GTO-Girl Posted October 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Has the cruise for today been cancelled? Or does anyone have the official word about a shorten sailing? I have some newbie friends who thinks the email about the port being closed also means the cruise is cancelled. Just want to be sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO-Girl Posted October 8, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just heard from our friends.... They can receive a full credit if they want to reschedule or wait and sail on a shorten cruise now and get a partial refund They elected to reschedule....

It's 50% off this cruise and the other 50% as OBC on another cruise if you choose to take the 3 night cruise to nowhere. It's no way I would turn that offer down.

KellyJean Posted October 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have a friend in Mobile right now waiting to cruise. All i have heard from her was that their cruise has been shortened 1 day and that they will not get to board until tomorrow.

PaperSniper4 Posted October 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2017 A cruise to nowhere? I would love that, what a great deal. "HAPPY SAILS TO YOU" 1 Mardi Gras 07/89 I see you sailed on the Mardi Gras. We did also, and it was in 1989, might even have been that date, I cannot remember. Fun ship. The first cruise my wife and I took together. I almost cried the day we returned to dock. I think ours was a four night cruise. I miss the old cruise ships with their wood and brass.....the new mega-ships do not do a lot for me. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted October 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Some people on this sailing have been told that the Port of Mobile will not even begin their inspection until Monday morning, or that the port will not reopen until Tuesday. The ship is currently south of Panama City according to CruiseMapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorncroft Posted October 10, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Fantasy is staying docked overnight because they are restricting navigation to daylight only, for now. It will steam out at first light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
