Norwegian Pearl - mechanical gremlins & slight itinerary alterations
The gremlins have got to NCL Pearl during her current cruise. It appears that it is a pod problem meaning a slower cruise speed and slight alterations to her planned itinerary. The stop in Victoria is a touch & go (to stay legal for Jones Act purposes) and the time spent in Ketchikan has been reduced.
OBC of $50 per head or a full refund choice has been issued by NCL as this problem was picked up about a fortnight ago.
The ship is not due to drydock in the immediate future, however should her performance deteriorate, she is likely to go to a Bahama drydock shortly after her repositioning to Miami at the end of her Alaska season.
