I'd have that daily and show it to them. If there was still pushback, I'd find a stripe and take it up a level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a group of 13 most like to be at the pool (not me though) but have no issues hanging out at the pool for 35 minutes before moving things... of course asking pool staff where I could place them, especially if they are not. bon voyage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost sounds like BS to give you and answer without giving you an answer? The bow thrusters always cause a lot of vibration and that's to be expected. It could be the Fresh Water Generator. There are 5 types of recovery engines on board with most located near the forward and aft engine rooms. It is possible that the reverse osmosis generator or FWG is located midship and turned on early to replenish the water used the previous day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for That! any mechanical system that can cause vibrations felt through the ship is not going to last a long time? I’m hoping they get it fixed before I sail on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MarkusToe Posted July 8, 2023 Author #111 Share Posted July 8, 2023 We booked the BCN airport transport service, provided by X. They promised: we pickup your lougagge and you will it get back out of the bus at BCN airport. Total fail. Luggage was rotating on the belt as very other luggage. We have to carry to the bus and load into the bus by ourself. Lesson learned: paid 30 bucks for a non existent Service. Next time taxi or uber, cost would be less than half as we are a party of 6..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to carry to the bus and load into the bus by ourself. We have sailed on almost 50 cruises and always use Celebrity, Princess and RCCL cruiseline bus to airport transfers. I have never experienced them doing what you were "promised". We've always claimed our luggage at the port and then were directed to take our luggage to the nearest bus going to our airlines. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MarkusToe Posted July 10, 2023 Author #125 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) That's ive asked specificaly. The answer from head of tech was no. Reason i've asked, vibration startet 2 hours befor docking in port...., regularly...exept first 2 days, here all time. This is normally the moment, they have to switch from Oil to marine diesel. The last 2 days, we don't have a problem... Edited July 10, 2023 by MarkusToe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
