Creator's Key Takeaways

No late arrivals, no refunds.

Travel insurance remains the only safeguard in such situations.

Norwegian Cruise Line has issued an August 5th notice reminding passengers that value added tax and sales tax may apply to onboard purchases based on cruise origin and destination.

MSE Cruises has discontinued its easy plus drink package as of August the 1st, though existing purchases will still be honored.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at the terminal well before closure to avoid being denied boarding.
Consider purchasing travel insurance for protection against missed sailings.
