were very disappointed in it, as were most people we spoke with. Antigua was a pleasant island and we had a nice time.
