Norwegian Joy Cancels Cruise Call Over Port Congestion
Canceling a port over too many ships. That’s what guests sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line are being told for the upcoming Norwegian Joy voyage from PortMiami.
The March 12th cruise aboard Joy will now skip Roatán over what the company is citing “Port Congestion.” In place of Honduras, the ship will now call to Bimini.
NCL said “It is always our intention to maintain original itineraries. However, at times, unforeseen circumstances require us to make modifications.”
On that same voyage, Norwegian Joy has also cut down port hours in Cozumel from 12 to 10 hours, in the name of reducing its carbon footprint.
