Princess@Sea Posted October 5, 2017 #51 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Just received this email: Apparently some of Jade's 10 day sailings between Dec and March will have the following new ports, including the ABC islands. Kudos to NCL! ******************************************************************************************************************* Dear Valued Guests and Travel Partners, At Norwegian Cruise Line, the safety and security of our guests and crew is our number one priority.

Zbayette Posted October 6, 2017 #52 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We received this email today too and we are happy with the changes; haven't been to most of these ports in awhile.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think everyone including those who understand frustration are running out of patience with the complainers about the itinerary changes resulting from hurrianse that have distroyed some islands. What woud you expect, islands to just pop up out of nowhere. Be glad you get to cruise to some pretty awesome ports: Barbados for instance as well as two of the ABC islands. it would be pretty hard to visit prots that have been almost leveled. As for 2 days after final payment, I do agree, it is too bad they could not have posted this on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrated of course, posting a rant and indicating you thought they deliberately waiting to post the changes until after final payment is over the top and has nothing to do with whether or nto you donated to any of these islands. I would think you would be happy to know where you are going and understand what the cruise lines are dealing with right now. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandid82 Posted October 9, 2017 #67 Share Posted October 9, 2017 All I said is that it was a downgrade and changing right after final payment (30 hours to be exact) wasn't the best move. So many are so self righteous on these boards. People are entitled to their own opinion. Don't put words into my mouth because that's clearly not what I said. I feel it was a downgrade and think it was wrong to change it after final payment when they said we would have a change by the 3rd. That's it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but it is very interesting when the revision was announced. I'm on the Escape on February 24 and still haven't received any update. Personally, I will cancel on the final payment date if I haven't been notified of the new itinerary. Again, personally, I have zero interest in Falmouth and the NCL private island (or Nassau for that matter, but it seems like everyone has to go to Nassau :) ). I'll rebook to a southern cruise or an all-inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the new itinerary has much better stops than the old one. I just wish that they added a stop each way in either the Bahamas or FL, but it is a long way to the ABC's and there is really nto timem for an extra stop.

We all understand the devastating effects of the weather in the Caribbean and don't need to be preached to as to why routes have been altered, but it is not unreasonable to expect them to notify people of the itinerary changes while they still have the option to cancel. Exactly! This is all I was saying. I don't understand how people can get so angry when others have a different opinion than they do. We're allowed to be frustrated and we pay a lot of money to vacation. Just giving the option to opt out of the cruise after the change and before final payment is reasonable. It's funny that so many get so upset, but if one were to subscribe to cable and were to receive 8 premium channels. They pay without any notice of a change. Then the cable company takes 5 of those premium channels away and puts 2 other ones in their place. They know about the changes and could allow consumers to cancel without penalty, but would lose business. So they wait a day and a half after the customer pays and isn't able to cancel. Would people be expected to just deal with it? Cable companies can and have lost deals with networks. Customers lose channels and some are in contracts and cannot get out of them. It doesn't mean it's right. They can be honest with customers by altering the channel package and allowing the customer to decide if they wish to cancel or continue with the new channel lineup.
