I think what may have happened with the aft penthouses is that they were actually booked. My parents are in one and honestly never saw the warning that final payment was due on 12/28. I found out about that (we had already paid) on 1/2 and fixed it less than 5 minutes later. Im guessing that had it been any longer, they would've lost their reservation. I bet that's why some came open.

 

Also, harvest caye excursions are MIA for the March 12th sailing also.

Only reason I looked forward to HC was it would basically be free for my group of six with UBP to relax on the beach. Now it's another $300-$600 to go on an excursion or else we just stay on the ship. Makes me wonder if any of that is factoring into these delays.

Same situation here! And we will stay on the Star!

Gone for our 2/21/16 sailing, also. I'm okay with that, actually. I'd rather see the stop ready vs a soft opening. We'll have OBC to spend, but we can always have dinner in Moderno and play more Bingo. With all of the hoopla around the outcry from the locals, I wasn't really to keen on being one of the first cruises there...there's talk of protestors greeting the cruise ship.

Good info..thanks everyone...I am a newbie to the NCL boards...only one NCL cruise on the old Majesty...out of Charleston many years ago...So possibly no private island for November? That is what Harvest Caye is right? Hate to hear that....as we sail Thanksgiving week with the family...

Harvest Caye excursions not appearing for the April 24th Getaway sailing either. There were three listed there last week and now nothing.

 

I guess I'm off to research excursions out of Belize City. Any ideas?

I'm thinking cave tubing. Not sure from whom yet. It's crazy expensive thru NCL, as expected, so I'll likely go independent. I'll wait until the itinerary is officially changed before I contact independent vendors. Any independent vendor suggestions?
