Any one else getting cruise is on hold message?

[lepidoptera]

Hoping against hope others are getting the dreaded cruise is on hold and time is running out message. I’ve been worrying about the transpacific cruise for a few months since it stops in Russia but was hoping since it isn’t until 2024 that they would leave it until things got closer. Crossing fingers for IT problems not a cancellation.

The April 2024 Jewel transpacific is very likely to be cancelled or have major changes when the 2023/4 Asia season is released. We've been discussing it over at the roll call:

Getting the same message.  Think cruise is toast.  Read somewhere that Asia cruises are supposed to be posted later this month.

June 16th for Asia cruises 2023/24 I believe.

Sorry for your loss. We have seen that message a dozen or more times since 2020. Always fatal.

What is really annoying is that everything about the specific Transpacific cruise disappeared about a week ago.   No communication from NCL at all.

Yea, just get on with it.  I want the CN certificate back to use as payment for another cruise.  I'm trying to use all my older ones first and I think the one I used for this cruise might expire much sooner than the ones I currently have in my account.

Hey, maybe no news is good news and it's just on hold because they're just waiting for the final schedule and we'll get an updated itinerary, with a discount because of the itinerary change.  I was really looking forward to the unique stops in Alaska.

 

A girl can dream can't she......but it does seem odd that they're taking their time

NO Itinerary Change wanted because of the unique stops

 

It will need a major itinerary change to get any discount, well maybe a peanuts one.   Again they are not even treating us like mushrooms, at least they are fed b...s...

Got a 10% discount when they took out the St. Petersburg stop on upcoming Baltic cruise.  But no, I probably wouldn't go if they changed the Alaska stops, would have to look at the others before deciding.

I was just booked yesterday by the travel agent and I am also receiving the same message on the website. Maybe a IT issue?

If you are referring to the Jewel TransPacific April 10th 2024 it is certainly back on the website here in New Zealand

@casofilia

The cruise I am referring to is the Norwegian Bliss western Caribbean on December 17, 2022.  My reservation has the same on hold message mentioned in the first post.

@CruiserEK

 

The OP's post that you actually quoted referred to a Transpacific cruise which is why I answered as I did.

 

When I asked my PCC about the TransPacific cruise he stated that it wasn't available on the website so he was unable to book anyone on it.

 

If your cruise does not appear on the website I wonder how your TA was able to book it.   However I have just looked and the Bliss cruise you quote is there.

I was under the impression the issue was something widespread on the NCL website and not just a specific cruise in question. I had seen the on hold message under my cruise reservation on the NCL website. In regards to the Norwegian Bliss cruise I was referring to the issue cleared itself up not too long ago so I can access my cruise information and check out the excursions, etc. If there still is an issue with the TransPacific cruise I wish you the best of luck.
