Review summary

I booked the Norwegian Pearl for my birthday celebration for 9 days in the Caribbean. Dec 9th to Dec 18th. We never got to the Grand Stirrup Cay, Bahamas we paid Port fees for that stop even though Norwegian didn't because we never stopped. I have called and tried to speak with guest services told to speak with customer service who can't help you ask for a supervisor got Eva placed on hold for 30 minutes then hung up on. Called back got supervisor Jesse he gave me information to file a complaint, but there is nowhere to file a complaint. So it brings me here. They take your money as color blind, but treat you differently when you arrive. African American treated like they weren't on the ship. They damaged my sister's luggage actually broke the wheel of and duct taped it back together with the wheel and that's all we can do. I'm very disappointed. Carnival would never. I want my money back for a trip that was not fulfilled completely. Selina Green

Thank you for review. Most cruise lines reimburse passengers for fees when missed ports. Though, because Great Stirrup Cay is their island, maybe not?

Try to reach out again to NCL, don’t give up!

Since the itinerary is subject to change at any time, I figured they wouldn’t refund you port fees for any port missed. This is likely a fee they have to be on a yearly subscription basis rather than visit by visit. Essentially just don’t expect them to be generous with refunds, which anyone. An tell you, but I hope you enjoyed some of the trip.
