NCL doing away with all year sailings out of NYC!!!

I guess NCL is doing away with year round sailings out of NYC, as the
NCL Spirit will be in New Orleans, the NCL Gem in Europe, and the NCL
Dawn going to its new homeport of Florida. Does anyone have anymore
information on this???

The NCL Gem will be doing winter sailing out of NYC in jan. and feb.
'08. Those are the only NCL winter sailing I have seen, but there are
other winter sailing on HAL and on RCCL.

Yes Sue i will be on the Explorer doing an 12 day cruise on
2/24/08 .And the Nordam will be doing 10 day cruises from NYC to .I
think the Gem will not be here in the summer months .I don"t think NCL
will even have a ship in NYC for the summer of 08 !!

I love the itin. of your sailing, but it is way too many vacation days.
We are thinking about the 10 or the 11 day Nordam sailing in jan/feb.

If we do book one of them it will be with very close friends and I don't
mind the day or two of cold weather going and returning. What really
worries me about the winter sailing, is the chance of coming back to
heavy snow/ice and having to dig out our car and drive home on lousy
roads.

Why is NCL taking their ships from doing all year sailings out of NYC??
They were the first to start this years ago with the NCL Dawn. Will they
put one of their newbuilds their in 2009 or 2010?? I also hope their
newbuilds have two pools, and that one pool is enclosed if they decide
to put it all year in NYC. Does anyone have any information, or has
anyone heard anything??

I am sure we will like the Noordam if we book it, we sailed on the
Volendam and loved it. We did have a problem with the waitstaff in the
dining room, but that is not typical of HAL service.

You don't have to worry about the weather as much as I do, we live down
past exit 5 on the turnpike. Not fun if the roads are really bad from a
storm. In the winter I would rather fly, but my friend can't and we want
to cruise with them if possible.

Thanks Annie. I am still not sure if we will be booking her or not, a
lot depends on what our friends are able to do.

Annie,
I'm truly jealous. You've sailed this beautiful ship twice already since
it came out a year ago.

Sue,
The Noordam has a nice enclosed pool area for the cool days leaving and
coming back.

Friends of ours are looking at booking the 11 day Feb 27 cruise.

We may be looking at booking the Westerdam sometime in Jan.
7 day from FLL that goes to Aruba, Curacao, and Half Moon Cay.
