MIAMI, October 21, 2005 – Norwegian Cruise Line is closely monitoring Hurricane Wilma as the storm continues to impact the Yucatan Peninsula and the Western Caribbean. As the safety and comfort of our guests is our utmost priority, the company will be altering Norwegian Dream and Norwegian Sun’s itineraries in accordance with the weather conditions as they are now:
Norwegian Dream (October 22 sailing out of Houston) will now call into Veracruz, Mexico on Monday with an overnight stay and spend a full day there on Tuesday. The ship will spend a day at sea and call into Progreso on Thursday and return to the Port of Houston on Saturday.
Norwegian Sun (October 23 sailing out of Houston) will spend two days at sea, then call into Belize on Wednesday and Roatan, Honduras on Thursday as scheduled. Subject to Hurricane Wilma having moved well away from the Yucatan Peninsula as predicted by Monday or Tuesday, Norwegian Sun will then call into Cozumel, Mexico on Friday if the port is open for cruise passengers. The ship will return to the Port of Houston on Sunday.
As of now, all other NCL vessels will sail as planned.
Because weather conditions involving the storm are constantly changing, the company may need to further adjust itineraries and we recommend that guests continue to monitor the Web site for updates.
The company sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused by these unavoidable changes and thanks its guests for their patience and understanding.
