As a result of the delayed arrival, the next scheduled 14-night Caribbean cruise from New York on Jan 5 will have a delayed departure. This means the ship turnaround will need time including new supplies. Thousands of passengers will also need to disembark from the previous voyage first. NCL has apologized on its site for any inconvenience.
