To all

 

I am here at the Port and have first hand knowledge from several reliable known NCL sources, that is incident was not "college kids" related or anything to do with spring break and how dare NCL this or that. It was a 52yr old woman distraught about family issues. She was drunk but no different than any other cruises that she could have been on and was not the reason of the incident. I would suggest knowing facts, other than that you were on the cruise before we lay blame. It is a miracle she was found, and alive and leave it at that for the privacy of the family.

Newsweek is reporting the passenger as a woman vacationing with her parents who fell while taking a selfie.

Given that it is not spring break for everyone across the country and that this boat was marketed to spring breakers, there is a definite responsibility on behalf of NCL to have let non spring breakers be aware that this ship was marketed as such. My husband and I have been on over 20 ncl cruises, many of them music cruises, and we have never seen anything like this. My kids couldn't even access the pool through the entire duration. My 14 year old tried climbing in to a hot tub at one point and a fight broke out between the spring breakers warranting security to intervene. We couldn't enjoy our balcony because drunken people were screaming "land ahoy" at all hours, smoking weed, blasting music, and throwing things over board. This is in addition to the multiple bathrooms we went in that were laden with vomit.

We had a great time, but are very disappointed in NCL.
