jame_g Posted June 25, 2023 #27 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I just checked the webcam and it looks like NCL is already docked, MSC is almost there just passing the Escape, and Carnival is right behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an update on embarkation time? Carnival sent this text saying not to arrive until 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 25, 2023 Author #31 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Here is the email Carnival sent. Guests will also be reimbursed for any pre-paid alcohol package, pre-paid internet, and gratuities for today. Is MSC offering this too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted June 25, 2023 #32 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Seems thur far that MSC is following Carnival’s lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please provide a link? I must have missed it. All I have is that MSC and CCl both gave $20 OBc (NCL gave $25), but I didn’t think that MSC offered a shuttle to bayside. I haven’t read where MSC is rebating alcohol, internet, and gratuities for today either, and communication from MSC appears to be the worst of the three. Hopefully @LMaxwell will come back and report his experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully @LMaxwell will come back and report his experience. Clearly I jumped the gun and should have said that MSC is following Carnival‘s lead insofar as the $20 shipboard credit is concerned. The rest of those things that Carnival is offering, I have not yet seen MSC match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted June 26, 2023 #38 Share Posted June 26, 2023 From what I heard on the PortMiami webcam, Seascape should be leaving around 12:30 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 26, 2023 Author #40 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Oh wow... I didn't realize @PompeySailor was yacht club and still didn't make it onboard until 10:00 p.m. The ship arrived back at port at 4:00 p.m. and sailed again after midnight. That turn around was 8 hours. Still quicker than a normal turn around day, but a long day for guests and crew. Hope those onboard are rested, relaxed, and have put the long day behind them. Would still like to hear from those who got off the ship yesterday. Reports are that both Miami and FLL airports were a mess yesterday with people who missed their flights.

Brighton Line Posted June 26, 2023 #41 Share Posted June 26, 2023 So they did cut down some of the turnaround time. Ships still have to bunker and provision with the dogs sniffing every pallet 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Vic Posted June 26, 2023 #43 Share Posted June 26, 2023 PompeySailor et al, very interesting posts. Went through a similar situation in Tampa in January when the port was closed due to fog. Ship docked at 6 p.m. and left around midnight. Thankfully we were onboard doing a B2B. No relief for those waiting to board - no facilities, no water and, of course, no announcements. CCL seems to have treated folks properly. Anyway, enjoy your cruises. Hope the deteriorating weather coming up from the Caribbean won’t affect your holiday. Cheers… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailaway was closer to 4AM. They had a muster around midnight but there was still some 2000+ guests not onboard. I never had muster this week.

Rare jcathers1 Posted July 2, 2023 #47 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We were on board for this delay, so it's interesting to read the perspective of those who were wanting to get ON, when we were just wanting to get OFF. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other ships were actually sailing and you were just boarding 😞 I hope the rest of your vacation was fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was over 1000 behind us waiting still. No, it was not a fabulous vacation. I posted a separate review. There are a number of issues with this ship that being YC might alleviate (might not?) but for standard category class, not up to par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
