Mr305 Posted January 21, 2013 #26 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have a feeling this won't be fix until she goes in for the overhaul, no need for thrusters to cross the Atlantic. Losing Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay is a big deal, Freeport and Key West don't even come close. As I stated in another post, if this is not fixed by 1/26, I don't see the Destiny making it to Grand Cayman or Jamaica given that one of those ports requires tendering.

I am crossing my fingers that this trip will go as planned or my family and I will be very disappointed. at this late in time to hard to change plans now..but if this happens on jan 26th sailing and they offer full refunds would I be wise to try and book another last minute carnival ship like the 6 nights departing February 3, 2013 on the Carnival Freedom ? or the Valor on Jan 27th ?

Mr305 Posted January 21, 2013 #28 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I hope everything is solved soon, don't know why Carnival waits till the very end to notify those planning to board on the next cruise. Valor is nice ship, never been on it but I've heard/read good things about her. Keep us posted, hope you have a wonderful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sag1804 Posted January 21, 2013 #29 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There is no dock at HMC. Imagine how the ship would float away without those things on. Lol bye bye ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr305 Posted January 21, 2013 #31 Share Posted January 21, 2013 During our HMC visit, the ship was constantly repositioning itself. Later in the day, a storm rolled in and it was a bit hectic for them, each time you would look it was at a different spot. So anchor alone is not enough.

sag1804 Posted January 22, 2013 #32 Share Posted January 22, 2013 do you own a boat? Does not seem like it from that response you just made. You do not simply ANCHOR a 70,000 to 130,000 ton ship buddy. Even on our cobia 24 foot center console you wouldn't just "simply anchor" it as by the time you got back from the island our boat would be long gone or on the sand, depending on tide times and current. :cool: Actually, you simply anchor into the current.

I wouldn't assume someone from NY to know that...as I stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
