Wonderful Greek Isle cruise except the NCL STAR missed one port (Dubrovnik) due to the ship's technical issue. The $100 compensation NCL gave for missing 1 of 5 ports is NOT a fair and equitable compensation.

Due to ship's technical issues. $100 compensation is not fair and equitable considering its 1 of 5 ports of call.

$100 for missing one port -that most of the passengers never heard of anyway- is very generous.

Ditto on being thankful for the$100. Our last cruise had a port that was closed because it was a national holiday. No compensation and everything on the island was closed!!

They didn't have to compensate you at all. Be happy for the $100 and the rest of a wonderful cruise.
