Rare cml4958 Posted January 15, 2017 #126 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The July 16-30 cruise to Iceland, Norway and the UK is actually on the Jade not the Getaway. At least I know why our cruise sold out overnight. :cool::confused::(:rolleyes: Thanks for the catch and glad to be of assistance, if only after the fact. Here's the new link. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16q7IxvGOOySXm5_ldf_cuwh7lOVQbZwuKYE5Hc1vFTA/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat4158 Posted January 15, 2017 #128 Share Posted January 15, 2017 My Epic cruise on 15th Oct 2017 has just been rerouted- now leaving from Barcelona instead of Rome. 4 of the original ports have been changed. The sailing has been removed from the website. I have 9 days to decide whether to keep my booking. Does anyone know if there is a large group booking? How could I find out? NCL just say the ship is sold out. I find that hard to believe unless there has been a large group booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonian123 Posted January 15, 2017 #129 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi, we are looking at Alaska. The Kosherica web site shows: Alaska Kosher Cruise aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines: Pearl June 25 - July 2, 2017 (7 Nights - Kosher Cruise) Alaska Kosher Cruise aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines: Pearl August 13-20, 2017 (7 Nights - Kosher Cruise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted January 16, 2017 #130 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Oops, sorry, I had the wrong ship listed for the July Iceland cruise out of Hamburg. It is indeed on the Jade. Thanks again for updating this list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted January 17, 2017 #131 Share Posted January 17, 2017 How did this cruise turn out? We considered going on this with some friends, but worried about just which group this might be. It turned out to be fine. There were obviously more Jewish people on board than I have ever noticed before (yamakas are a give away!). One section of the MDR was set aside for them, but other than that, no real disruptions. One thing I did think was a little odd. On both Sabbaths(Friday night to Saturday night) one of the elevators was set aside & manned by a crew member who kept all of the buttons pushed. Evidently, they can't push the elevator buttons on the Sabbath (but they can let someone else do it for them?) i wonder how they handle this on regular cruises? then again its not uncommon for anyone to come in and say please press 11 for me and they head to the back of the elevator. i learned what sabbath mode was on ovens a few years ago so there are many interesting customs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaja Posted January 17, 2017 #132 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Following this thread...thanks for keeping it updated. I chose my October 2017 cruise for itinerary..(Quebec). NYC port....unfortunately it is a Friday/Monday embark/disembark. Hoping since it is 10 day and still expensive...it will not be "taken over" .

I have a wise mom whose motto is "everything happens for a reason" so where as the ship and ports for our adventure changed we're still going to have a great time.

tiger-91 Posted January 29, 2017 #144 Share Posted January 29, 2017 http://travelsober.com/ has several sailings. They're probably just taking up conference rooms rather than restaurants, (and definitely not bars) but anyway....a group is a group.

spidybabe Posted January 30, 2017 #145 Share Posted January 30, 2017 FYI, we were on the Dec 29th Panama Canal Kosher cruise on the Pearl. The group did not impact on others at all. If we didn't know that it was a partial charter, we would not of known. They were hardly seen onboard. They had their own section of one main dining room, and didn't eat anywhere else, which made dining very available at all places. We had heard some horror stories of previous sailings, and we were hesitant ourselves (and we are Jewish), but saw no ill behavior (very few children) and the group posed no problems for the rest of the cruise. we were very thankful that we did not cancel based on the charter and past horror stories. People not on CC didn't even know that there was a partial charter. Safe sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg013 Posted February 27, 2017 #146 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Anyone know what is going on with the Gem May 27, 2017 to the Bahamas etc? Every single SF penthouse is available and lots of other categories and it's after final payment. Granted it's $2500pp but it seems really weird that not one has been booked. out of 12 penthouses. I want to book for our 35th anniversary but can't figure out what is going on with the Gem that week. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysMom2 Posted March 3, 2017 #147 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Let's unite our search skills to create a near up to date list of known charter/group cruises on NCL. So we can avoid them. ;) If we copy paste and add any new dates the list below we might be able to save someone's vacation :D The list (please copy past after the break): Ship unknown: March 11-18 2017, Lifesource group, departure Miami, could be Escape, Thanks to user Mistizoom ..a second option is emailing events@ncl.com from your business email and asking if they can host x number of pax on incentive travel on your sail date. ;) A while back someone (I can't remember who) posted an excel sheet with all of the NCL charters he found online. Select the ship at the bottom of the page. Check it out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxNUASjtcUQYYXVQNDRqZXRyVDQ/view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefcrinkle Posted March 3, 2017 #149 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I am on the Escape with the deaf tour group.
