OlsSalt Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2019 From yesterday - high wind cause NCL "Epic Fail" and takes out two support piers trying to dock - all the more reason to trust HAL captains when they have to cancel a port due to weather and sea conditions: https://www.foxnews.com/travel/norwegian-cruise-ship-filmed-crashing-into-mooring-points-in-puerto-rico-epic-fail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stop at Puerto Rico was not part of the itinerary.

I must be missing something but I can't find numbers on most of the posts and when I do find them, they are not always in sequence. So . . . where is post #70, please?
