YVRBassElectric Posted July 25, 2018 #51 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So disappointed that NCL is no longer offering sailings from/to Vancouver to Alaska. Our family, 8 of us, want to do an Alaska cruise next summer but there is no way some are flying into Vancouver and then trucking down to Seattle to catch a ship. Not to mention that we don't want to cruise on the mega ships. I have Platinum status but my next trip is on Princess for the California Coastal because Norwegian's Pacific coast itinerary is poor. I guess the Canadian market is not that attractive to NCL. The Jewel cruises to/from Vancouver Because of the Lions Gate Bridge the mega ships can't home port in Vancouver, there is talk of creating another cruise port in Metro Vancouver but it will be WAY out of downtown, closer to the airport will be appreciated by some, but that is years away, if it ever happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Alaska on the Norwegian Sun a few years ago. Left from Vancouver and returned to Vancouver. It was great. Wish they were still offering that itinerary.

old nutter Posted July 25, 2018 #58 Share Posted July 25, 2018 And it looks like Pearl will be doing the Sixthman charters in August from Barca not Jade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pspercy Posted July 25, 2018 Author #59 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That UK site also says Jewel will do a Transpacific repo Vancouver to Sydney very similar to 2017 starting in late October 2019 :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted July 25, 2018 #62 Share Posted July 25, 2018 When I talked with an agent yesterday she told me they are aware so many requests for JOY to have studios that it might be taken into consideration. Let us hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Canadian market is not that attractive to NCL. The Jewel which is smaller will be based out of Vancouver every other week going to Alaska (one way to Anchorage). Not sure why you got upset without knowing all the facts. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bliss is stopping in Vancouver on September 30th, and yes she fits under the Lions Gate Bridge. The Solstice also fits as she had a funnel mod done so she can fit. Not sure if the Eclipse has had the mod or not or is going to have it. The Ovation OTS is also scheduled here in 2019 and is also suppose to fit.

The Ovation OTS is also scheduled here in 2019 and is also suppose to fit. The Bliss fits only at low tide - can't rely on that for a home port. I did the Panama sailing and we had to wait to go under the Bridge of the Americas, clearance is similar to the Lions Gate (supposedly). I am going to watch the Bliss come in on Sept 30 Would you want to be waiting for a cab in Vancouver on a 3 cruise ship day? I wouldn't. especially if they are over 3000 capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be completing some of the renovation work during the repositioning so it will be crew only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
