Eventfull Sailng for Norwegian Majesty

Posted by Michael on 11/17/07

Norwegian MajestyNorwegian Majesty’s arrival into Charleston this weekend has been delayed by one day. The ship will now arrive Sunday, November 18, 2007 because of several factors.

On her return to Charleston, Norwegian Majesty was called by the Bermuda Rescue Command Center to come to the aid of a person in a sailboat who needed immediate medical attention. The passenger is currently being treated on board the ship. Also on the return, high winds and heavy seas necessitated the ship to operate at a reduced speed. In addition, planned maintenance during the ship’s stay in Bermuda included the overhaul of a cylinder head on one of the main engines. Unfortunately, after departure, a seal on the new unit developed a minor leak and required remedial work to correct it. Even if the engine had not had this issue, the ship would not be able to go any faster than the speed she is presently doing because of the heavy seas and strong wind conditions.

As a result, the ship will now arrive in Charleston on Sunday, November 18, 2007 and sail a six-day revised itinerary. Embarkation on Sunday, November 18 will be from 12 noon to 3 p.m. The revised itinerary is as follows:

Day Port

Arrive

Depart

To compensate guests for the missed cruise day, NCL will refund one-seventh of the cruise fare paid, issued as an on-board credit. In addition, we are extending a $50 per person on-board credit ($100 maximum per stateroom) as a gesture of goodwill. We are also offering guests the option to cancel their cruise. In the event that guests decide not to sail, NCL will waive the cancellation fees and provide a full refund.

    We were aboard the Majesty when this occurred and everyone I met raved about how nice it was of the majesty to respond for the rescue and how professionally it was handled. Nice going.
