Review summary

Very upset that NCL waited until 10:10 PM evening before to notify us of port cancellations. I believe they close at 10:00 so we could not contact anyone to discuss options. As a result we were forced to fly to NY as planned and spend an extra day there. Cost us a small fortune between hotel, cabs and meals. U.S. Open was being played, it was Labor Day weekend. Rooms were VERY COSTLY !
