Wasn’t planning to get off anyways. DD wants one of those Spirit Jersey’s. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe everyone. I guess I missed it for your reasoning of cancelling the 2nd leg. Other's seem to be okay with the sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for Orville99, but if I were in his shoes and the ship was simply returning to the same 2 ports with multiple sea days and no shows, I'd probably cancel too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, if its going to be a repeat, I can understand. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the itinerary, but everything to do with the actions of pax who feel that rules don’t apply to them, front facing staff too intimidated or just flat out scared for their own fragile safety to do anything about it; massive understaffing that makes the level of service untenable, and the attitude of several senior staff that whatever a passenger requests, they get whatever they get. We heard one too many “but you don’t understand and you should just accept it” from a senior staff for us to have the same experience next week. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still enjoying ourselves, but I am ready to "jump ship" on Sunday. And totally agree...way too many self entitled pax that don't care. Shame... Thanks again for starting this entertaining thread. 🙂 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't refund the port fees on my cancelled Navigator port last week either. I was more than impressed with their generosity and never gave it a second thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 13, 2022 #461 Share Posted January 13, 2022 If you are wondering how rough the sea can get here is a pic I captured at dinner last night. It was calm once we were eating. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 13, 2022 #462 Share Posted January 13, 2022 During lunch, Captain anounced we would arrive CocoCay around 10pm Friday night and engage crew transfers throughout the night. That way we are good to get off early Saturday morning for our Perfect Day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted January 13, 2022 #464 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So, I am only going to add to your hardship, by stating, that while the OP is getting off, and my DW would probably want to do the same thing if we were in their situation, I would be thinking this was a dream cruise, ever reduced passengers, no reason to get off the ship, aka more sea days, and TWO FlowRiders!!!! I am sorry, but happy would be me!😂 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted January 13, 2022 Author #465 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Before we depart, i do want to pass on kudos for the GS staff. They bent over backwards both last evening and again this morning to get us a phone line into the C&A desk so we could get the cruise cancelled. No easy task when you are at sea in bad weather while trying to bounce a signal off of a satellite. Will use the FCC on one of our upcoming 20 cruises, so all’s well that ends well. i also hope they get some fresh crew reinforcements, because the crew just look exhausted and defeated.

This is what tugs at my heartstrings the most. For us cruisers, this is just another vacay or fun activity (supposedly) but for the crew, it is their livelihood which in normal times was hard enough. Throw the pandemic in the mix and it becomes harrowing. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
