  1. So they made a mistake. Is your agent doing something to work with them for maybe FCC for the difference? Tbh I think both offers were very generous and many people were happy to take the cash. Maybe your agent can persuade them into giving something extra to make up for their error?
  2. The OBC was refundable to your card. Did you tell them you didn’t want this when it appeared on the ship account? It appeared on everyone’s but then was taken off when I said I wanted FCC. Have you spoken to them about it since it or when you were on the ship?
  3. As far as I’m aware everyone got the letter offering both. I’m in the U.K. as well and everyone on the cruise I met with from the U.K. seemed to get the same offer. So what nationality didn’t get both offers?
  4. They would never give 50% refund of the taxes as they have to pay the port fees. We all got a refund for the missed port as well.
  5. The FCC was 50% of cruise fare paid less taxes not 2 days, that was the amount for the refund, applied immediately. This was the choice for everyone regardless of where they were from. I’m not sure what you mean about unequal treatment? I rang Azamara this morning and got told our FCC on the phone and given the voucher numbers. They were on our account but we hadn’t been emailed. I suggest if you haven’t heard to ring Azamara direct.
  6. We missed Monaco and 5.5 hours in Barcelona (docked at 6.30pm instead of 1pm for an overnight stay) and gained an afternoon in Livorno, the issue was resolved in 18 mins and was a "board" in an electrical cupboard that failed, they swapped it out and everything was fine (Captain G told me this) but Italian red tape (Livorno harbourmaster) caused the extra delays. You should fine to cruise as we had no issues the rest of the trip and it was a fantastic cruise.
  7. I agree, thats exactly how it was, a very generous offer
  8. They did give compensation during the Prima TA of a 25% discount as a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) for passengers to rebook their cruise, adding a 50% FCC for those who choose to sail on any European voyages in 2023, this was because they missed Isafjordur and (an overnight I think in) Reykjavik. I'm not saying they should or will give it for this cruise but its not unheard of.
  9. I understand that but you said at first they were mistaken and thought you were looking for compensation for the missed port and said it would be obc and when you clarified it they refunded you for the shore excursion
  10. So you did confirm though that they are giving us obc for the missed port? I wasn’t expecting that, did they say how much?
  11. I’m sure Prima can and does tender, maybe because they have been told there will be a new dock at Isafjorder they are refusing to tender there? Who knows? It’s been cancelled again for the cruise before ours with “tidal conditions” cited as the reason I believe, they’ve replaced it with a sea day which isn’t good as the weather isn’t good enough to use the outside spaces, at least if it was replaced with more time in another port (as previously) it might help offset some of the disappointment of missing Isafjorder. This must be having an impact on the tourism industry in that place too.
  12. So every time they say a missed port is due to tidal restrictions that’s true? Pull the other one, that’s the reason they’ve been giving for them missing Isafjorder in Iceland multiple times, when everyone knows it’s because the new dock hasn’t been constructed and it’s delayed, (that’s not NCL’s fault)
  13. We’ve just had a notification from NCL to say our port call in Zeebrugge on Prima on 7th August has been cancelled due to tidal restrictions, maybe they don’t have replacement gangways yet?
  14. I think he means when he stayed in the suite on deck 7
  15. Oh no! I’m a light sleeper too, maybe I should have picked deck 6 after all 🙄
