Review summary

The day before we were to go to the Falkland Islands the captain announced we could not go due to weather. Looking at nthe ships navigation the decision was actually made the day before. Port Authority said weather was fine on scheduled day of landing with two othe cruise ships there that day. Norwegian lied to save fuel cost. Avoid at all costs.
