Sun delayed boarding 3 hrs today due to Customs

The Sun is locked down due to unspecified customs problem. We are all sitting out on the sidewalk with our bags. NCL personnel are not even allowed in the terminal. Hmmm. Expected to open the terminal at 2pm Not a great start to our vacation. But will make the best of it.

Jut heard it was a bomb threat called from a cell phone from on board this morning. The TV news just showed up.

Hope everything is resolved with a good outcome soon for you.

See, things can always be worst.. Lets hope it is just a scare..

Geez people grow up and stop making stupid bomb threats! I just hope it wasnt one of those "unhappy customers from the dec cruise" Have a safe and fun cruise I will be on the sun in march! Hopefully!

The Port Canaveral web cam has been positioned to not show the terminal buildings this morning -- bummer.

Amen to that!

The captain made a PA announcement that we were able to hear. He said they were going to search the entire ship AGAIN with the Coast Guard. Everyone us being diverted. NCL is handling thongs quite well.

Not to make fun of the typo, but wondering how NCL is handling the "thongs". Could be an interesting job.

I was thinking the same thing, but decided to let someone else make the statement.

Okay, that made me laugh. That bunch does seem to lack all perspective, so you never know.

Good luck! I hope the cruise goes smoothly from here on!!

Thong inspectors on the way.

Favorite comments of the inspectors:

1) Hey lady what have you got hidden in there?

2) Hey mister, you call that a weapon?

Sorry for the warped sense of humor this AM

I do hope things go well and you get underway soon.

Really too bad, not a good way to start. We were in the hotel down in Mexico in November. Our first morning the explosion occurred, we did not know what to think lots of flying glass and rocks, It was not a bomb but 7 people died. Best to be safe than wish you had.

Wow, I hope everyone has a SAFE and wonderful trip.

Wow, I hope everyone has a SAFE and wonderful trip.

We are on board now and all is well. Thanks!! The ship is beautiful!

Yay! Glad it all worked out for the better and you're onboard now! Have a safe and wonderful cruise and be sure to come back and fill us in on how things went on the whole trip! :)

another thought is maybe somebody was running late.. thought they may miss the boat and stopped at a pay phone and called it in.. so they wouldnt miss the ship.. i know its a weird ideal but who knows.. Happy sailings ill be on board in march "hopefully"

My husband thought the same thing!! We're supposed to be on her in two weeks - hopefully this was a one time thing.

From the NCL customers I have seen, well that would be the last job I would want, Carnival 3 day cruises, now that is a different story

Update: Norwegian Sun is sailing normally and no further impact to this cruise is anticipated.

A statement issued by the cruise line yesterday said:

"This morning, Norwegian Sun, returning to Port Canaveral from a seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise, received a report of a security threat. The ship immediately notified the appropriate authorities. Following an extensive security sweep of the vessel, the authorities involved determined the threat to be non-credible.

Check-in and embarkation for guests on Norwegian Sun's next cruise, scheduled to depart today, was delayed slightly and began at approximately 1 pm.

The safety and security of our guests is our number one priority. We appreciate our guests' understanding while this situation was resolved."

The ship set sail at about 4 p.m. yesterday on a weeklong Western Caribbean cruise.

So the news reports I am reading say that an employee onboard the ship rec'ved the call. Doesn't that seem strange? Wouldn't it have to be a friend or family member who knew that employees phone number? Or do you think someone called the number you call to reach a guest onboard the ship and just made the threat to whoever answered the phone? I was just confused as they have not specified in any article I have read. I REALLY hope they catch who did it. I know I worked for a company one time that got a bomb threat. Within hours they had caught the person who called it in and it cost them a TON of money between fines and what our company sued for in lost revenue.

WOW.. I never would have thought of that. That would be one way to make sure the ship waited for you.
