Which ship will replace The Sky in Miami?

[Cruisin4beaches]

Just read the Norwegian Sky will leave Miami and go to China. Does anyone know which ship will replace her? My guess will be The Pearl.

Where did you read this?

This morning's announcement from Norwegian for Fall 2017:

 

The Jewel: Australia and New Zealand

 

The Dawn: Winter homeport San Juan

 

The Pearl: Winter homeport New Orleans

 

The Breakaway: New Western Caribbean itinerary

 

No mention of The Sky

I read this in an online interview with NCL President Andy Stuart posted this morning. Do a search for Norwegian Sky news and you can read it.

I found this when I did a Google search: Why Norwegian Cruise Line Is Spending $400 Million to Update Old Ships.

Not seeing this anywhere. Are you sure they weren't talking about the Joy?

I did search and found nothing. If you read it, please post the link

I found the article now. The person writing the article clearly used the wrong name in that sentence.

 

They say "Norwegian is currently gearing up to operate the Norwegian Sky in China, which was developed and designed specifically to serve the Chinese vacationer."

 

The Joy is the ship they are refering to that was developed and designed for the Chinese market.

The Sky is not going to China.

The links provided says nothing about the Sky leaving Miami to gp to China as the OP stated. It's the Joy that is going to China.

They fixed the story in question to remove the reference to the NCL Sky...bad content editing is a great way to start a bad rumor :)

I look forward to the Breakaway doing the western Caribbean. Where will it be home ported? After March it will be the only large NCL ship I haven't sailed in.

I guess I should have stipulated that the article didn't mention Sky.

"and a new Western Caribbean itinerary from NYC on Norwegian Breakaway"

 

BA remains in NYC.

The story did at one time reference NCL Sky (the OP was not crazy)...a Google News search for "Norwegian Sky", will bring up the archived version of the story with reference.
