We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 coronavirus situation and the global health environment. With COVID-19 continuing to impact communities and ports around the globe, we have extended our voluntary temporary suspension of all voyages through November 2020 and cruises on Norwegian Star, Norwegian Spirit, and Norwegian Dawn through March 2021.”
For guests that are seeking refunds, Norwegian is issuing future cruise credits that can be used through 2022 according to their website.

This article is inaccurate. Spoke with NCL this morning about my Alaskan cruise planned for August 1 - 8. That is still on for now. No cruises have been canceled officially beyond the previously announced July 31 date.
