Domino D Posted September 14, 2017 #126 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The surf shop and restaurant are up and running, hotel and Starbucks should open soon. We lost power and had some damage to clubhouse and garages. Power is back so elevator is working. [emoji2] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Thanks so much John. Glad to hear that your power is back, hopefully things will get repaired quickly. Although if that's the clubhouse in the picture, looks like it took a pretty good lick. Happy cruising, and thanks again. We're getting on right behind you. We now return to the regularly scheduled topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingo3 Posted September 14, 2017 #128 Share Posted September 14, 2017 People need to actually read the cruise contract......not agreeing with practices that were clearly pointed out beforehand, is not RCCL's fault. People are also encouraged to take out insurance, especially during hurricane season. People choose to cruise during the season, so therefore need to be willing to take whatever risks are incurred. That's just my opinion and also why I do not sail during hurricane season, but I always take out insurance. People expect things, that had they read, AND BELIEVED, in their contract, they would know they are not going to get refunds, freebies, etc. Complaining about it will not help and ALL cruise lines do the same. The fact they are even offering credits is outside what they have to do. They are a business after all and they are trying to make money, greed, not sure I'd call it that. They have financial obligations, staff to pay, bills to pay as well, and they have investors, etc. to answer to. After all, if they didn't make money, they wouldn't even be an option for our traveling pleasure. Much as these inconveniences have occurred, the cruise lines have taken a huge financial hit, as well as the tourism in all these countries that were hit.

Domino D Posted September 14, 2017 #131 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Anybody know how the Hilton Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort survived? We are there October 5th. James, I think you will be fine. I'm not personally aware of their condition, but Hilton says the hotel will reopen this Friday for guests with existing reservations.

Domino D Posted September 14, 2017 #134 Share Posted September 14, 2017 We are on the same cruise and staying at the Country Inns and suites . I wonder how they are I don't know if John is still on and knows anything first hand about them. I don't have any contacts at Carlson, but their website says ALERT - Hurricane Irma: Due to the recent storm, the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson Cape Canaveral, FL is temporarily closed. Please contact Reservations at 1 (800) 456-4000 if you have an existing reservation during this time, as they can assist to find alternate accommodations with Country Inns & Suites. I hope they give you good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradocruiser01 Posted September 14, 2017 #135 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I had a reservation at Country Inn & Suites in Port Canaveral for this Saturday. They told me today that they anticipate reopening in one week. We ended up getting a room in Orlando as the Radisson was experiencing the same issues..

JMHO Good legal argument, public relations not so much. Especially since I suspect RCCI is going to be limping along with Western Caribbean sailings plus Nassau and a handful of other ports for the next few months. They're going to want goodwill from us.

TSDJan78 Posted September 15, 2017 #142 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I am 95% sure my mom lives in the same complex you do. They stayed on the Oasis for the extra days due to not having power or water. Any word if it is back? Oopps.. looks like it is from a previous post. Thanks!! The surf shop and restaurant are up and running, hotel and Starbucks should open soon. We lost power and had some damage to clubhouse and garages. Power is back so elevator is working.

CruiseKeeper Posted September 16, 2017 #146 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Only 7 points posted to my C&A account for the 10 day cruise. We'll see if the other 3 points ever show up. Mine also.

nyllrap Posted September 16, 2017 #147 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Mine also. The officer on channel 18 onboard last week (Allure) said we'd get all the points. So is it your understanding that for the 7 day cruise that turned into 10 days (3 that we didn't pay for), we will in fact get 10 cruise and anchor points? No big deal, and I won't be upset if we don't but one additional point will give me Diamond status. Sent from my iPod touch using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted September 16, 2017 #148 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Forgot to add that we got all 4 nights credited on our shortened MJ cruise. I know that's a slightly different situation.
