(According to NCL facebook group) Well I am on the Facebook group for this sailing as I'm on the next and want to make sure everything is ok and the posts in the last 10 min is people learning to dance, getting in their cabins and seeing a tug to get them out so I think your info is bad. We will know in 10 min cus she is supposed to depart and no one is saying they were told to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggooglyboogly Posted February 18, 2019 #504 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The AIS shows a tug currently alongside - tugs wouldn't show up early enough to sit and wait for 3000 people to disembark in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new hips1 Posted February 18, 2019 #505 Share Posted February 18, 2019 We where on the Epic last week, engine problems all week. We where dead in the water several times, once for over 2 hours.We we're eating dinner and watched the pier sink, we never felt a thing. My big complaint was the pounding of hammers and sawing that took place at 2 am two nights in a row. Found out they are on a one year maintenance of the stacks or scrubbers. Beware if your room is near these areas, no compensation of any kind, just saying sorry just doesn't cut it. They should have said, here's some earplugs. Get over it...really Norwegian , you can't schedule maintence during daylight hours?????????? Having to go thru corporate to give you anything. ( We'll make it right on your next cruise maybe) really not a good policy. So much for making you happy on your vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On facebook someone posted three pictures of the damage, but funny that two of the pictures were the Epic and the one in the middle obviously another ship, because the Epic doesn't have dots above the damage.

Capt_BJ Posted February 18, 2019 #513 Share Posted February 18, 2019 well, propwash looked normal as they passed fishlips so the tugs may have been a precaution until everything 'tests' OK ... hard to say but if you were gonna get stuck in Canaveral for the day, this was a good one. Hit 86 at my house. case closed this unit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd doubt it .... You DID sail plus isn't NCL already giving a lot of 'considerations'? OTOH every policy is different so all you can do is ask. My belief is the insurance covers unexpected costs due to not sailing etc. You DID sail plus isn't NCL already giving a lot of 'considerations'?

Not all of us are lucky enough to live in Florida and be able to just cruise again in a year. Yes, they are giving us money towards another cruise however there are many more expenses that go along with going away. I am not complaining I am just stating a fact. They also are only covering $300 per person for air changes which doesnt cover it. My question was just inquiring if Travel Insurance would cover what they dont. / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
