Disembarkation

4 out of 5

I was given incorrect information on the time ot disembark. We were of the ship by 8am. I was told we could not disembark before 12 noon so I booked a late flight home. Due to this mis informatio, we were stuck sitting at the airport for 8 hours. This also caused our connecting flight to be canceled.

How did this cause your flight to be cancelled? Seems like maybe poor planning on your part?

Like another commenter said, they probably said don’t book a return flight before noon, that is the normal recommendation as you would have plenty of time to make your flight. Also, you chose not to take part in activities that cost extra, it’s not that you couldn’t do them. NCL doesn’t hide the fact that some things are not included. They are not a required part of the trip, choose to pay for them or don’t do them. This is why you always research the cruise beforehand.

I don’t know who on earth told you that you couldn’t disembark until noon. That’s patently absurd. As for the extra expenses for onboard activities, the go carts, laser tag, and Vibe beach club are the only things with extra fees, and they’re all optional. Bingo also extra fee and optional. Entertainment and many dining options are included.

If the ship was scheduled for 8AM Then 12/ noon flight would be appropriate. Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand?
