shellysuecrt Posted August 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm hoping someone can give us the scoop on what the maintenance is, I just received the same email. Here's to a safe cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymite19 Posted August 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I received the message also (via text). Our hotel check-out in Miami is 11am and we expected to be at port by 11:30am at the latest. Now we cannot get on the ship until 2pm at the earliest? Not sure what cruisers are supposed to do with the 4 extra hours. I am envisioning very long lines, etc. Not a great first impression of Royal Caribbean! I'm hoping someone can give us the scoop on what the maintenance is, I just received the same email. Here's to a safe cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty G Posted August 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The only unresolved issue I am aware of as a recent cruiser is the almost non existent A/C in a portion of the Casino. We have been delayed on numerous cruises when we had transportation from our Hotel to the port. The Hotel transportation was rescheduled to coincide with the new departure schedule. RCI is damned when they do and damned when they don't do something. Relax folks and enjoy your vacation!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they are expecting really hot weather so they need to fix it. Just annoys me that we lose 3 hours on the ship. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
