Topdog52 Posted January 27, 2021 Author #101 Share Posted January 27, 2021 7 hours ago, kaprin02 said: CCL has cancelled *some* ships until Nov (3 ships)....their fleetwide cancellations are still only through April at this time, just like NCL. Just to be clear. Yes you are correct that only 3 ships have cancelled but the question is will there be more? Is this the real reason behind NCL's site and not a Glitch? Here is part of an article that is very interesting. I sure hope this does not happen. "The world's biggest publicly traded cruise line announced a new slew of "ship-specific cruise cancellations and movements." Among the new developments, three cruise ships -- Carnival Magic, Carnival Paradise, and Carnival Valor -- are going to be laid up in dry dock until November 2021, and cruises aboard these ships that were slated to begin as early as June will now be canceled. And that's the good news. Carnival may be the catalyst for today's sell-off, but it's not the only cruise line encountering difficulties. As Barron's noted on Friday, cruises aboard all three major cruise lines are now not expected to resume before the fourth quarter of 2021, or even early 2022."

cybergremlin Posted January 27, 2021 #102 Share Posted January 27, 2021 seems that it was a glitch as the 1 cruise that i had the message on now has the same message as the other booked cruises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yhave1ne Posted January 27, 2021 #106 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I was seeing that message immediately after booking cruises for october and november of 2022. I no longer see that message on either booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ScratchTheRat Posted January 27, 2021 #107 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I’ve been getting this error too. I booked just yesterday for September 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted January 27, 2021 #108 Share Posted January 27, 2021 One of my cruises (October 2021) has changed to reminding me to "make that final payment before you pack". Since it's almost 9 months away I'm going to be waiting awhile before I do either of those two. The rest of my booked cruises no longer have a 'Time is running out...' message. Big improvement😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbabe Posted January 28, 2021 #112 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If I was a more suspicious person, I’d think that NCL left the glitch there as long as they could get away with it, hoping that people would be suckered into making final/additional payments early...

Rare All-ready2cruise Posted February 8, 2021 #117 Share Posted February 8, 2021 And my only Oct. 2021 cruise seems fine, however, it's a Hawai'ian cruise on POA. Any relation? Not long ago this was the message many of us were receiving and it turned out to be a glitch. Is this another glitch which are cruises, maybe those involving a stop to Canada, involved? Goodness, sure wish NCL would make things a bit clearer for everyone. Good luck, fingers crossed for everyone. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your weird cruise include flights? My Sun Alaska May 2022 is just called “SUNSEASITICYSGYJNUKTNVICSEA“. My December 2021 PoA cruise is fine, no weird name. The payment warning pic is gone for both. At least the name helps me remember the order of the ports...

You'd think so from the wording but strangely no, I have no flights included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyhanek Posted February 8, 2021 #120 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I can't imagine booking a cruise so far out like that. Why would you do it? Cruises won't sell out. You don't get the best deals booking ridiculously early. Now you don't know if they will even be going. Why do people book any cruise so far out?

You are wrong as you have no idea what deal I got, you have made incorrect assumptions. 2 minutes ago, ScratchTheRat said: If the price goes down, call up and get the deal 😄 That's what people in the US do but we can't in the UK, we lose our deposit if we reprice a cruise as it's classed as a rebooking. I have cancelled and rebooked before when the deposit was only £50pp and the price drop made it worthwhile. Normally I only book a bargain a long way out now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a great deal as well, for my cruise on the BA in May 2022. And "vive la différence". We all the right to make our own choices. Hope we all get to enjoy our choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have credits that have to be used within a certain timeframe and we can always cancel. That's why. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price goes up - I'm already locked in. If the price goes down - I get to book the new lower price. I get my choice of cabins. If things aren't looking great a year from now, I can cancel my trip before final payment and get all of my money back. And all it costs me is a $300 (refundable) deposit. Where's the downside? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
