FuninWB Posted October 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Very sorry. This happened to us out of Boston a few years back. The seas must be very rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted October 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2016 So sorry this is happening on your vacation. Hopefully you will be able to salvage some of your vacation making some of your ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol54 Posted October 9, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hey....Bermuda would have been miserable. 3 days of rain. Now army least it will be warm and sunny....worse places to be stuck!!!

donsuej Posted October 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2016 This is a chance you take when booking during hurricane season. Yes, disappointing but keeping a ship full of passengers out of harms way is more important. Be glad you can leave and go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of a son of a ... Posted October 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think what is really chapping ass is not being told ahead of time. It just smacks of dishonesty and less than candid dealing with paying fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyz Posted October 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2016 There are 2 storms out there, what is NCL supposed to do? I've had itineraries change due to hurricanes, it happens. Just try and concentrate on all the fun things you still get to do. If you can, try Bermuda in May or June, we've gone 3 times in May and never had a weather problem.

pathubia Posted October 9, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) We were rerouted 2 years ago. We found out via cruise critic while driving into the port. We knew we werent going to bermuda, we werent sure if we were going to Canada or the Bahamas. We were just happy to be going on a cruise. Hope you have a good time.

jdough789 Posted October 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The same thing happened to us on our Bermuda cruise in 2011. we went to Orlando, the Nassau and Great Stirrup cay. we were disappointed, but still had a good time. It almost happened again in 2012. They departed with no destination and went to Bermuda on schedule, but departed to NY on Thursday, rather than Friday. Please try to have a good time. Remember-a day at sea is always better than a day at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkincc Posted October 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think what is really chapping ass is not being told ahead of time. It just smacks of dishonesty and less than candid dealing with paying fares. Even if they had advised you as you arrived at the dock, your only option would have been to choose not to board, in which case you would forfeit the cruise with no refund as NCL had the right to change itineraries for most any reason. I can't see cruise insurance paying either as the ship will sail. They could offer some reimbursement for the delayed departure, but you ARE on the ship, so I doubt that will happen. But didn't the Sky passengers get a 50% refund for missing Nassau? That might be something to hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike A Posted October 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Nicole has strengthened and will hit Bermuda head on as a Hurricane on Thursday. It is the last place you will want to be. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/145254.shtml?5-daynl#contents That being said the only alternatives left are Florida/Bahamas or NE/Canada since you will only have 6 days with the overnight in NY. The biggest problem is obtaining clearance from the various ports. Try to have a great time no matter where you go.

carol54 Posted October 9, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Absolutely agree. But it stings that we have to pay NYC sales tax on our drinks! LOL Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissaaaaaa Posted October 9, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not a happy sailor. My wife is laying on the couch sobbing. Sorry this happened, but cruising during hurricane season is never a good idea. It's just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissaaaaaa Posted October 9, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think what is really chapping ass is not being told ahead of time.

Again, this is the chance you take by cruising this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of a son of a ... Posted October 9, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I hear all of you, but Port Canaveral is a poor substitute for Bermuda. The line to Guest Services is backed up to the elevator. I tend to consider myself an understanding person, but my shipmates are no shrinking violets - man, there is an anger building here.

flyawayca Posted October 9, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm on this cruise right now. Never been to Bermuda and was excited to go. But oh well, just another reason to come back. I'm sure we will get some sort of credit. Plus I had insurance so I'm getting $500 for the port change. This is what happens when you sail during hurricane season. Not going to stop me from having fun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
