Zouave Posted October 14, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The weather just went bad on us. We’re supposed to land Ponte Delgado at 0700. Had a jeep set up to go into the crater. Well, it’s 0750 and we put our rudder to the island. No announcement by crew or ship officers…..Looks like we are headed to the Canaries. Two sea days.Addendum: Captain made announcement at 0800. Weather too extreme to safely dock. He seemed confused as to where we would be going next and when. Apparently he intends to sail by La Palma to see ongoing volcano eruption. This makes three port calls missed on this cruise.Yea, we know what the contract says, but the onboard confusion is ridiculous. Captain repeatedly mis identified where the volcano is and the expected time of passage (2:30 PM then 2:30 AM) in one or two days.The CD didn’t make his daily morning announcement. All wondering what’s going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Good morning. The Cd did make his announcement about 9:30. I was sitting in Dolce Vita when he spoke. Sorry you feel things are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zouave Posted October 14, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Lois, What is ridiculous is how the Captain did know his geography or timing of the route. He kept contradicting himself on time at La Palma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted October 14, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Gee, and I thought this was a great itinerary. Sorry you’re stuck on the ship for all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 14, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Mother Nature spoke. And the Capt corrected himself and spoke again around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
