I just read a news report that the passengers on the Norwegian Star were notified after they had boarded this ship that the Antarctic portion of their cruise had been eliminated. Needless to say, the passengers were not happy. I'm sure we have all dealt with missed ports on cruises, but I'll bet that 100% of the passengers on this cruise booked it for the Antarctic experience, not the ports around South America. The cruise line will invoke its right to amend the itinerary, but expect to see lawsuits and bad press.
