You think throwing away the cost of the cruise entirely is a choice. Must be nice. My last statement is in regards to the excursion operator who crashed their boat where there was no hurricane. Not even sure how you arrived at sailing through .. this is a Nassau excursion.

That sucks 😞 I know those Santorini reservations need to be scheduled way in advance. This cruise was actually attempt #3 or #4, I forget now. In one of the previous ones, it was out of Athens with a visit to Santorini too I think. For us, they handed us a letter as we walked into the port. The really upset people were the ones that came from Puerto Rico to Miami .. just to cruise right back to Puerto Rico.

This makes no sense. So what if it's a first world problem? Anyone who can afford a cruise is essentially in the same category - so they should just look the other way when they feel they were treated unfairly?

I literally mentioned it in the original post, yet I'm the one that can't read.

Thanks for giving it a bit more thought. It's not like I didn't try to use it. I literally have the tickets still. The terms stated before about the 'value' of the credits is usually meant to protect the cruise line if I don't choose to take an excursion with them. It's essentially not the 'spirit' of the terms to use it against the customer if the cruise line itself doesn't offer options to use the credit. This goes back to hiding behind T&Cs.

I promise you I was much friendlier on board than I am now 🙂 Like I mentioned in the original post, I tried working it out w/customer relations before posting this complaint.

I disagree, I feel it's factored into the cost. But I don't think we'll agree on this so it is what it is.

I just did but I put it in the edit instead, sport. If you think time at home is comparable to time on vacation, we'll never agree.

See $50 excursion credit lost.

I disagree on the awareness, but ok? NCL actually acknowledged that they did not respond about the excursion and apologized for it. But ok .. You do know you keep answering questions with questions, then complaining about responses, right? Regarding time - comparing time at home vs. time in a foreign country on vacation isn't even remotely the same.

I have a hard time listening to people that could not get past the port change and disregard the excursion issue. Who is not listening first? Coincidentally, NCL did the same - they did not even acknowledge the excursion issue until about the 4th response. The time is a big issue - it's in the middle of the day. How risky is it to go and book your own excursion with ~3 hours left?

It's called opportunity cost. And have you never heard time is money? It's nice that everyone here can afford to be so generous w/their time and money. Wish some of it came my way. Could you buy my saddle?

I'm really sorry to hear about the cancellation but I'd assume NCL gave you credits and you can use them later, so all is not lost. Nice that you were able to make something you enjoyed out of it.

Would you expect someone else to have more responses than the OP? Compensation is the only thing I can ask for - how could I get my time back?

I've said it multiple times already, something beyond the refund. At least the token $50 lost credit would have been something - something I technically paid for as part of my package. Compared to the cost of this vacation that's a drop in the bucket.
