Donna_In_India Posted August 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 27, 2015 SO glad this didn't happen to us a couple of weeks ago. Had a family group of 11 with great excursions booked! As it is we are on the Oasis Saturday but doing the Western so we should be okay. In any case, we're chilling this cruise (no excursions booked) so we can always find a beach somewhere! Enjoy your cruise everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellotoyou222 Posted August 27, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 27, 2015 wow quick..i just looked 1 hr. ago! what will happen to excursions i set up? what's to do in ocho rios? heard it wasn't the greatest.

travlnblueberries Posted August 30, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We just got off the Getaway. We were told when we got to the port about the change. We picked this cruise for tortilla. Guess we'll have to book again:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarps14 Posted August 30, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) We just got off the Getaway. We were told when we got to the port about the change. We picked this cruise for tortilla. Guess we'll have to book again:D Well if you chose it for the tortillas, you should have been abundantly happy going to Cozumel. (I kid. :D) I'm guessing you meant Tortola (damn you auto-correct!).

nnc0 Posted August 31, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) We just got off the Getaway cruise that was diverted last week. No forewarning. You have to rebook all new NCL tours yourself once you get on board. I think the diversion caught everybody off guard including the port tour operators. Other ships must have had the same diversion and it overwhelmed the port tour operators because the logistical support from them was terrible. In Nassau we waited 2 hrs on the dock before our tour boat arrived. It was pretty hot on that dock with minimal shade and people were suffering. The land side coordinator was terribly unorganized and ignorant - even dismissive. I'd have fired her it was so ridiculous. They didn't even offer water during the delay. Then she marched us all off to the tour boat without a care of keeping the tour group together as she marched us through the throngs emerging from 2 other ships. She was a total incompetent. The tour boat finally arrived but they didn't put bumpers down between the boat and the dock and tie off. The tour boat was jostling and a kid fell down the gap between the boat and the dock. It was terrifying. Everybody jumped to push the boat away from the dock and stop it from killing the kid. He was yanked up bruised and shaken but was relatively unscathed. Nevertheless - a completely unprofessional group of amateurs and incompetents all around. The tour returned to the ship on time of course with no apologies for the lost 2 hrs or poor treatment. Cozumel was much the same. 4 ships all arriving at the same time. Their dock facilities simply aren't up to it logistically and people suffered in the heat.
