As perNCL Cruise Cancellation Policyis structured and clear but still has room for improvement. While cancellations made early in the game may result in partial refunds, penalties shoot up so fast towards the date of departure that most travelers are not pleased. The inflexibility on last-minute emergencies does not help. Providing transferable cruise credits or reduced fees on unforeseen circumstances would help the policy become customer-friendly. Despite its transparency, NCL\u2019s strict stance often feels punitive, deterring repeat customers seeking more compassionate solutions for unavoidable cancellations.
