NCL - please come clean and tell us about that!! I believe that many of the crew are at home in their home countries, and being vaccinated by whatever sources vaccinate people. Why do people think that NCL would gather up a bunch of unvaccinated people, stick them on a ship and then vaccinate them? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble? We did see an article posted about the Philippians giving ship workers priority vaccinations for months. IIRC, aren't a large portion of NCL crews from places like that?

Alegeeter Posted June 3, 2021 #228 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) NCL crew who aren’t vaccinated are joining the ship in Aruba where they will undergo quarantine for 2 weeks in a private room. They will then be vaccinated after testing negative at the port (maybe Miami?). source: a crew member currently in quarantine Edited June 3, 2021 by Alegeeter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjquilts Posted June 3, 2021 #229 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Today is the first day of a 5 day land trip to Long Beach, Washington.

mininewman Posted June 10, 2021 #235 Share Posted June 10, 2021 On this thread it states the breakaway is moored until 10/17, and that is in the most recent update NCL posted on it's own website: Additional Suspended Sailings Ship - Suspended Through Pride of America - October 31, 2021 Norwegian Escape - November 2, 2021 Norwegian Joy - October 9, 2021 Norwegian Pearl - December 7, 2021 Norwegian Jewel - January 9, 2022 Norwegian Spirit - January 28, 2022 Norwegian Sun - January 18, 2022 A single October 24, 2021 Norwegian Bliss cruise Previously announced suspended cruises with no changes in the May 26 suspension announcement.

When would NCL need to start actually moving her by in order to have her in NYC, crewed and ready to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted June 22, 2021 #237 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Bringing this back to first page from page 6 😲 with the following titbits: Encore is anchored off Busan South Korea, departing soon for the transpacific crossing to Seattle, ETA July 4 at 16:00. Jade went from Sicily to Piraeus Greece last week and she departed there earlier today and is heading to Brindisi Italy. Getaway finally left Marseilles last Friday, popped into Naples & Augusta Sicily, and is now heading to Bar Montenegro. Spirit left Bar Montenegro earlier today and is heading to Civitavecchia Italy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the plan is for The Encore? According to a ship tracking site, She is due to arrive in Seattle on Sunday the 44th of July which is a month and 3 days PRIOR to He 1st scheduled Alaskan sailing.

cliffd64 Posted June 22, 2021 #241 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Our September 12 cruise on Sky out of Miami was moved the Norwegian Gem out of Miami. The transition seems to have been done quite well... Our category did not change at all (AFT Balcony) and only a little itinerary change: Grand Cayman was eliminated in favor of Costa Maya...

Gathering unvaccinated crew, sticking them on a ship, and then vaccinating them is what Royal Caribbean did. Vaccines are not available in some of the countries. Even the crew member from the UK on the Odyssey of the Seas who is live vlogging from his quarantine right now only was vaccinated after joining the ship in Florida. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we stopped in Montenegro on the Jade in 2019 we picked up a large number of crew. It was something about their passports. They had to board in Montenegro vs elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what they are doing. Joy is in San Juan right now and the crew are getting vaccinated with J&J. That crew will be moved to Encore. Gem will be there next to get her crew vaccinated.

bluesea777 Posted June 26, 2021 #249 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sky has departed Aruba and is heading to Colon Panama, ETA June 28th. Then there'll be two sister NCL ships at each end of the Panama Canal. Sun on the Pacific side, and Sky on the Atlantic side.

NCL is indeed flying in crew to Bar, Norwegian Getaway docked there. Making it the largest cruise ship to call at Bar too heh. It seems NCL does not have to bother with (intra)EU regulations for their crew or Montenegro has less strict quarantaine time. Or perhaps the location with infrastructure suits NCL well. Whatever it might be, Bar is serving as a stepping stone for a return to cruising.
