It appears that Norwegian Cruise Line has added another ship to its cancellation list. Just yesterday, we learned that Norwegian Breakaway would be the 12th ship in the fleet to pause and/or delay operations by at least 2 weeks. Now, guests onboard the current 10-day sailing received notification that their Norwegian Gem sailing was cancelled.
Norwegian Gem Sailing Cancelled
The letter to guests cited COVID-related circumstances as the reason for cancellation of the reminder of their Norwegian Gem cruise.
Thus, the ship will begin its return journey to New York today after its overnight in St. Maarten. Though, the letter did not say when the ship will arrive back in New York.
Given the situation, guests are receiving a full refund automatically to their original form of payment. Additionally, guests will receive a 50% Future Cruise Credit and $100 onboard credit per stateroom. Guests will receive this upgraded FCC by January 20th and can use it on cruises through May 31, 2023.
Norwegian Gem is not on the cruise line’s growing list of cancellations on its website just yet. Currently, it is not known if additional sailings on the ship are cancelled. Given the trend, we presume this ship will be taking at least a two week pause as well.
