Divina Delayed Boarding

[tkwbear]

It’s 1:30 and no one has been allowed to board yet. No one here knows why. Do any of you know why? A guess would be a Coast Guard inspection.

Saw on another social media site that there was a medical emergency.

Was it your cruise that had to stop in Freeport for some reason?

No, that wasn’t us. The problem was an inspection. Even the back to back passengers weren’t allowed off until 1:45. I didn’t get on until 3:30 which included 30 minutes in the unventilated walkway. We sailed at 7:15.

I thought maybe it was the guy who posted here recently, saying he wanted to stay on the ship as late as possible, not understanding that they have to "zero out" all passengers before they can even start the checkin process for the next sailing.

Not this time. I’ve sailed with people like that, usually suite passengers who think they are above rules.

Wow. Quite the generalization 😳.

I talked to some passengers who were back to back from the previous cruise. According to them it was the stop in Columbia that triggered the inspection.

 

I was not that excited about the Divina. It’s okay but not great. I much prefer Meraviglia and Poesia.
