Review summary

Everything was wonderful....the food, shows, staff. Although the boat had a minor mishap with the steering and we had to return to the island all was well. The only problem my husband had was when he went to go for his shore excursion which was at 150 pm the tour was cancelled when he went down, therefore he wasted a whole day and it was too late to book another excursion. This is the reason for the 4 stars for it this didn't occur they would have received the 5 stars.

Ship tip

I like the smaller ships for you don't get overwhelmed as with the bigger vessels. It's a more personal and relaxing atmosphere.

Sorry to read that the day was ruined for your husband because of a cancelled excursion.

So the ship was at fault. I would hope that besides a refund they should have also given you dinner for 2 in a restaurant or a bottle of wine or ruining your day.

scober42596,
Thank you for clarifying. I understand what you mean about the day being lost. It has happened to us as well. We got a refund but it was no consolation to the fact that we could have done something else with our time other than sit around all morning.

I booked my excursions with NCL.

I book these a month or two before we go.

They did refund me, but the day was lost.

However, due to the steering problem on the ship which was no big deal, we did get to spend another half day in Bermuda so all was not lost.

Thank you for posting your review! I'm interested to know if the cancellation was an NCL-booked excursion too.

Was the canceled shore excursion booked through the ship or on your own ? I had the same issue when booking my own excursion on St Lucia :-(
