triptolemus Posted July 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2016 How does NCL handle these situations? NCL has a team of a half-dozen or so employees in Miami. Their only job is to wish away bad weather. Each ship used to have its own weather wishing team, but due to recent cutbacks, the program has been centralized in Miami.

taszmom Posted July 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The weather is what it is this time of year, chill. The captain will cruise around the bad weather. And if you dont get to do your excursions you will be reimbursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very excited about the change, but there were just as many disappointed people. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a great job of sailing out of the way and setting up new excursions for you to book if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridian1 Posted July 31, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted July 31, 2016 ok..so i guess that was the answer I was hoping for, they will make an attempt to go to other ports if they need to. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye rob Posted July 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) We were on the Oasis I believe docked next to you in Cozumel last August. Didn't know you were diverted also. Have been to Cozumel a few times. Our other change was Costa Maya. Wasn't impressed. Hope we don't get diverted again, but still beats not being on the cruise. Those poor folks in the hurricanes path have to weather it out and cannot "divert". Aren't you on Escape in 3 weeks with us ? :) Regards, Gerry Last August we were on the 8/20 sailing of the Getaway, and a hurricane (Danny I think?) was heading to St. Thomas, so they sailed out of its path and went to Ocho Rios and Cozumel instead of St. Thomas and Tortola.

OCruisers Posted July 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's that time of year! As long as it's not hitting your embarkation port, you'll be fine. Your itinerary may possibly change .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
