I get the frustration, I have no idea on what are talking about getting your money back.  Do you know they knew that at 10:30?  They are trying to get you on the ship and reacting to events they cannot control.   If you want to go home, go home.  

I get you Jimbo. We had a group on the Celebrity Summit out of San Juan WEEKS after Maria. OMG This message board kept our outlook alive. ( we stopped listening to negative usa media coverage) Celebrity was telling us NOTHING. We had no clue what to expect. but we kept our hopes up and a  positive attitude. The cruise line does what it does (can't blame them! Suck it up buttercup)  and we took a leap of faith. BEST cruise we ever took!

I love the Alchemy bar drinks too. Did your cheers package continue today for free or are being charged the $50 for today?

it continued. If they’re charging that’ll be a surprise. I would think we’d have to sign Up for that.

So for those embarking passengers who checked in earlier today and now need to get a hotel tonight, does anyone know if Carnival has finally returned their luggage?  Earlier this evening I heard Carnival as of yet hadn't returned it, but that was before Carnival made the announcement they wouldn't be embarking tonight.

There is an existing thread here for those who wish to post about the unfortunate delay in Embarkation.

Thanks! I hope that's the standard nomenclature for that drink. Sounds delicious.

The unfortunate thing is the people who aren’t tipping today. At least yesterday you could make an argument you autotipped. But that’s not the case today. I’m sure these guys are losing money and That only makes it worse.

 

 

Oh man, so many losers as we work our way through this. The crews are getting lost in the coverage for sure. They are probably more vulnerable to the virus than passengers as they are living in even closer quarters for weeks on end interacting with 10s of thousands of different people as the weeks and months go by. They are taking a huge hit financially too, I am sure you are taking extra care of the ones that are serving you tonight but unfortunately not enough do the same. 
 

This health crises, over hyped or not is causing a lot of damage, thanks again for giving us a first hand account. I wish you were waking down Hollywood Blvd tonight, the pictures would have been amazing!

But if you’re getting on I’d plan on tomorrow because the option was given and at this point I’m not leaving.

Yes! If you can get off quickly things are just warming up on Hollywood Blvd and it will go all night. Well, bars close at 2:00 AM here though, that’s why they technically don’t change the clocks back until 2 for daylight savings. You would think they would gives us that extra hour of drinking once a year but no, welcome to California! 

[Saint Greg]

So much space available for broadway beats. I didn’t see it earlier in the cruise. I have seen video to collect the song list for my blog lol.

yeah not happening. I’ve been drinking all day. Im close to bed.  It’s after 10(12 back home). We haven’t received clearance yet. It’s an hour drive after debarkation. And I haven’t eaten dinner. May need pizza at this point.

Yeah, plus it’s Spring forward not back, oops!  What a long day you’ve had, hope you get a refund for your hotel room tonight, it’s all over local news so should be no problem. Thanks again for sharing your ordeal/adventure, so happy it was a false alarm! 

[minniegidget]

Just wanted to add my thanks to you Gregg for all the updates all day. I have a friend on the ship and it was nice getting updates so I could pass them along to friends and family

two brunettes...behind guy in green jacket and on the left side...I ran into them in the stairs

earlier. I’m guessing they were trained to check on guests. They asked if I was okay. In a sad voice I said no..and I really need a hug. 

[Saint Greg]

No debarkation tonight per the captain

[Saint Greg]

Platinum debarkation is now 6:15 instead of 7..and oh yeah..set your clocks ahead.
