Norwegian Jade Suffers Technical Issues in San Juan

   November 19, 2018 ,   Accidents

Norwegian Jade has canceled her scheduled cruise following technical problems during ship's stay in San Juan (Puerto Rico).

On Sunday, November 18, the NCL-Norwegian Cruise Line's vessel could not continue with her 10-day itinerary in the Caribbean, which started on November 16 from Miami Florida, due to a "mechanical problem" that has not been specified. The ship was not able to head to St Thomas USVI.

Norwegian Jade was transferred from Dock 3 of Old San Juan to the Pan American dock so that the passengers can disembark.

The captain, Frank Juliussen, notified the travelers in a letter that Norwegian Jade had suffered a mechanical problem which would prevent them from navigating the scheduled itinerary.

Thus, Norwegian Jade will have to remain in San Juan until Tuesday, November 20, to undergo the needed repairs.

NCL also indicated that they were trying to secure charter flights for the guests back to Miami FL. NCL will pay US$650 per person in fares to all travelers who take a flight to Miami FL on their own.

Finally, NCL stated that it was reimbursing cruise rates and would grant a future cruise credit based upon the cruise fare paid.
