mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So the ship had issues yesterday and is not in Miami yet. Was told by carnival rep "hopefully 3" as for when they expect ship here. Ports have changed from key west and cozumel to freeport and nassau. Getting $50 credit per person.

cruiser fanatic Posted February 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) So the ship had issues yesterday and is not in Miami yet.

Nassau and Freeport are terrible. Are they allowing people to cancel without penalty? If they did, and my dates were flexible I would cancel and reschedule for another time. I see the Fantasy is leaving Ft. Lauderdale now so it should arrive within the next hour or so. She had a tug so there must be something wrong.

mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't know about canceling. I didn't know about the port changed until we were on the plane. I agree though, Nassau and freeport are definitely not equal ports to key west and cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yes, had a short cruise that left ft lauderdale on saturday. Today is just the second cruise after drydock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser fanatic Posted February 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Did Fantasy just come out of drydock? Yes, a good reminder to NEVER book a cruise after dry-dock. I always hear about problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I am not to that point yet but want to see how carnival handles this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMBRERO6 Posted February 22, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The ship is sailing much slower than normal and the technicians are working on it at this time! As I was listening to the Port Everglades web cam, I heard someone say all should be aboard at 5:45 PM. Wishing all safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnew1gd1 Posted February 22, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Plus 25% off a future cruise. Where did you see/hear that? We are on this sailing and weren't told that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted February 22, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hopefully all goes smoothly once you are able to get on board! I also had a bad experience with a ship right before it went into drydock as they shut several areas down a few days before the end of the cruise, and another right after drydock (Things in guest areas weren't ready) - so I'm staying clear on both sides of it now!

Firefighterhoop Posted February 22, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Looks like the ship is right at the half way point now between Port Everglades and the Port of Miami. (3:45pm)... it will be a while still before it gets in. (Still has to sail to the Pilot station, pick up pilot and enter channel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not going to be here until 7pm. Going to get ugly really fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted February 22, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Ship is now on the Port of Miami webcam, way out in the distance still... speed has slowed to 7.5 knots. Wonder if they are waiting for other ships to leave port to bring it in? I see Majesty of the Seas is leaving now. Have they given you an expected sail time yet? What have they given you for a reason? mechanical? Have they let you at least get all checked in so all they have to do is board in an "orderly" fashion? Update: Nevermind... they moved the webcam to zoom in on Majesty so Fantasy is no longer on webcam.

mgoswartz Posted February 22, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Calling it a technical issue. Hope to board at 7pm. Sail at 9:30pm. Now providing shuttles to Bayside but not providing comp for meals (normally provided on ship) or holding unchecked luggage. We are checked in, but the crowd is getting impatient.
