I can see it from my windoinw and it looks very pretty, but I am wondering the same thing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted February 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Hi Everyone, My guess is, it was a combination of bad weather in the Northeast, and that Celebrity was loading numerous items for the addition of Luminae to the starboard side of Deck 3, of the MDR. I disembarked Equinox today, and was told that construction was beginning today, and was expected to last for 3 sailings.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted February 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Maybe because of all the complaining about Luminae construction disruptions, they decided to hold Equinox in port until the work is completed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disembarked Equinox today, and was told that construction was beginning today, and was expected to last for 3 sailings. The fact that there were 3 ships that did not sail till the 6:30 time frame would makes me think it was the weather impacted them all. Guess we will see when someone post that is on these sailings.

c-legs Posted February 4, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Carnival and Celebrity were both delayed over 2 hours and sailed away one after the other, right behind Queen Victoria who left a mere 15 minutes late. My take is ;;weather related......but Zuiderdam and Connie both left relatively on time....:confused: Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post was a possible consideration and had as much input as yours and others as it's pretty obvious to the majority that flights were cancelled yesterday :rolleyes:. A possible consideration that Celebrity would leave a ship at the dock till a construction project is completed without any prior notification to any of the passengers that their sailing was being held for this? How silly. As c-legs said, 2 sailed on time, 1 was 15 minutes late, and 2 were over 2 hours late. On the Cunard board people on the World cruise that had to get off, go thru customs, then re board have posted about problems at the customs stations with short staffing, and not being allowed to get back on for hours. I guess some of the custom officers missed their flights from Miami.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there were most certainly late flights booked thru Choice Air that they held up the sail away for. There has been a post from a couple that booked their own air, didn't make it! Thankfully they had the foresight to buy insurance. But when other lines ship are held also, one can not help but wonder if something else was a miss, hence the reason for my asking the question in the first place. Not as a joke or silly thread.

Here ya go...(also, I didn't take it as a joke or silly thread) Quote: Queen Victoria World and Exotic Voyages 2015 FYI for those of you getting on board in Ft Lauderdale, it's 1:00 pm now, and the debarkation process has been delayed due to the immigration's computer problems earlier this morning... Passengers getting off in FT Lauderdale are still in the debarkation process, once they're done, us (in-transit passengers) will go through the immigration to get back on board again. I assume after that they'll start embarking the new passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lola2013 Posted February 4, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Motherchic, I'm sailing with you next week...there is construction in the dining room...making way for a new restaurant for suite passengers. Lots of conversation about which space will be affected. It just began a couple of days ago. See you soon. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
