Normally I would never complain public wise, but this is something cruise goers should know. 43 days prior to the cruise below, NCL came back and shared this. They gave $150 credit to those who were hoping to go to Puerto Plata and Cozumel Mexico to sooth the 2 lost ports on a 14 day itinerary. After contacting NCL, they would not credit any cancellations nor would they help or assist in finding a solution to this bazaar change of schedule. The reason I booked the itinerary on the left was because of the vast array of ports on the schedule. NCL knew that by eliminating 2 of the ports for the Breakaway ship they claim maintenance on, that they could probably save thousands on port fees and lost onboard revenue, but also save costs on the fuel it would take to move this mighty ship through the waters to meet such a schedule.
The result...the traveler has no choice but to like it or lump it. No refunds at this point. No switching because of NCL's last minute CHANGE. What do you all think? Would you ride on NCL again after this?
Thanks for reading this. :)
