Th3BuffetAssassin Posted July 5, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Why ruin your vacation because you lose 2 of the 4 ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Addict Posted July 5, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I couldn't even watch all of it. It just aggrivates me. Is this when the Swine Flu outbreak happened and they couldn't go into Mexico? Geeez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeans*Fanatic Posted July 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What I find funny is that the poster of that youtube video had the nerve to get upset at people's responses. Why would he/she post a video on a public website that allows responses to videos, if he/she couldn't take the heat...... Doesn't it state in the contract that the cruiseline can miss ports without compensating the passengers? Well, apparently, the cruiseline is missing the port for a reason, which is most likely for our safety (in most cases anyway).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrose Posted July 5, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2009 lol.. I love how many experts in International Maritime law there are piping up in the background. Must've been a convention. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meluvtogocruise Posted July 5, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Was it Honduras??? For crying out loud - why would you want to go there in the middle of an uprising?? People are nuts! They must think they can get money back so they cause a big stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFsouth Posted July 5, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2009 We (DW and I) were on this cruise, Legend out of Tampa 5/3/09, didn't let this disrupt our vacation at all. Funny thing, it was still one of our best cruises!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted July 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Was it Honduras??? For crying out loud - why would you want to go there in the middle of an uprising?? No, I think you misunderstood... the uprising was happening on the ship, not in the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted July 5, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2009 They kept saying the Legend ... but I am not sure which ship it was. The funny thing is ...did you notice the Crystal Eagle in the background? Given to the ship in the fleet with the best comment cards .... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyn928 Posted July 5, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Good grief, it must be such a burden carrying around that much anger and hostility :( Missing a couple of ports would be a disappointment, but would not ruin my cruise. Ending up on a ship with these people certainly would though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meluvtogocruise Posted July 5, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 5, 2009 It seems there is a travel alert from US Government to anyone visiting Honduras due to the political turmoil there. Check US travel alerts to see what I'm talking about. I'll try to provide a link. mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meluvtogocruise Posted July 5, 2009 #13 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the current unstable political and security situation in Honduras, and recommends that American citizens defer all non-essential travel to Honduras until further notice. This Travel Alert expires on July 29, 2009. On Sunday June 28, the Honduran military ousted President Manuel Zelaya and sent him out of the country. There are military or police checkpoints throughout Tegucigalpa, and there have been reports of sporadic demonstrations. The Department of State recommends that American citizens residing in and visiting Honduras remain close to their homes or hotels unless their travel is of a life or death nature, or a scheduled departure from Honduras, and that U.S. citizens restrict travel within the country to necessary trips. The Government of Honduras has imposed a curfew for June 29 and June 30 from 9:00 p.m through 6:00 a.m. The U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa strongly recommends American citizens to abide by such curfews and to check the Embassy’s website for the latest information on curfews. The U.S. Embassy has restricted the travel of its staff within Honduras to necessary trips. The decision to lift or continue those restrictions will be made on a day-to-day basis.

emdia43 Posted July 5, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 5, 2009 There was a strike going on in Honduras- for security reasons ships were not ALLOWED to dock there- nothing to do with the Captain. Roatan could not ensure anyone's safety given the circumstances, civil unrest, but apparently these cruisers took it on themselves to start a mutiny.

Rodeomomof2 Posted July 5, 2009 #19 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The cruise line was looking out after the people's safety and I am sure that after that lovely little protest, they were willing to let them off the ship and let them fight it out in the port that was cancelled because of lack of safety...good grief, makes me feel like I now understand why people think some Americans are so spoiled...sad....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty dingo Posted July 5, 2009 #25 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I watched the whole video. It's proof positive that stupid, ignorant, and, greedy yankees do take cruises. I just wonder why the security did not escort that loud-mouth woman to her cabin and post a guard at the door. The cruise line should make it more obvious that if any port is missed that no compensation is due. It's in the contract but it should be taped to the inside of the door of every cabin in bold letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
