Review summary

See disembarkation reviews We were third in line to disembark due to platinum status and self assist but when they scanned sail and sign card we were told security would like to talk to us to have a seat. After several attempts to find out why and 30 minutes later and security never showed up said we could leave

Thanks. Success is standing behind the IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH ... and FORSAKING ALL OTHERS ... until DEATH DO WE PART ! We survived VN - hubby a stroke - buried our 16 yr old son - hubby heart transplant- and here we are. He had his 21st heart transplant birthday on 5/3. I m proud of our marriage and accomplishments. God tied the knot for 19 n 20 yr old snot nose kids in 1962.

kitten1943 - if you bought that much jewelry on the ship they should have escorted you off while handing you glasses of champagne ð¥

Jewlery! I got flagged coming off Norwegian Pearl as we purchased quite a bit of jewlery. Treated me scarey ... no one told to keep receipt out of suitcase. Felt like one bad *** crook. Rest of our party at the taxi n me on the gang plank trying to get off. 73 n hardly a crook. They finally passed me on. Only bad thing ever on the Norwegian Pearl. ð±ð¥

Maybe a glitch in their system. They were probably having others as well and that is why they didn't get to you. that is a busy time.

Agreed. You don't hear about this happening too often. You got lucky and hit the disembark flag lottery.

Yes we did. They should have had someone come tell us the issue. It should not have taken 30 minutes and never explained .

Did you pre pay gratuity as well? That's the only thing that would post to the on board account if not prepaid before the cruise. Weird they wouldn't tell what the issue was. Somehow your account got flagged. Likely the crew manning the station just saw a flag to stop disembarking but couldn't themselves see why.

Was your account settled? Sounds like what they do if your account isn't charging to a credit card properly.
