ROCruiser Posted July 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Anyone knows what caused the 10hr plus delay in Stockholm? It's still at dock. Family on board will miss their flights, scrambling for alternatives. They are not being told of the reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlairways Posted July 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2016 We are on the same cruise. We will miss our flights on new ETA as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted July 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2016 We feel very sorry for you, any other port and you would have been able to make up time by missing Stockholm. At least you got to see it, we missed it totally a couple of years ago when doing the Baltic. Then it was too rough to get into port, perhaps the reverse is true. Good luck with changing flights. Another reason for arriving at embarkation port a day early and for leaving the debarkation port late in the day or on the next day. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star is in Stockholm as the last port of call during its Baltics cruise. She was supposed to depart 4pm Sat to go to Copenhagen for the disembarkation. But she is still holed up in Stockholm and the OP and the next poster are saying they will miss their scheduled flight out of Copenhagen as the ship will dock late. There is a sea day between Stockholm and Copenhagen - perhaps the captain will put the Star in speedboat mode to catch up ... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and I said if it had been any other port then the ship could have missed Stockholm" to get back on schedule. There is a sea day between Stockholm and Copenhagen - perhaps the captain will put the Star in speedboat mode to catch up ... ;) To catch up 10+ hours in a 36 hour period would be phenomenal. Also if they know they are going to miss their flights as they have a "new ETA" as stated that is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-Badger Posted July 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2016 We are boarding Monday and heard in the roll call it's mechanical. Not gospel but that's what someone currently onboard is telling us. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzCanuck Posted July 4, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Also is the sail into Stockholm thru a fjord? I heard very scenicThanks Not a fjord - just lots of little islands and waterways.
