I wanted to make my wife's 50th birthday something she would remember! Well, thanks to NCL, it will be memorable....but not in a good way.

2 Days prior to sailing I receive a call from my travel agent informing me that Skagway was canceled because NCL decided to do maintenance on the propulsion system on the single most expensive sailing of the season. ( Yes I could have picked a less expensive sailing...but again...it fell on my wife's birthday.) I was informed that we were going to get a $100/cabin on board credit...after spending almost $5000 on the cruise. Needless to say I was a tad bit miffed. I called NCL and was politely told to pound sand. I then called the Executive offices...and again, in a much more friendly way told to go "F" myself cuz they werent doing anything for us. I should be happy with the $100 on board credit. Apparently enough people called and they finally refunded one day of the cruise. It sounds nice, but it was still a win for NCL and bolsters their profits. (a mere $78.6 million in 1st quarter 2016 profits)

On to the cruise....really a disappointment: Read more
