I feel so bad for all who are on board  and for those who were looking forward to tomorrow's cruise. 

And I hope everyone makes it home safely.....

We're actually both of those, not sure what to do at this point

The latest update is you will be heading back to Cozumel on 9/4 if you stay on board.

Now text messages are being sent instructing people to call a recording which says the 9/1 cruise has been shortened to a 4 day cruise setting sail on  9/4.

Nothing to do with NCL. They only left Cozumel because the US Coast Guard thought the port would be open tomorrow. Then, at noon today, promptly raised hurricane condition from WHISKY to YANKEE (no inbound).

So you are saying that NCL was likely advise by noon 8.31.19 that POM was closed?  

 

The passengers were not advised until 10:00PM.   Many had scrambled to check in their flights or rearrange flights after being told previously to cancel them because of the extended stay in Cozumel.

 

The ship left Cozumel at 11ish on 8.30.19 because they chose to wait to pick up 25 passengers that took a independent shore excursion that would return them to the ship at 10:30PM.   They had been advise they only needed to be back to the ship by 4AM Saturday for pier change.    I have been assuming that only if NCL just left those folks in Cozumal  it could have left at 5:30 as originally scheduled and docked in Miami by 9PM 8.31.19 and overnighted.   We were only 89 nautical miles away when the announcement was made at that 10PM address.

 

What a waste of passenger and airline time if they really knew by noon they were not going to Miami!
