Wow and you claimed you could not understand my post.

I hope RCI do change their mind and cancel all sailing for the next 30--60 days. At the present time it make the company appear as if they only care about their staff and passengers that cruise from  the US.  

I'm surprised they have only cancelled sailing out of the US.  

Saga has cancelled cruises

Hi Jo89315 welcome to CC

It's perfectly natural to worry about your parents but there maybe an innocent reason why they have not been in contact with you.

On my parents last cruise my dad forgot his charger (and for course his battery was low) and my mum forgot her phone.  

Please let us know if they do get in touch with you.

There is no curfew. The door is open all the time.

We have always slept on the ship during overnight stay so I don't if you have to inform the ship if you decide to stay in town.

 On P&O you would receive an Horizon leaflet each evening with a list of everything that is going on the next day, and this would include times of shows etc.

On Royal the leaflet is called the Cruise Compass and if you don't mind self service, eat in the Windjammer (buffet on deck 14)

"REPLY to Response to Motion re30 Amended MOTION TO DISMISS1 Complaint,28 Order on Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim,,, Order on Motion to Compel,,, Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply/Answer,,, Order on Motion to Strike,,, Order on Motion f filed by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.. (Chardon, Carlos)"

This is the latest from the civil case.  Not sure I understand what it means but thought I would post it, in case someone else can make sense of it

sometimes gifts are sent but there is no note attached, so the recipient will have no idea that you sent the item. 

This happened to us. My parents received the gift I sent them but as there was no label they thought it was from the ship. They were novice cruisers at the time

Never know what type of response you'll get, but good luck.  Hope you all are feeling much better.

mbayley@rccl.com

I have to agree.  You may get nothing but it might make you and your husband feel better, that you have written to them.

If you find yourself in a similar situation try to borrow some books and games from Adventure Ocean.

Hope you are all feeling better 😊

Then they told me they wouldn’t discuss it with me, only my TA. Then when my TA called and conferenced me in, they told her they wouldn’t know what happened until the ship came back.

Is it normal that if you are denied boarding you have to wait for the ship to return before RCI will talk about the reason for the denial?

The officer is nobody special, whether "on duty" or not. 

When in a public place, there is no expectation of privacy, so no permission is needed to take photos or publish them.  

Just like everyone who posts a picture at the beach, or on the Promenade or pool deck of a cruise ship, or at a parade.... public means not private.

 

 

Thank you for explaining

Why would they need to?

I would have thought that any officer when on duty would have to give consent if their picture is to be used by a third party (not RCI).

On page 39 I hope they got the officer's permission to be photographed? 

Any news on the civil case? 

I thought the parents had to respond by 02/26/2020 to RCI's request for the claim to be dismissed?

You can afford a cruise, you can afford a funeral.

I have no problem with them struggling to pay for a funeral, as it has come as an unexpected expense.

My problem is with the apparent lack of insurance (either because they could not afford insurance or decided not to have insurance). 

I'm assuming that if they had insurance the cost of the funeral would have been covered or part covered by the insurance.

Knowing that Kim Wiegand is an attorney (as of 2018 she was a Deputy Prosecutor in St. Joseph County IN), I would assume she had the contract drawn up such that they wouldn't owe any fees. However, without seeing the agreement it's impossible to know.

Kim would have been in mourning, so maybe she did not read the contract.

Yes RCI do increase the base price of a cruise to cover your free drink package.

With reference to the blood alcohol test - just look at the guy's sea pass card swipes

 

The staggering thing is this man wants to relive this horror in a court of law rather than just accept his personal guilt and live with it like a man

Anello may never accept what he has done because he has blocked out the incident. Once he blocked out how/why Chloe fell he needed to come up with a version to tell the police and family. For Anello this new version, of events, has become what really happened and not what actually happened.

The pros include better prices and free cancellation and full refund of deposit up to Final Payment Day. I THINK it’s up to you to check how prices change, you won’t automatically be informed or your price be reduced.

Not all booking are refundable deposit. Some cruise lines offer US citizens both refundable and non-refundable deposit cruises.  Mim Lloyd will need to check if she wants a refundable deposit cruise.

I know where Chloe's mother was, at the time of the accident, GS but does anyone know where her father and brothers were?

I'm just curious as in post #845 mitsugirly reports that the court papers state that 'Anello came up to the H2O Zone to look after Chloe'

Please remember a little girl died.  Her family will never be the same.  Leave all assumptions alone and let the courts sort it out.  I hope none of the family or friends ever see this thread.

Have you thought that some of the friends and family may have doubts about the family's version of events?

By reading this thread the ones with doubts may find some comfort knowing that others doubt the family's version of events

I think there is a lot wrong with this country, including our newly found inability to tolerate anyone with a different opinion.  You are welcome to your opinion and to express it, as am I.  One of the best things about America is that you and I have the right to discuss this, and the family has the right to challenge if Royal should have done more to protect their child.  The courts will decide this, the family will be in pain no matter what, and Royal will be fine no matter what.  

I agree with you. The parents do have the right to sue Royal but the question is should they?

Chloe's death was a tragic stupid accident. I understand that the parents are trying to prevent another child dying the same way as Chloe but what about their own other children?  What message are they sending out to their other children?

"Hey kids it's ok to do something stupid because we will find someone to sue, as they should have known you would have done something stupid"

 If Anello was a billionaire, I think that Anello would have gotten sued, not RCCL (perhaps both).

I don't think this is the case. I think the family cannot come to terms with the fact that GF did something so stupid. 

The family may not be able to come to terms with the stupidity of the GF actions until after his court case.

I think its great you are taking a solo cruise but please don't be too mad at your family. Try and take some comfort that are concerned about you. Some people don't have families to worry about them.
