UPDATE II: NCL’s Statement:

At approximately 1:30 pm ET today, a high wind squall caused Norwegian Star’s aft mooring lines to break while the ship was docked in Bermuda.  There were no injuries, and after a short time of being at anchor, the ship re-docked alongside at the pier.

Norwegian Star is on a seven-day cruise to Bermuda that departed New York on Sunday, September 9. At this time, the ship is expected to depart Bermuda as scheduled today.

The Norwegian Star sails weekly round trip voyagers to Kings Warf out of Manhattan.
