cruise47 Posted November 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Why did the Carnival Sunshine arrive in Norfolk,VA after 10:00 AM today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare finoky Posted November 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2016 After leaving Grand Turk, heading back, we had a sick passenger that needed immediate medical attention. We detoured over to Nassau to drop the passenger off. That put us behind and didn't arrive in Norfolk until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDidly Posted November 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Looks like those cruising out of Charleston will only have a four day cruise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzeluver Posted November 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 6, 2016 We are on the Charleston cruise leaving today. We are not losing a day. Embarkation is starting later than scheduled, but we should still be leaving close to our original departure time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare finoky Posted November 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2016 What time were you able to leave the ship? We did self assist and was one of the first 10 people to leave the ship. We were off and outside by 12:25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthinva Posted November 7, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2016 We were in Norfolk visiting the Nautalus when the Sunshine docked. It was great to see it arrive. Passengers were still exiting the ship after 4.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdmundXXIII Posted November 12, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I was on the Sunshine when we arrived in Norfolk. As others have said, due to a passenger having a medical emergency needing to be dropped off in Nassau, we arrived in Norfolk late, around 12:30. But once we arrived, some passengers who were in a rush to get off (who checked luggage) tried to go before their tags were called. Apparently, this pissed off the customs agents, who sent them all back onboard. Which created a huge delay. I was self assist on Deck 12, and we were told we would be called off at approximately 2:00 PM. I know that's always just an estimate, but we didn't called off until almost 4:00. This happened, even though our cruise director, Emma, made nearly constant announcements practically begging people not to try and come down to the gangway before their deck or tag number was called.

BoDidly Posted November 12, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think Carnival is loosing control with their debarkation process . Clearly the people in charge are NOT doing their jobs correctly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmundXXIII Posted November 12, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think Carnival is loosing control with their debarkation process . Clearly the people in charge are NOT doing their jobs correctly . I don't know. Every other Carnival cruise I've been on had an orderly debarkation process. The Norfolk situation was unusual. Because we arrived in port late, and some people were hopping to get off, I think it increased the number of people who didn't behave. Maybe the crew wasn't prepared for it, but it was an unusual situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
