What's Wrong with this Cruise Ship

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses recent operational issues involving the Norwegian Star, noting that many passengers have reported unusual occurrences over the last six months. According to the video, the ship has missed ports or undergone itinerary changes on approximately 85 percent of its cruises during this period. While the cruise line maintains that the ship is in good condition and that there are no engine problems, the creator observes that itineraries for early 2020 have already been modified to include ports that are closer together. This pattern has led to passenger frustration, particularly regarding the lack of communication and inconsistent compensation. Some travelers have received refunds or future cruise credits, while others have received nothing due to waivers included in ticket contracts. The creator suggests that the frequency of these changes may lead some to suspect more severe mechanical issues than are being officially reported. Despite these concerns, the video notes that the ship is currently offering very low prices for upcoming sailings. The creator concludes by advising travelers that while these deals are excellent for those who simply want to cruise, those with specific ports in mind should consider other ships until the situation with the Norwegian Star is resolved.
