BND

It's Saturday. My Gov agency used to do upgrades over weekends. We'd then come in on Monday morning to a myriad of problems a couple of times a year. They always announced it because they wanted people to leave their computers turned on so we all knew what to expect lol.

We're on Jewel on Nov 6 who will be homeported there starting that day. There will be two ships starting then. And, we're b2b so we are doing 13 nights parked there. I prefer T1 but last Nov, we had to park in the side lot because there were three ships using that one. And, at only about 50% capacity so they had to do something which is one reason Mariner was moved to T5.

Someone just posted on FB that they talked to someone at Royal who said it could be 24 hours.

Someone on FB said they talked to RC and were told it could be 24 hours.

I'm just still getting the reloading of the log in page on the website. App still only shows some basic items and not actual cruise. And, only 4 circles/links at the bottom (no check in for example).

It's not that it's not covered by insurance but they don't accept insurance. You have to file yourself with your own insurance company and depending on your policy, they may not pay or it will just go towards a deductible as it's out of network. Also, for injuries that happen on board or on sponsored excursions, they usually treat at no cost.

I had a sinus infection for almost two weeks (during and after our spring cruise). I went to urgent care the day after we got home with 101.5 temperature and lots of congestion, coughing, etc. Protocol is not to give antibiotics until at least 10 days of symptoms (I was at 7 at that point) because the vast majority clear up on their own which mine did. BTW, I was neg for flu and Covid (PCR and rapid). They told me to use OTC's and flonase. So, what they did is standard practice now. Antibiotics are over prescribed and over used.

We had Coco Cay cancelled several times before the pier was built. One time, we just went straight to Nassau for an overnight instead of just the next day scheduled port visit so we had more than 24 hours. They added excursions as we were approaching Nassau. This was on GR a few years ago, so you had to book them via the excursion desk but they did have some.

That's what I was asking. Thanks! I don't get why it's different at T5 than at other Terminals in PC. As I said, someone posted that they're going to transition to pay as you enter soon.

Seems to me to be more updates gone bad. Since we can get to sign in pages and see parts of the app, it's not a denial of service or a complete server crash. If that was the case, we'd be getting errors like "404 page not found" or "503 Service Unavailable".

That's also being reported on FB. The fact we can get to the pages we can means it's not a total server crash, but it seems more like updates gone bad.

I wonder what their definition of "soon" is. The website was having some issues yesterday and it's been about 6 hours since I first tried to get on this am.

I can open the app, but it is incomplete. No cruises listed and the links at the bottom are missing several.

Neither is working today for anyone apparently. There are a lot of posts on FB about it also.

If you include tips they receive for luggage, they can easily make 100K and more, even in FL. How much do you think 100K in 2015 would be today? I looked it up, it's about 110-125K depending on the site, not out of the realm of possibility at all. Even in Baltimore, where these guys are only loading luggage a couple of times a week for ships that have less than 3000 passengers each, they can make a lot. For example, you can figure they are working twice a week or so on average loading the two ships there. Say, only 2000 of the passengers on each ship use them for luggage and each only has one bag and tips $1/bag. And, that's being conservative. We usually tip $5 for 2 or 3 bags. Just a quick calculation shows that would be around 35K in tips alone if you figure there are 6 longshoremen working. There's usually 3 or 4 at the main drop off for people parking and another 2 or so at the drop off for everyone else (bus, taxi, car service). Now, in FL, I'm sure they all work 3 or more days on average doing luggage for larger cruise ships. Also, remember, reporting tips on taxes is up to the individual...

App and Website are both messed up this morning. Website cycles back to sign in page whenever I try to sign in and App isn't working when I click on check-in (which I did yesterday on the app). It just has the circling logo and no way to back out so it's stuck on that now. I could see the main page.

And, as of a couple of minutes ago, I can't log into the website at all. It keeps returning to the sign in page. Obviously, they are doing something with the site. App is also being wonky.

That is what I'm seeing on the website even though I've checked in on the app just this morning for our 6 Nov cruise. I can see everything on the app. My DH doesn't see this. He can see everything and just printed our boarding passes. So weird. All we need is photos now and we can do those from the app, but I don't get why he can see what I can't. We have the same laptops, both Windows 11, both using Chrome on the same wifi connection. Makes no sense at all. I've also never seen the above until today.

Not likely since the storm didn't make it past the mountains in DR and turned north. For future reference, Labadee is built with modern building standards and can and has withstood a lot worse.

Website has been wonky for different things. I couldn't check in this morning for our 6 Nov cruise. I did it on the app, no problem. But, the website still says to come back later. My cruises (5) are all showing up fine and the one I checked in for this morning on the app shows that I can edit check in or view boarding pass so it sees I've done it, but won't let me do anything with it on the website.

And, we have a cold front going through now (No VA) that will drop our temps. There will be lows in the 40's this weekend overnight so heat may be needed for some.
