rjg41 Posted June 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2005 This happened to a lady on our Infinity South American cruise in Feb./Mar. this year. They fell in the water during loading in Valpariso. Celebrity did the following: 1) Gave here $500 credit in the emporium so she could get clothes while they got her's cleaned. 2) Promised to replace any that did not clean up properly(we understand they cleaned up beautifully) 3) Upgraded her to one of the stern suites. 4) Purchased her new luggage. There may have also been other things they gave her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 13, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2005 We watched in Singapore while several bags 'took the plunge' while being transferred off the shiip. Not sure what happened with these but I felt so bad for the owners of this luggage. I can't even imagine going to pick up your suitcase and have it dripping wet inside and out. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladylynne Posted June 13, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2005 thanks mamatene for the interesting article. It just goes to show why trip insurance is so important. My husband is skepticle about buying it since we have cruised before without it... after reading all the what if's....It's so important to have it!

MaryPoppinz Posted June 13, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2005 It may not be convenient for some people or on some trips, but carrying your own luggage on/off board usually prevents this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidayathesea Posted June 13, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Are you able to carry on and off your own luggage if you would like to? Also, this may sound like a stupid question, but what is the gangway like that you use to board the ship? Is it level with the ground usually or is it an incline?

cpayne Posted June 13, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Do all Princess ships allow self disembarkation? We'll be on the Golden in Nov and are hoping this is offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryPoppinz Posted June 13, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I've self-disembarked on several Princess ships in several ports, as well as carrying my own luggage on. I'm pretty sure that varies depending on both ship and port. But, I haven't had any trouble. The gangways vary depending on the pier. Some are straight, some are very slightly inclined, and others have a few stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidayathesea Posted June 13, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Do you know what the gangway is like at Fort Lauderdale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
