dioxide45 Posted June 22, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Incorrect. It is $300 PER PERSON which is a normal international change fee. You could provide a receipt if the fee was more than $300 PER PERSON and NCL usually will reimburse it. This might be older as I can't see a date on it from TPG. But it looks like the legacies charge $200 where most of the low cost carriers are less than that. https://thepointsguy.com/guide/airline-change-and-cancellation-fees-how-to-avoid-them/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sverigecruiser Posted June 22, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Are there Airlines that charge more than 300 to change the dates on a flight? I looked at British Airways site and as I understand it it doesn't cost very much to change the date, unless I want to change to a date with higher fares. The problem is that if my cruise is cancelled I don't want to change my flights, I want to cancel them! No refund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that if my cruise is cancelled I don't want to change my flights, I want to cancel them! No refund! True, they will only give the $300 if you book another cruise on the Sky. It seems that they are still doing 4 day sailings but instead of all 4 day, they are alternating 4 and five day. There is some Cuba cruises in there too. At least for February 2019. I have also learned that the 10% discount is only if you book another cruise on the Sky. No other ships. It seems they want to force people back on to the Sky in order to refill the empty ships since they changed the schedules only 7-10 months out. Also if you prepaid gratuity at a lower daily price, when you rebook that lower price isn't protected and you now have to pay the new daily gratuity prices.

Frdelvillar Posted June 24, 2018 #29 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I received one of those cancellation emails too, for a January 14-18 cruise. I was really looking forward to it and sucks they cancelled a bunch. I did wind up calling and speaking to NCL to rebook another SKY cruise. Maybe they are putting SKY into drydock, renovation or something? I rebooked for December and am looking forward to Bahamas Vacation!!:D:D😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked same dates on another cruise line out of Miami... nothing else in our plans had to be changed...

I just checked personalizer and it wasn’t cancelled. We are flying into Miami for it. People do fly in for short cruises. They may come before the cruise or stay afterwards.

howardscarpola Posted July 17, 2018 #32 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Exactly what they did with the sun. Not enough interest in short cruises. Also gets rid of the cost of the open bar for all. open bar will remain on Sky and Sun no matter how long the cruise is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesgirl51 Posted July 19, 2018 #33 Share Posted July 19, 2018 We took the inaugural Havana 4 day last May, it was an overnight in Havana. It was a boozy cruise with the required AI, never been around that many drunk people. We saw two people fall down just going to the drill, only been on board a couple of hours. The new 7 day itinerary is arrive 10am leave at midnight, we are booked for October. We really enjoyed the 2 days in Havana, this new cruise seems like a lot of added beach days. Not really enthused about shore excursions in Belize or Costa Maya, maybe just take the snorkel boat. I took the new one because it was a free inside cabin, just paid for the OV upgrade. I got it from a casino affinity card program. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Costa Maya has some awesome beach pass places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
