Bribrittmom Posted May 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Well, my fifth cruise of the year just got canceled. I’m so disappointed. I really thought this one would sail. We were booked on the Gem sailing out of Dominican Republic at the end of August. Luckily Delta returned our miles we used to book. Had to cancel hotel in Punta Cana too. I think this time I’m done trying to book a cruise until after ships really start sailing. Sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted May 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I held off booking this. Kinda suspected it was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodcruiser Posted May 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I just got the Cancellation email too. I was on the Aug 29th cruise on the Gem. I guess I will try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany527 Posted May 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have a lot of FCC to use. I hope NCL gives us another Caribbean sailing alternative than just the Sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCGuy64 Posted May 28, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Definitely bummed about NCL canceling our Sept 19 Gem cruise. However, all we had “risked” was a CN deposit that’ll be returned. In anticipation, I booked us on the Norwegian Sky for the same week, using another CN as deposit. We aren’t really out any money. Life goes on and we’ll try again. After waiting more than a year to cruise again, I can wait some more. (however, the optics look really bad for NCL right now after boasting of their Return to Sail and then axing both the Joy and the Gem in rapid succession) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaftingJeremy Posted May 28, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Glad I switched my sailing to the bliss in Alaska. Had a feeling this would happen. Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc12345 Posted May 29, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Why is there no official announcement on NCL's website? Their IT department took off before the long weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted May 29, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you book into 2023 then those cruises are likely to go; why not take advantage of the excellent offer in the cancellation email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
