I can't answer the last part of your question about passengers leaving on the ship, but I did see this in the NY Post. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/63443.htm snip The storm that battered the Big Apple caught many New Yorkers by surprise, but none more than Micki Vega, who was as unprepared for the city's worst storm as anyone possibly could be. After more than two feet of snow blanketed New York, Vega stepped off a cruise ship docked at a West Side pier wearing nothing more than a pink jogging suit and canvas running shoes — with no socks. Unable to trudge through the knee-high snow with her three bags, Vega, 55, paid $50 for a cab to take her 20 blocks to Penn Station, where she waited for a LIRR train to take her home to Deer Park. And waited. When she got there, her train was not running, and she was stuck at Penn Station with hundreds of passengers. Days earlier, she was soaking up the sun in San Juan, Puerto Rico, enjoying the last leg of a 10-day Caribbean cruise. "This is not a relaxing vacation anymore," said Vega, who was traveling with her husband and another couple. end snip |

Uh...it's still February in NYC. Isn't kind of silly to expect to be comfortable in a jogging suit, sneakers and no socks - with or without the huge storm we got? Yes, we've been lucky enough to enjoy a relatively mild winter so far. But, come on. It's not rocket science. February in NCY could mean frigid temperatures and/or snow. Go figure.

10 days ago the weather would have warranted Ms. Vega's attire. While that's true, 10 days ago, we were having "unseasonable" conditions. To expect those conditions is where you run into problems. Disembarking in NYC in February, one should be prepared for exactly yesterday's conditions, and then they'll have a pleasant surprise if they luck into one of those 55°F days we enjoyed earlier this month.

I agree, but who knows, maybe after the new precedent set by Cunard, the inconvenienced passengers will demand a full refund from Norwegian. Can you imagine the gall of the cruise line to have winter weather in February in New York City. |
