sergeant655 Posted November 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2014 A heads up. The captain has announced a delayed arrival of 2hours in to Port Caneveral tommorow due to strong currents. The ship will be docked by 8:15 with disembarkation to start right away. May be a bit delayed in boarding. CBP could easily delay disembarkation. Phones are being made availble to allow people to change flights.. We missed Caymen and were delayed arriving in Labadee. In the eastern leg that left on he 16. There was a delay arriving in to st Thomas. They left Cozumel 2 hours early to avoid delays. But the currents were too strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare unc1acc Posted November 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Just got the call and extremely bummed. Anyone know what the technical issue is/was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat144 Posted November 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The email from Royal says "due to a technical issue, it will be necessary to modify your sailing's itinerary". My DH is not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted November 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Reading on the forum that must remain nameless that passengers for tomorrow's Freedom of the Seas cruise are being contacted by RCI with an itinerary change due to technical difficulties. Now instead of Eastern Caribbean, they will sail to Nassau, Coco Cay and Cozumel. RCI may have offered compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted November 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2014 FOS has been limping for almost two years now. There's apparently a combination of pod problems, thruster problems, and some other mysterious stuff going on under the waterline (have no clue what, but the last time we were on her there were divers sent down every time we were in a port). Her off-schedule dry dock in January was supposedly necessitated by all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted November 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The e-mail says we will getting a letter tomorrow re new itinerary and compensation. On hold now, trying to get dates to go with the ports. We live in Tampa and have been to Cozumel more times than I can count. Not happy, but we will make the best of it.

AZCactusCruiser Posted November 30, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) RCL said the new itinerary for the 11/30 cruise is 2 1/2 days in Nassau (Mon-Wed), Cozumel on Thursday, and CoCoCay on Saturday. Very, very disappointed. They didn't know what compensation was going to be given. :mad: Edited November 30, 2014 by AZCactusCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniels5759 Posted November 30, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I would not be happy, but would make the best of it. Coco Cay is so iffy and the Bahamas are not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
