The Norwegian Aqua was supposed to sail from Southampton to Boston taking about 7 days but weather was bad and the seas were rough. Instead Norwegian had to change the itinerary with the Aqua going from Southampton to NYC taking 9 days
To say there was major confusion and chaos is an understatement but to make it all worse, Norwegian handled it very very poorly.
I am attaching a youtube video of two travel agents about their experience.

Norwegian can not be blamed for the bad weather and rough seas but they can be blamed for how they responded to the disaster .
And it goes to show all of us how important it is to be flexible and have travel insurance along with having some padding on each end.
And today, I read and saw that one of the cruise guests had tp be medically evacuated by helicoper from the ship. I did not get details.
