Creator's Key Takeaways

we booked an amazing 12 night itinerary on the Norwegian Star to go from rovic Iceland to New York City

I was disappoint appointed that we were not going to acari

I do believe the wording on this letter was just a little bit of whitewash

I still had a great time on our cruise we ate plenty of food had a good time with our friends

YouTube Video Description↓

My summer sailing from Reykjavik to New York on the NCL Star had so many itinerary switch-a-roos that my final itinerary looked VERY different from what I booked. Do you believe that their explanations are plausible? Was it a bait and switch? I know it has happened on other sailings. Will it happen again? I would love your comments to compare stories and to see how many people and to how many different itineraries this has happened.
