pepsicruiser Posted January 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I was on last tender to Radiance at Grand Caymen this past week. 5 people from Freedom were 1/2 hr late and missed the boat. They tried to get on to Radiance to meet up with Freedom next day in Jamaica but we had no rooms available on ship. They had to fly back to Fla and then onto Jamaica if possible. Does anyone know if they ever got back onto Freedom??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury1995 Posted January 22, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I would have been extremely surprised if they were allowed on the Radinace even if they had cabins available. I would have thought they would have had to be listed on the manifest for the Radiance to dock at the next port of call (Jamaica) and disembark.

TC Cruiser Posted January 22, 2007 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Any idea if they were on their own or if they were on an excursion through a third party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have a "If you drink too much, or shop too long and miss the ship, you Dork!" clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsicruiser Posted January 22, 2007 Author #18 Share Posted January 22, 2007 They were on their own. From what the RCCL officers (who came on the tender after dealing with the 5 people) said they were definitely drinking at a local bar. They lost track of time.

smeyer418 Posted January 22, 2007 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I would have been extremely surprised if they were allowed on the Radinace even if they had cabins available. I would have thought they would have had to be listed on the manifest for the Radiance to dock at the next port of call (Jamaica) and disembark. The manifast requirement is to enter a US port. I don't know if Jamaica has the same requirement. Also they were lucky this was before 1/23 or they would have needed passports or a Travel authorization from the state department to get back into the US....and you can be sure that that it wouldn't be easy for them...and it is a bummer....

RickT Posted January 22, 2007 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No sympathy... Sounds like they just weren't paying attention and paid the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailinglisa Posted January 22, 2007 #22 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Gotta agree with RickT - no sympathy here. Sounds like they were drinking and not really thinking about getting back to the ship on time. I hope they paid big bucks to get back to the ship! Their own dang fault!

barbarah33 Posted January 22, 2007 #24 Share Posted January 22, 2007 That's my biggest fear on a cruise. I can't imagine showing up at the dock to see my ship sailing away without me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness, neither have I. :D Does insurance cover it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
