Wow.  We have a 15 day repositioning cruise scheduled 1 May to 16 May from Rome to Amsterdam on the Jade.  Fingers crossed!

Even more interesting is the UPDATE located at the bottom of the page indicating that NCL have revised their original compensation and is now offering a 50% refund.  Given the plummeting stock prices, I think this is a good move.

How was this different from a cruise from New York that can't go to Bermuda because of hurricanes?

And another that goes to New Orleans instead of returning to Miami because of a hurricane?

Lack of details about a passenger's medical conditions?  Nothing new.

We got $100 and went to Port Canaveral in bad weather and Nassau 3pm-9pm with the town mostly closed at 5.

But they delivered what the cruise contract requires.

 

Buy trip insurance.

Thanks for sharing the update to the page. Interesting to see how quickly bad behavior starts to cure itself when the media exposes this stuff to the general public.

Simple.....avoiding a hurricane is a prudent thing to do. Sailing into a virus-infected area is not.

Or, alternatively:

Avoiding a virus infected area is a prudent thing to do. Sailing into a hurricane is not!

 

Kinda confirms the point that PelicanBill makes.....there is no difference, apart from the compensation offered. Buying trip insurance is clearly the way to go. 😉

Having a screwed up cruise is one issue. Nothing has been said about all the people flying in and out of areas that is a hot spot for the virus. Ships in the US is banning travel from these very places.  So all the people on the jade was possibly exposed and in turn spreading thru out  the US.

Wouldn't you think the potential spread by 'all the people on the jade' might be wider than simply the US of A?? 😉

Some people are just greedy, it amazes me

Seems to be another case of unsophisticated cruise passengers that do not understand that "ship" happens and what to expect.

 

I always love the whingeing about how missing a certain port caused trauma due to it being the sole reason for booking a cruise.

You are absolutely correct. They could be spreading something anywhere even if one person was infected.That is not a good thing.
