It was a full house. We were there before the wave started and 4 good runs before the others showed up. This week there were about 10 others. Owen and I each got one run after. The week before they said that there was only the one cabin that rode. I guess it all depends on the week. There will be one more session on the next day. We booked a private rental for two days from now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 4, 2023 Author #359 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Social Media, in this case from Porto Rico, seems to be overly dramatic and wrong for the most part. A wave didn’t hit the ship and the ship wasn’t inspected to continue on. The ship was looking at the life raft. Probably someone on board who has no clue to what happened posted without looking into it. The captain kept us informed with announcements to what happened and why. Nothing in our cabin was out of place. Having experienced a rouge wave I can affirm we were not “hit by a wave”. Here is the social media post. Yes, the water came over and thankfully no one appears to be under it or hurt. There were no Alpha calls during the event for injuries. It also was not treated as an Oscar event, no call was made. I would suspect because it didn’t involve anyone from the ship. Edited January 4, 2023 by A&L_Ont 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starboard wave stopped as its water ran across the pool deck with the list of the ship. We were on the port wave riding and no effect on it. I could see the hard turn of the ship and looked the wake and immediately said to Lisa that something was up. The captain’s announcement was about 10 minutes later. Edit to add - I didn’t see a bogie boarder float by our wave.😅 Edited January 4, 2023 by A&L_Ont 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 4, 2023 Author #362 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This Seabourn ship just arrived. Not sure if Harmony birthed it last night on the way here but I think we could jam it into Central Park and fill the gap. For scale and perspective, I’m standing on our balcony on deck 17, and I’m taller than its highest point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial thoughts are it is bigger than Nachi but not as crazy as Playa Mia. There are no ship run excursions here like Playa Mia. As far as peacefulness it is not like Nachi but if you need to have activity this is right in the middle of the the 3 day resorts. Over all report to come later in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
