Why do you go backwards in functionality when you build newer ships? There are a few other ships that also have no own tender boats. I personally don`t see it as a problem if you use the ship in a region where you can garantueed dock in every port. So the problem is not the missing tenderboats but sending the prima into a region where there is a realistic chance that you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still keep listing Isafjordur and selling excursions for there. So far they have cancelled it for every Prima cruise. There can't be that many more before the ship takes on a new itinerary. And sometimes you need tenders even at a normal docking port. We were once in Corfu. There were 3 ships and 2 spots to dock. Our cruise ended up the one tendering.

It is not on the website…it was taken off the itinerary for the next two cruises. It’s not listed until a month out. Iceland says they are working on it with false promises, so it’s reasonable that NCL doesn’t just outright cancel it the rest of the season. Can you imagine if they cancelled and then it was ready and they had to add port fees? Then people would complain they’re getting charged more. You can’t win with the complainers.

By now everyone who is still to be sailing with Isafjordur as one of the listed ports has paid in full a long time ago, so how would they now have to add port fees? I am sure they have already, and note they are NOT crediting them back to anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
