NCL Epic Itinerary Change

[Maria]

FYI, if anyone is sailing on NCL Epic on Jan 21, 2024 I just received a notification of an itinerary change.  Instead of visiting Harvest Cay, Belize on Jan 25, we are now visiting Belize City.  This change is due to port congestion in Harvest Cay on Jan 25.

@Maria Thanks so much for this NCL Epic update! Are you content with the itinerary change or are you a bit bummed to skip Harvest Cay? I have only been to Belize City so I wouldn't know what I'm missing. 

I did see this NCL news as well. Have you ever cruised to the Isle of Man before? I would love to visit there!  https://www.cruisehive.com/norwegian-cruise-ship-forced-to-leave-port-early/113492

I'm ok with the itinerary change.  The ship is still going to Belize so not like it's going someplace different altogether.

No I've never been to Isle of Man.  A Europe cruise is on my bucket list so maybe one day.

@Maria I'm glad you are content with the itinerary change. Some itinerary changes aren't always an equal swap, but then again, I'm not sure there could be a perfect itinerary change. I like your positive attitude. The waters in Belize are lovely, and I hope you get to spend some time in the ocean! 

I'm right there with you. Europe is a dream destination for me. The longer I'm on the boards, the more I learn about new beautiful ports of calls I yearn to explore! What would be your dream cruise itinerary? Right now, I'm hopeful I can get to cruise to Greece by 2030. That's the dream anyway!

I am dreaming of some day going on an Alaska cruise and Hawaii cruise.  Greece, Spain and Italy are also a dream of mine.

@Maria You and I both have similar cruise interests! I wish I had the opportunity to take these sorts of cruises now, but the timing and cost just don't add up for me right now. Which itinerary would be the most feasible in the coming years? I would prefer to cruise these regions rather than fly. There is something so convenient about having the same place to sleep every night aka on the ship) and not having to shuffle through public transit to see many locations in a week or two. 

I would likely make it to Alaska sooner than Hawaii based on cruise costs.

@Maria Have you got the communication they sent you?
