BarretPinto Posted October 3, 2015 #178 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Does it bother anyone that ncl hasn't sent an email, or even acknowledged the storm?? It would be nice to hear something from them. Thanks for everyone's comments on the forum, it has been very helpful, it's nice to get some sort of information.

They can't say they are sure that there aren't changes when they can't guarantee it. They'll announce a change when/if there is one. You need to get more comfortable with ambiguity!

nameless_faceless_one Posted October 3, 2015 #181 Share Posted October 3, 2015 When i booked this, my first cruise I didn't really look at the destination until after I paid for it. I didn't even know where Bermuda was. I could have flown to Bermuda. It's more about the journey than the destination. If NCL holds true to their schedule, they will announce any itinerary changes in 30-90 minutes from now, based on the time of day they made the change yesterday.

lost@sea219 Posted October 3, 2015 #182 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I would rather them wait and make the best decision based on latest weather reports. We never cancel our soccer games in advance we always wait. Weather for Thurs/Fri is looking better and better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that you may not know until you actually check in at the port. You may be handed a piece of paper (much like being told of a NORO outbreak & how changes will be made) informing you of a change. Just as NCL posted a weather alert for the Sky on their main page (left side yellow box) they may post one for the Breakaway too. Unless I viewed an alert directly from their page, I wouldn't believe any thing written on CC & would just go with the flow. Just keep checking your FB account & the NCL site, but don't let it ruin your vacation. Hope you have a great time wherever you go.

Lau628 Posted October 3, 2015 #184 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well something is better then nothing... I mean we're putting our lives in the captains hands during a hurricane. I think we all have the right to know what's going on!!!!! Bermuda under hurricane watch... If Bermuda gets nailed I doubt we'll be going there...

Wherever the ship goes, you'll go. We may not know till we're at the pier. So I've packed a hoodie and I'll be wearing a jacket for ny weather anyway. Then I'll get on the ship and go relax in the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau628 Posted October 3, 2015 #186 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I am relaxed. U don't have to tell me... If they turn around and say we are going to Canada u bet ur ass I'll be fighting to go on the following week. Thanks I don't need ur nastiness. I'm entitled to be worried at sea with a hurricane.

There was no nastiness. You obviously can't deal well with uncertainty. As far as I know, there's no recourse if they change the itinerary due to weather. If you're that concerned, cut your losses and cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanster1 Posted October 3, 2015 #190 Share Posted October 3, 2015 We aren't scheduled to be in Bermuda until Wednesday. The storm should be way north by then. I myself did not book this trip for the ship. I booked it for the beautiful island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we're on schedule for Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tura Lura Posted October 3, 2015 #192 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm looking forward to Bermuda or at least warm weather, but if we go north, then we go north. I'm thrilled to not have to cook, clean, work, think for a week and instead relax, sit in a spa, drink, eat, do nothing for a week. It's a vacation!

asubaru Posted October 3, 2015 #195 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I would be anxious too, if I were sailing and wondering where I would be going, if there would be weather issues and the like. Maybe it's better they are not making a change yet. FWIW, I have friends who were on the Getaway sailing the Eastern route in August. Two days before sailing, they received an email that they would be doing the Western. They spent their day before their cruise in the hotel room canceling port plans and researching their western ports. They scheduled some non-NCL excursions in Jamaica and Cozumel. AFTER check-in and while waiting to board, they announced they were doing their original itinerary! All the cruise companies are in a tough spot in these situations. They are relying on various weather predicting sources. Look how many times the forecasts have changed in the last 72 hours......even the sources often disagree. I think they are wise to wait in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tura Lura Posted October 3, 2015 #197 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I just called and as far as they are concerned we're still going to Bermuda. She said it could change but right now, we're out running it, going around it, whatever. I did score some onboard credit since the price dropped. Could have gotten a cabin upgrade but I want my studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarretPinto Posted October 3, 2015 #198 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thanks for the update!! That's the type of information I would have thought they would send out to everyone via an email or alert to our NCL accounts, just as an update. Oh well....Joaquin isn't going to ruin my vacation.
